MPI Home Video will release of It’s Bad For Ya, George Carlin’s Emmy nominated 14th and final HBO special from March 2008 on Blu-ray and on November 25th. It’s Bad For Ya also includes a 30-minute featurette titled “Too Hip For the Room,” which is an interview conducted by The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Foundation’s Archive of American Television program where Carlin speaks about his early influences, philosophy, comedic style, major career milestones, and his legacy.
“Doing new stuff is a point of pride with me. I can’t do old material; I would feel like a failure. People may not consider it so, but stand-up comedy is one of the performing arts, and artists are supposed to grow and evolve over time. Through the years, my technique has sharpened, my writing has improved and even my observations have grown richer,” said the late comedy legend of It’s Bad For Ya.
Having just celebrated his 50th anniversary in show business last year and the recipient of the forth-coming Mark Twain Prize for American Humor on November 10th, comedy fans will able to add to their collection Carlin’s fourth CD debut release of Carlin on Campus from Laugh.com, which will be released November 4th. Long out of print since its 1984 LP release, Carlin On Campus features such classic routines: Cars and Driving, An Incomplete List of Impolite Words and of course, Baseball and Football.
