But his passion for comedy also extends into the world of stand-up. Not only has he taken the stage himself plenty of times throughout his career, but he shined a light on the late Garry Shandling with an extensive two-part HBO documentary called <span><em>The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling<\/em>. Now, Apatow will return to the documentary world with a film looking at the life and career of\u00a0<strong>George Carlin<\/strong>, the legendary comedian who recorded no less than 14 comedy specials for HBO.<br \/><\/br><\/span><span id=\"more-621169\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>In an interview with The Boston Globe (via Collider) in support of his upcoming movie <em>The King of Staten Island<\/em> (read our review), Judd Apatow revealed that he\u2019s getting started on a documentary about George Carlin. Apatow said:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c[I\u2019m] aboutto start work with my partner <strong>Michael Bonfiglio<\/strong> on a documentary about George Carlin. So I\u2019m looking forward to watching a lot of Carlin interviews and specials. I think his work turned out to be very prophetic.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Michael Bonfiglio previously worked with Judd Apatow on the ESPN <em>30 for 30<\/em> documentary <em>Doc &#038; Darryl<\/em>, a chronicle of New York Mets players <span>Doc Gooden and Darryl Strawberry<\/span>, who were beloved athletes who unfortunately went down a destructive path. He also executive produced<em> <span>The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling<\/span><\/em> for Apatow, and recently came off directing another documentary about a late stand-up comedian, Patrice O\u2019Neal.<\/p>\n<p>George Carlin is considered to be one of the greatest stand-up comedians of all-time. Not only did he make sharp, hilarious observations, but he offered brilliant social criticism, making provocative and insightful observations about American culture that weren\u2019t always politically correct. Carlin was such a riveting orator that his stand-up specials simultaneously felt like comedic brilliance and philosophy lectures. Here\u2019s one of his most famous bits, about the seven words you can\u2019t say on television:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8dCIKqkIg1w?feature=oembed\" width=\"740\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p data-pw-in-article=\"true\">George Carlin\u2019s career really took off in the late 1960s thanks to sparking a comedy duo with a Texas radio DJ named Jack Burns. Though they only made one album together, <i>Burns and Carlin at the Playboy Club Tonight, <\/i>they remained friends for their entire lives. Carlin was also a frequent guest on <strong><em>The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson<\/em><\/strong>, and became one of the most frequent guest hosts whenever Carson took a break.<\/p>\n<p data-pw-in-article=\"true\">Interestingly enough, George Carlin was present at the comedy club when controversial comedian Lenny Bruce was arrested for obscenity. This was a time when profanity was considered to be incredibly offensive and was looked down upon, even in comedy clubs. Carlin was asked for his identification, and when he told the police that he didn\u2019t believe in government-issued IDs, he was arrested and taken to jail along with Lenny Bruce.<\/p>\n<p data-pw-in-article=\"true\">Carlin\u2019s profile gained even more steam when he was the host of the first episode of <strong><em>Saturday Night Live<\/em><\/strong>. Throughout the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Carlin released four or five comedy specials every decade, including the aforementioned HBO specials. On top of that, he made a few <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>earances on the big screen, most famously as the time <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">travel<\/a>ing Rufus in <strong><em>Bill and Ted\u2019s Excellent Adventure<\/em><\/strong> and <strong><em>Bill and Ted\u2019s Bogus Journey<\/em><\/strong>. But he also had bit parts in Kevin Smith\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> <strong><em>Dogma, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back<\/em><\/strong>, and <strong><em>Jersey Girl<\/em><\/strong>, not to mention <strong><em>The Prince of Tides<\/em><\/strong>,<strong><em> Scary Movie 3<\/em><\/strong>, and Pixar\u2019s <strong><em>Cars<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-pw-in-article=\"true\">Sadly, Carlin died of heart failure at 71 years old back in 2008. Just four months earlier, he had completed what would become his final comedy special, <em>It\u2019s Bad For Ya<\/em>. The outpouring of love from the comedy community that he influenced so much was overwhelming, and I\u2019m sure Apatow has no shortage of famous friends he can talk to about George Carlin\u2019s legendary comedy career.<\/p>\n<p data-pw-in-article=\"true\">A decade after George Carlin died, there was a biopic announced to be in the works from Stan Chervin, the writer of <em>Moneyball<\/em>. We haven\u2019t heard anything about the development of that project since then, but hopefully we\u2019ll hear more soon.<\/p>\n<p>                            <strong>Cool Posts From Around the Web:<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.slashfilm.com\/judd-appatow-directing-george-carlin-documentary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>if you want to watch Movies or Tv Shows go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/dizi.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dizi.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a> <\/span> for forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Judd Apatow Working on a Documentary About Legendary Comedian George Carlin&#8221; Judd Apatow is best known for directing R-rated comedies like The 40-Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, and\u00a0Trainwreck.
