George was brilliant, funny, incisive, with the kind of intelligence that cut through bullshit with ease, and he could keep everybody laughing while he did it.
But I really disliked his bad language. He didn't need it. A subject isn't funny just because it's delivered with a lot of four-letter words (all of which I have used myself, and still do when they're warranted) and I thought it was a shame that he took that particular tack. Strong language should be used for impact, not as a substitute for expression.
Check out his address to the National Press Club Luncheon (it's on YouTube). He kept a room full of jaded reporters laughing for an hour and didn't swear once.
Orright, orright, I'll admit to being old-fashioned but that was my only reservation. I liked the guy.
Absolutely! One of the best comedians ever!!
Most of the time.
Yes! Β He was a genius with his comedy routine.
I like his stuff, but he was before my time
A lot of Yes, and a little bit of No.

More or less. He made me laugh but I don't go out of my way to watch or listen to him.
Yep.
Yes, George was very funny.
Absolutely!
