George Carlin's American Dream

Graphic with different portraits of George Carlin

Where: Crave
What: Miniseries, 2 episodes, 120 mins.
When: Now
Genre: Documentary
Why you should watch: Judd Apatow’s loving and engaging look at legendary standup comedian George Carlin through his many incarnations. A-list comedians and close family speak frankly about the groundbreaking comic who had dry spells while chasing a vision of himself. Inspired by Lenny Bruce, Carlin’s system-challenging comedy of issues like abortion, racism and freedom of speech is sadly still relevant today.
