A foundational piece of the Carlin legacy has gone to the big comedy club in the sky. Jack was one of the sharpest motherfuckers I knew. He shaped my father’s mind in unique ways. RIP Jack Burns. https://t.co/aOPpeysM5I

R.I.P. Jack Burns. George Carlin’s first comedy partner, early Second City alum, head writer for the first season of The Muppet Show, hosted in the second season of SNL, announcer for Fridays…the list goes on. Ugh. 2020 is a such a bummer so far. pic.twitter.com/OLbBtfYUfL
