Carlin returns to the stage in his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO®. His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Carlin performed this at 68, just three years before his own death—making his fixation on mortality feel almost prophetically self-aware.
The 'All-Suicide Channel' predated actual reality TV controversies by years; Carlin essentially predicted the moral bankruptcy that would produce shows like 'Intervention.'
