George Carl was my uncle (my Dad's brother). He used to stop by and stay at our house in Mineral Ridge, Ohio to visit my father and also his mother who lived next door many years ago in the 1960s. He always had funny stories to tell from his travels and experiences. One visit he gave me the big thumb his used in his act. I played with it so much that I destroyed it. I wish I had taken care of it, but I was only 8 or 9 years old at the time.

Back in the early-mid 1990s he still appeared for a month every second to third year in the Copenhagen Tivoli Gardens. He performed an extended 10-12 minute version as part of the open-air stage shows every night - and it was always a big hit with the crowds. Sadly, I don't think there are any videos of the long version, as the Tivoli Gardens strictly enforced the 'no filming' policy.

I saw this when it first aired. Been looking for it for a long time, but I didn't remember his name. Another video of his just came up in my recommendations, I recognized him as the same guy, and searched his name. Found this! Thank you so much.

I will never forget this night. I came home from a Boston concert, with my sister and brother in law. We were so stoned out. My sister turned the TV on and this dude just happened to start his bit. We still talk about how hard we laughed at this, especially the drums/dancing, in the beginning, LOLOLOL

I just saw him on a Carson show rerun - a different performance. So he was understandably worthy of a return. The most entertaining comedic, object manipulators are those who appear to be losing it. George Carl is a master. Thank you for making his work available.

The first time I saw this man (back in the late 60s I think) I was helpless with laughter, barely able to breathe. I've just done a repeat performance watching this video. The guy is so clever the way he can get tangled up in everything from his own braces to the mic and sometimes his own assistant. I mustn't watch this too much or I'll die laughing!
