"An older, angrier George Carlin riffs on the sexuality of Operation Desert Storm, the inanity of airline announcements, sporting solutions for the nation's homeless, and the likely future of the planet in yet another virtuoso comedy performance first televised as an HBO special." -
Allmusic
"George Carlin, one of the most sardonic and satirical comedians in the business, once again uses his sharp-edged wit to dissect political figures, government agencies... and eating disorders. This special received an Emmy nomination, and features Carlin in top form." -
Rotten Tomatoes
"When George Carlin is asked which HBO concert is his favorite, his answer is always, "Jammin' In New York." The reasons are several: It was his first HBO show done live; it was the first he had done in his hometown, New York City; and it was the largest audience he had ever worked before: 6,500.But Carlin says it also represented a newfound sophistication in his writing. "It was the first time I had done truly extended pieces consisting of separate sections all flowing together. It was a big leap for me." -
