ET breaks the news that comedian George Carlin has died from heart failure. The man who made famous the "seven words you can never say on television" passed away at 5:55 p.m. Sunday at Saint John's Hospital in Santa Monica, his longtime publicist said. He was 71.

Carlin, who has had several heart attacks and a history of cardiac issues, went into the hospital this afternoon after complaining of heart problems.

Carlin has more than 20 comedy albums, 14 HBO specials, numerous TV and movie roles, and three best-selling books to his credit. Last year, he celebrated his 50th year in show business, and he had just finished his last HBO special in March, "It's Bad for Ya."

I'll bet SNL will be doing a tribute, since he was the host of their first episode.

Hope the afterlife isn't all about religion, George.

Damn, another one of the list of people to rape get's knocked off.
I think Reichu is up to something.

I feel kind of stupid because I've never heard of the guy. Still, my sympathies to the family.

One of my favorite comics. Will miss his bits a lot.

In his honor:"Shit, Piss, Fuck, Cunt, CockSucker, MotherFucker, and Tits"

Also some of his genius:

He will be missed. :crybaby:

Rest in Peace, George.

I also hope the afterlife isn't all about that "Invisible man in the sky who loves us". ;)

Hunter: Awesome.

"Died?! No, just passed away"

Saw the SNL ep with him a week or so ago; wonderful comedian. RIP George.

I'm late to this, but since I've already replied to 4 or 5 Carlin threads already, might as well here:
