1. I've been a fan since his 1967 hippie-dippie weatherman daze
Tonight's forecast: Dark. Continued dark tonight, turning to partly light in the morning

He often guest hosted for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show - never missed the treat, and we were never disappointed.

5. I'm a life-long Carlin fan
First saw him live a couple years ago in San Diego when he was debuting material that was going to be on "Life Is Worth Losing".
