George Carlin - On Location: George Carlin at USC (1977)


"George Carlin's first ever comedy special, filmed live at the University of Southern California. Here, he talks about monopoly, flying on planes, random thoughts, walking, and other things." - IMDb

"In the process of planning this broadcast, the word spread quickly, and so much so that it resulted in a serious legal hearing at theFederal Communications Commission. Due to the controversy, Carlin sticks with more user-friendly material." - Wikipedia

"Recorded in 1977 as part of HBO’s On Location series, George Carlin’s ninety-minute special caused a stir in America before it even aired." - Split Sider

"But USC's legacy is its "seven dirty words" centerpiece, a finely sculpted dissection of corporate censorship that's far less about spewing obscenities than it is about examining the ways that we as a culture police our own thoughts." - Rolling Stone
