When George Carlin receives the Mark Twain Humor prize, will PBS bleep his acceptance speech?
It was not known at first what kind of ceremony would occur for 2008 honoree George Carlin, who died on June 22, 2008, just four days after the Kennedy Center announced he would be that year’s recipient of the honor. After consulting with both Carlin’s family and PBS, the ceremony will take place as scheduled, with no major changes in the presentation format.
