Sorry but I do not know him. Have you a link to his better material Illumina? If he makes you laugh i'm sure he will make me laugh.

Carlin is basically rude, crude, and socially unacceptable - which is why so many people think his material is outrageously hilarious. He makes fun of just about everybody in his act. His language is extremely vulgar and I don't particularly care for his slams on religion - but I can understand why others find such material to be so funny.
Here is a link to his website. George Carlin. I think you can listen to some snippets of his material and/or read some others. Just reading his commentary on the home page and a few others will give you a taste of what his material is like.
As for the rehab, I have no doubt that George HAS done serious amounts of cocaine and other illicit drugs, but he is 67 and most people tend to start weaning away from the hard stuff as they get older. I do respect him for recognizing and admitting that he has a problem and needs some help with it. Most people (and especially celebrities) would not be that bold - but George Carlin has never cared what others thought about him, so it makes since he wouldn't be worried about "what people might say" about this either.
I do wish him a successful and speedy rehab. He is hilarious (most of the time anyway) and I hope he will be back to work very soon.
