* As cynical as George was, the final monologue of his 1992 HBO special "Jammin' in New York" was absolutely moving. While these words were spoken years before his death, they come off as sort of a parting message to his audience and the world in general.

* The 2008 HBO special "It's Bad For Ya" is pretty sad to watch, given that George would be dead within a couple months.

* Creator/KevinSmith, who directed George in ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', has recounted the story of how George asked to speak to him before filming began. Smith immediately began to panic, fearing that Carlin had a problem with his role or was going to ask for more money. When they sat down, the normally voluble Carlin was acting nervous, and he proceeded to ask Kevin if, because of the recent death of his wife, would it be possible for him to put a Band-Aid over his wedding ring instead of removing it (which he wasn't ready to do yet). Smith immediately gave him the go-ahead.

* On a meta-level, the fact that we will never have any more Carlin material than that which already exists is bittersweet. While there is a lot of it out there, his premature death rendered his body of work ultimately limited and fans will run out of new stuff to listen to eventually.
