Kelly Marie Carlin (born June 15, 1963) is an American radio host, actress, screenwriter, and producer.
[4] She began her career in entertainment as a production assistant and photographer for two of her father's early HBO specials: George Carlin: Again!
[5] In 2001, she earned a master's degree in Jungian depth psychology and expressed an interest in becoming a therapist, but later returned to stage performing.
She also began interviewing legendary comedians in the "On Comedy" CD series for Marshall Berle's Laugh.com, of which her father was one of the founding partners.
In 2024, following the release of an unauthorized comedy special called I'm Glad I'm Dead that featured an audio deepfake of her father's voice reading a purportedly AI-generated script, Carlin tweeted, "My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination.
"[7] Carlin issued a lawsuit against the video's creators, in response to which a spokesperson for one of the team behind it said that the script had been written by a human author, Chad Kultgen, rather than an AI.
