Exclamation Comedian George Carlin Enters Rehab Program

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Comedian George Carlin, who became a counter-culture hero in the 1970s with routines about drugs and dirty words, said on Monday he was voluntarily entering a drug and alcohol treatment program.

"I'm going into rehab because I use too much wine and Vicodin," Carlin, 67, whose latest book "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops?" is a current national bestseller, said in a statement. "No one told me I needed this; I recognized the problem and took the step myself."

Classic Carlin...

"I love NyQuil, man... I love it! I love it, I love it, I love it!... it's the best sh*t ever invented, isn't it, huh? I love the name alone... NyQuil! Capital N, small Y, big f*ckin Q!!!"

I'm glad he's addressing the problem and taking care of it.

George Carlin is a comic genius and one of my favorites. I'm glad he is trying to get help.

What always makes me smile is the fact that George Carlin is the narrator for Thomas the Tank Engine! (especially when my little 3 year nephew is watching it on TV).

Alec Baldwin narrates it too, but that is another tale for another time!
