A new collection of greatest hits from one of the greatest comedians of our time, George Carlin, now the subject of the HBO documentary George Carlinā€™s American Dream, directed by Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio

George Carlin was: ā€œa true, true artistā€ (Chris Rock)ā€¦ā€the masterā€ (Jon Stewart)ā€¦ā€œone of the Mount Rushmore guys in our professionā€ (Jerry Seinfeld)ā€¦ā€œthe comedianā€™s comedianā€ (Jay Leno)ā€¦ā€œan icon for comedyā€ (Margaret Cho)ā€¦ā€a deep thinker and a very, very funny manā€ (Lily Tomlin)ā€¦ā€œone of my heroesā€ (Stephen Colbert)ā€¦ā€œbrilliantā€ (Joan Rivers)ā€¦
You canā€™t talk about comedy legends without talking George Carlin. Named the greatest standup of all time by XM Radioā€™s ā€œAll Time Comedy Greatsā€ (and #2 by both Comedy Central and Rolling Stone), Carlin garnered multiple gold records, 4 Grammys, 6 Emmy nominations, and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. He was the first host of SNL, appeared on the Tonight Show some 130 times, and acted in beloved films like Bill and Tedā€™s Excellent Adventure and Dogma. Dubbed ā€œthe dean of counterculture comedians,ā€ there was no one like George Carlin. 
 
Featuring a foreword by Lewis Black and an introduction by Carlin's longtime best friend and manager, A Modern Man is a perfect introduction for new fans and a must-have for longtime fans, showcasing the longevity, range, andā€”above allā€”hilarity of the master. Filled with thoughts, musings, questions, lists, beliefs, curiosities, monologues, assertions, assumptions, and other delicious verbal ordeals, it is drop-dead funny tour through Carlinā€™s singular mind. More than ten years after his death, Carlinā€™s characteristically ironic takes on life's annoying universal truths remain thoughtful, fearless, and somehow more relevant than ever.
