If Milli Vanilli fall over in the woods, does somebody else make a sound?

He replaced Ringo Starr in the American kiddie show Shining Time Station
with Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends.
Odd to think of George Carlin hosting a kiddie show. Even odder than Ringo.

It IS odd. I wonder if he used his list of 9 (?) words you can't say on
TV?
Seven, actually. Most of those words can be heard on TV these days,
especially on pay-TV such as HBO.

Also on YouTube.
The last one is pretty mild. Howie Mandel said it years ago when he was
subbing for Johnny Carson, and asked Dr. Joyce Brothers to show hers.

"...Agathon: But you have proved many times that the soul is immortal.
Allen: And it is! On paper. See, that's the thing about philosophy -
it's not all that functional once you get out of class.
Simmias: And the eternal 'forms'? You said each thing always did exist
and always will exist.
Allen: I was talking mostly about heavy objects. A statue or
something. With people it's a lot different.
Agathon: But all that talk about death being the same as sleep.
Allen: Yes, but the difference is that when you're dead and somebody
yells, 'Everybody up, it's morning,' it's very hard to find your
slippers.
(The executioner arrives with a cup of hemlock. He bears a close
facial resemblance to the Irish comedian Spike Milligan.)
Executioner: Ah - here we are. Who gets the poison?
Agathon: (Pointing to me) He does.
Allen: Gee, it's a big cup. Should it be smoking like that?
Executioner: Yes. And drink it all because a lot of times the poison's
at the bottom.
Allen: (Usually here my behaviour is totally different from Socrates'
and I am told I scream in my sleep.) No - I won't! I don't want to
die! Help! No! Please!
(He hands me the bubbling brew amidst my disgusting pleading and all
seems lost. Then because of some innate survival instinct the dream
always takes an upturn and a messenger arrives.)
Messenger: Hold everything! The senate has re-voted! The charges are
dropped....."
Who Tube???
"Everybody out!!!!"
BarBRA Windsor made her day boot in that show. Both of her.
