If DQs are still being accepted: sitcom last aired before 1990? ---

My sitcom did not last air before 1990 Since we’re past noon central and no more IQs will be accepted, I’m going to throw out a significant hint: Hints 12, 13, and 14 above, taken together, kind of led everyone astray. It got everyone thinking “_Someone famous for TV!_” – but the real lynchpin here is “_Best known for comedy_”. I am someone that is, indeed, known from movies – but not BEST known from movies though I have had some memorable cameo-ish roles. As Hint 13 says, I am _ **best known** _ from comedy. And yes … I did lead in a sitcom at one point. But that sitcom was really a footnote in my career. ---

Yes, indeed – **I am George Carlin!** I’m a little relieved that someone got it – I thought I may have inadvertently flubbed the answers to the DQs somehow.
