When you go to a stand-up show, the comedian is usually completely prepared. He or she knows 100 percent what to say, in what order the jokes should fall. Even when it seems like we're not on top of it, it's just part of the smokescreen. Every once in a while, some of us dive into the deep end of the pool, not knowing where it will end up. Do we drown or do we make the best dive, because when you get it right with improv, as we call it, it can be magical. Unfortunately, it's never really captured on camera, but ZULU has asked Christian Fuhlendorff to change that. That's why he throws himself off the seesaw, with no preparation, no ideas, just himself and his thoughts.

Carlin returns to the stage in his 13th live comedy stand-up special, performed at the Beacon Theatre in New York City for HBO®. His spot-on observations on the deterioration of human behavior include Americans’ obsession with their two favorite addictions - shopping and eating; his creative idea for The All-Suicide Channel, a new reality TV network; and the glorious rebirth of the planet to its original pristine condition - once the fires and floods destroy life as we know it.

When George Carlin is asked which HBO concert is his favorite, his answer is always, "Jammin’ In New York." 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.

This material was developed and prepared over the last year or so, mostly in comedy clubs. This special kind of goes back to when he used to just make noises and be funny for no particular reason. It felt right to him to shoot this special in a club to give it that live immediate intimate feeling. The show is about an hour long. The opening act, who is seen at the beginning (good place for an opening act) is Jay London. One of his favorite club comics going way back to the late 80s when he first started in working in New York.
