Storyline
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."The show, taped at the Paramount Theater in Madison Square Garden and winner of the 1992 CableACE Award, is a perfect blend of biting social commentary and more gently-observed observational pieces.

Carlin dedicated the special to Sam Kinison, who died two weeks before airing. Carlin was inspired by Kinison's loud voice to raise his own vocal level. See more »Quotes
George Carlin: You know my favorite thing on television? Bad news! Bad news and disasters and accidents and catastrophes! I'm looking for some explosions and fires, I want to see shit blowing up and bodies flying around! I don't care about the budget, I'm not interested in labor negotiations, I don't want to know what country the fucking Pope is in. But you show me a hospital, it's on fire, and people on crutches are jumping off the roof, and I'M A HAPPY GUY!See more »

Carlin comes back to New York in this 1992 comedy special and I actually liked it. This time, anger comes into him like never before and it fuels his comedy as he rants about the Persian Gulf War/Penises, Universal moments we share, The planet and environment, flying on the airplanes and the best part, Golf Courses for the homeless. Terrific entertainment with a added incentive: comes to Madison Square Garden to perform and makes the crowd rolling. Excellent, for Carlin fans. Best line: "What about those passengers traveling with large children? Suppose you have a 2 year old with a pertuitary disorder, you know a 6ft infant with an oversized head?" A++
