minus-squaresome_guy@lemmy.sdf.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up37·4 months agoPoor guy got no respect. It was pretty sad. Seriously, though. I saw his standup for the first time several years ago. I think this was from the early 80s on Carson and the dude was lit. I only knew him from movies and his general schtick. I’d never seen his timing and delivery. He was great.
minus-squareAa!@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·4 months agoHis standup was definitely better than any of his movies
minus-squareummthatguy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 months agoGonna badmouth Caddyshack and Back to School, really?
minus-squareAa!@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·edit-24 months agoBack to School, definitely. Well, not really badmouth, but I thought it was fairly mediocre. But really I meant to praise his standup and say his movies didn’t do him justice. He was just funnier when doing his own material
minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·4 months agoThere are an amazing number of Carson clips on YouTube. Lots of very cool moments and people coming together you wouldn’t expect. The only time I think you will ever see George Carlin and Richard Pryor on TV together was when they were on Carson. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfBhy28sMKw
