I hope so too, but I don't know that many great comics that fall off like that. Carlin was true to himself to the end, Seinfeld still tours and works relentless

I hope so too, but I don't know that many great comics that fall off like that. Carlin was true to himself to the end, Seinfeld still tours and works relentlessley on his act. Chris Rock may have lost a little bit but is still one of the best standups alive.

Here's 10 mins or so from Louis CK at a tribute to Carlin: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R37zkizucPU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R37zkizucPU He says his first hour of comedy took 15 years to build up, and he hated all of it. Then he heard an interview with Carlin where he said every year he threw all his old jokes away and would have to come up with a new hour of material, forcing him to get to the core of what was important and real (or something)... And that's when Louis says his career took off.
