George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, author, and social critic. Regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians of all time, he was dubbed "the dean of counterculture comedians". He was known for his black comedy and reflections on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and taboo subjects. His "seven dirty words" routine was central to the 1978 United States Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a 5–4 decision affirmed the government's power to censor indecent material on public airwaves.

I didn't know Lenny. But I already liked the introduction on wipipedia.

His 1964 conviction in an obscenity trial was followed by a posthumous pardon in 2003.

He was one of the greatest at his time and he didn't shy away from complex issues or jokes especially in this too woke society we are in.
