Maybe
He also talked about George Carlin on the show the Monday after he
died. It is on YouTube:

Then on Tuesday, this was the discussion Dave had with Richard
Belzer. From the Wahoo Gazette:
>ACT 6:
RICHARD BELZER: Dave asks Richard about his relationship with George
Carlin. Richard only has great things about his old friend, and shares
stories about how supportive George was to him in the early days.
Richard says he (Belzer) was banned from doing the Tonight Show by one
of Carson’s producers. They didn’t like Belzer’s act and thought he
should never do the show. Then in 1981 or so, George was guest
hosting. Carlin said he wanted Richard Belzer to do the show. The
producers protested, but George won out. Richard says it was the first
time he did the Tonight Show and it changed everything for him. Dave
says it says a lot about George Carlin to stick his neck out like that
for a fellow performer.
Richard relays what George Carlin once said he would want on his
tombstone: “Geez, he was here just a minute ago.”
Richard says there was no topic off limits for George Carlin. My guess
is anything that George felt approached “off limits,” he would make
sure to not only move closer to it, but stomp it to near death. Dave
shares his amazement at the amount of new material George would
constantly turn out. >
Maybe...now the Late Show is on vacation for the next two weeks

I didn't stick around for the rest of the small town news - was there more
for George during/after that?

I'd guess that Dave had kind of a strained relationship with Carlin.
There must have been a reason Carlin was such an infrequent guest.
Carlin seemed to get along much better with Leno.
I've always considered both Dave and Carlin to be among the all-time
giants, and it always bothered me that they didn't seem very chummy.
