Day 527/-205: Friday, February 22, 2008: The 5th Level (written 9/11/08)

September 11th, 2008

Thanks to my aunt for sending me this great, short Q&A with George Carlin. Very concise answers on what being a comedian is all about.

Seinfeld talked about 4 levels of comedy:

1. You can make your friends laugh.

2. You can make strangers laugh.

3. People pay you to make them laugh.

4. People start to talk like you.

And I’d purport that the 5th level would be…

1. People start to think like you.

If anyone got there, it was George Carlin.
