SNL, HBO honoring Carlin
Saturday Night Live is paying tribute to George Carlin by re-airing the 1975 premiere episode of SNL.
It will air at 11:30 p.m. Saturday on NBC. It originally aired on Oct. 11, 1975.
HBO also is honoring the comedian, who died Sunday of heart failure, by airing encore specials of more than 30 years of his comedy shows starting this week. He began giving performances on HBO as far back as 1977.
Sister network HBO2 will show 11 of his specials over two nights.
