Seinfeld on Carlin

Jerry Seinfeld's tribute to George Carlin says as much about Seinfeld as Carlin. Both generous-spirited observational comics; both modest and down to earth. They aren't just funny, but convivial as well.

You could certainly say that George downright invented modern American stand-up comedy in many ways. Every comedian does a little George… [Carlin] was like the naughtiest, most fun grown-up you ever met … reading you a bedtime story.
