His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.

Entre los participantes se encuentra Ben Richards (Arnold Schwarzenneger), dispuesto a aprovechar la oportunidad que le han ofrecido.
When George Carlin is asked which HBO concert is his favorite, his answer is always, "Jammin’ In New York."
