George Carlin
This would be a really surprising fact, but before establishing himself as a super lucrative standup comedian, George Carlin served in the US Air Force. The reason might tear you up, but it was because he wanted to earn some extra cash to help pay the fees at his broadcasting school.
George’s posting was in Bossier City, Louisiana’s Barksdale Air Force Base as a radar technician. Although he never found himself on the battlefield, Carlin always made sure he contributed as much as he can from different positions. Thank you, sir, for the service and for making us laugh as well.
