On October 22nd, 2014, after three years of fighting City Hall and the Catholic Church, the City of New York named that corner “George Carlin Way" in his honor. This is the story of two obsessed men, one whose obsessions led him to become one of the world’s greatest comedians, and one whose obsession led him to getting George Carlin Way its name. We speak to Patrick Carlin, George Carlin’s brother, about his life and the neighborhood they grew up in together, we speak to Larry Getlen, author of Conversations With Carlin, about Carlin’s life and career, and Kevin Bartini, the comedian who spearheaded the campaign, about his fight with Carlin’s old Catholic School to get the street named. In addition, we speak to the comedians who knew him and were influenced by him, including Lewis Black, Dave Attell, Orson Bean, Kelly Carlin, Eddie Brill, Jon Fisch, Judah Friedlander, Gilbert Gottfried, Tony Hendra, Robert Klein, Jeff Kreisler, Liam McEneaney, Jim Norton, Colin Quinn, and his widow, Sally Wade. In addition, we’ll hear Carlin’s story in his own words, via old interviews and a bootleg recording. And finally, we recorded the actual speeches made at the ceremony by Colin Quinn and Kevin Bartini.
