George Carlin dies at 71 famed for seven words routine
Comedian George Carlin died at 71 after heart failure at St. John’s Health Center Santa Monica. He defined counterculture humor with sharp satire on language religion and hypocrisy and helped shape Supreme Court free speech discourse through his famous seven words routine. Carlin won four Grammys and remained a prominent TV and film presence with SNL appearances and Laugh factory tours. Survivors include his wife Sally Wade daughter Kelly Carlin McCall and brother Patrick Carlin.
