George Carlin: Jammin' in New York

8.1

1992

Movie

HD

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.The show, taped at the Paramount Theater in Madison Square Garden and winner of the 1992 CableACE Award, is a perfect blend of biting social commentary and more gently-observed observational pieces.

Movie

HD

Maher addresses contemporary political, social and cultural topics -- Iraq, President Bush and the so called Axis of Evil. The opinionated Maher said about Victory Begins at Home: \Weve heard everything about the War on Terrorism except what we can actually do to help win it. The government used to do that for us through propaganda (the positive kind) posters, so taking my cue from the great old posters of World War I and World War II (Loose Lips Sink Ships, Buy War Bonds, Plant a Victory Garden, etc.) I commissioned artists to paint the posters our government today should be putting out to help us win this war.\
