The autobiography that Carlin had nearly completed before he died, "Last Words" chronicles the late comedian's illustrious career and includes commentary from Carlin's fellow comedian, Hendra.
Tony Hendra was once described by The Independent of London as "one of the most brilliant comic talents of the post-war period." He began his comedic career with Graham Chapman of Monty Python, appeared six times on the Ed Sullivan Show, was one of the original editors of National Lampoon, edited the classic parody Not The New York Times, starred in This Is Spinal Tap, and co-created and co-produced the long-running British satirical series Spitting Image for which he was nominated for a British Academy Award. He has written or edited dozens of books, most of them satirical, with the exception of two New York Times bestsellers: Brotherhood (2001) and Father Joe (2004). He is a senior member of the Board of the nation-wide story-telling community, The Moth.
