Comedian George Carlin died in 2008, but only now is one of the most famous routines he ever did surfacing on his website for all to hear and laugh at.
The comedian's site is getting relaunced, and with it multiple rare recordings, including his infamous "Seven Words You Can Never Say On Television" bit, will be available to stream, according to Rolling Stone.
Carlin was arrested for disturbing the peace after performing the routine at Milwaukee's Summerfest in 1972. Six years after getting arrested for the routine, it played a large part in a Supreme Court decision regarding what words are in fact allowed to be said on broadcasts.
George Carlin's daughter Kelly Carlin explained to NPR that her father kept recordings of many big moments in his career.
"I have a box of audiocassettes that my dad had kept over the years, starting with shows in the 1960s, ones that were important him, kind of seminal moments in his career," she said. "And we've been listening to them and archiving them."
The relaunching of the comedian's website comes at a time that he is being honored in other ways as well.
Just this past week on March 26, Carlin became the newest face featured at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. It's ironic, seeing how the comedian made a living off of bashing establishments, notably the American government, but his daughter told Rolling Stone that he would be proud.
"I know he would have been thrilled, even though he was a man who stood up against all of our major institutions in this country," Kelly Carlin said.
