1. **Daughter Kelly Carlin, who sued creators of an hourlong special titled ‘George Carlin: I’m Glad I’m Dead’, said :**

   > “We have to draw a line in the sand. This is going to be a fight on every front, with entertainment at the center.”

2. Was the special good?

3. Will Sasso, why’d you do this. Of all people you’d think a fellow comedian would not do something like this

4. Good. I hope they’ll win big.

5. Just wait till we get AI lawyers

6. It’s not funny and it’s really weird.

7. The voice was off. Some of the bits were okay.

8. Stop it now because “they” will continue this until it’s a normal thing.

9. I remember seeing a video where Daniel tosh had met Carlin and jokingly eluded to while talking to him about writing a joke with him and Carlin flat out said no. Didn’t chuckle along and was very guarded during the conversation. Dudesy, while funny, picked the wrong comedian.

10. I’d be interested to know how many people are listening to it because they think it’s a good special, and how many just think it’s an interesting, if not a little morbid, spectacle. I’d wager the latter is more common, it’s really no substitute for a real standup special.
