Away We Go with George Carlin (1967) - Footage Offline - 10/12/10

Here are three different segments from the 1967 summer replacement Away We Go featuring George Carlin. Away We Go was named after Jackie Gleason's catch phrase as the program was the summer replacement for The Jackie Gleason Show. It was Carlin's first full time television job and he worked as a featured performer and staff writer. When the Gleason program returned in the fall, Carlin was set up easily to make a pair of stand-up performances.

A Tribute to Mr. Television Milton Berle with guest George Carlin (1978)

When George Carlin's career was faltering in the late seventies, he reverted back temporarily to the type of path he had been following throughout the sixties until his LSD induced breakthrough. He returned to the world of hokey variety shows and sitcoms, doing sanitized versions of the good Carlin. Although this had a bit to do with the changing tides of showbiz and the new onslaught of comedy styles brought on by the burgeoning club comic scene, a lot of it can also be chalked up to Carlin's increasing dependency on cocaine and the adverse affects it had on his process.

Apparently this is from the interim between Jack Paar and Johnny Carson when several different guest hosts were at the helm. The guest host on this episode would have been Mort Sahl.
