Knowing now what this cast of players would go on to do, this makes for one very interesting watch.

George Carlin: The Real George Carlin
Title: George Carlin: The Real George Carlin
Character: Self
Released: August 1, 1973
Type: Movie
Carlin recorded his only network special, The Real George Carlin, in 1973. Featuring bits about growing up in New York, the material is neither profane nor squeaky clean – but has a slice of life element obviously lacking in the cuddly Carlin of the '60s. There’s a gold star moment of longhaired George mocking a cardboard cutout of the suit and tie version, and so take-em-or-leave-them musical appearances by BB King and Kris Kristofferson. Certainly, worth a modern glance.
