On June 18, 2008, four days before his death, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC announced that Carlin would be the 2008 honoree of the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, which was awarded on November 10, 2008. Carlin thus became the award's first posthumous recipient, a decision the Kennedy Center made after consulting with both Carlin's family and PBS (which aired the ceremony).^Source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

I'd just like to say the explanation to my dumb comment can be found below.Don't thumbs up it any more, it was silly and impulsive, I didn't read the description right.

It was announced 4 days before his death, this was filmed in the November after his death.

Well first of all, read the description..."On June 18, 2008, four days before his death, the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, DC announced that Carlin would be the 2008 honoree...which was awarded on November 10, 2008. Carlin thus became the award's first posthumous recipient." This information is also readily available on Wikipedia and from other news sources.

Where are you getting this info from?

He was dead at the time. This was shot in November, he died in June. They announced that he would be winning this right before he died, but the ceremony took place afterwards.
