This is my favorite george carlin special thus far. This feels cohesive in a way none of his other specials gave felt. I wonder if his idea of converting golf courses into affordable housing for the homeless can be done for real. If not then i can't see why.

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."
