* Creator/GeorgeCarlin: A comedian famous for his dirty mouth, he was actually jailed because of his routine in the '70s. His routine also frequently takes shots at organized religion and drugs. His acting roles include ''[[Film/BillAndTed Bill And Ted's Excellent Adventure]]'' and ''Film/{{Dogma}}'', not to mention [[PlayingAgainstType Mr. Conductor]] on ''Series/ShiningTimeStation''. He's the creator of the SevenDirtyWords routine, and was the very first host on the very first episode of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive''. Carlin also hosted an episode on the show's tenth season [1984-1985] and, unlike his first time hosting, actually participated in sketches. Carlin was such a huge part of ''SNL'''s history that the very first episode reran following his death in June 2008). His later work (starting with ''What Am I Doing in New Jersey?'') tended to be scathing socio-political commentary, and apart from the SevenDirtyWords routine, this is arguably what he is best known for today; Carlin himself regarded his later work as his best.

Was a long-term host of Weekend Update on ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' before getting his own short-lived talk show. At the end of its run, he gained recognition for his epic rants about social and political issues, which he spun into a second talk show on HBO and eventually became a Creator/{{Fox News|Channel}} commentator, but does do the occasional stand-up special.
