Hbo Quote by Jay Mohr

“[George Carlin] was obsessive about time; he was obsessive compulsive…” quote by Jay Mohr — Download Open image

“[George Carlin] was obsessive about time; he was obsessive compulsive about his material and making things shorter and more perfect. He did an HBO hour every other year. It's live; you have to be off-stage at 55 minutes. It's a network; you've got to be off. And it's perfect.”
