An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder is the second Kevin Smith Q&A DVD. The footage is taken from Kevin's Q&As at Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto and the Criterion Theatre in London and was released on November 28, 2006. The subtitle is a humorous reference to Die Hard 2: Die Harder. Smith would later play a supporting role in Live Free or Die Hard.
An Evening with Kevin Smith is a DVD featuring Question and Answer sessions that the writer and filmmaker Kevin Smith held with his fans at various American colleges.

I haven't seen this since it first aired. Jim Carrey was still the white guy from In Living Color, and I thought he was funny so I tuned in. It turned out that In Living Color only allowed a small glimpse into his talent. I have never laughed harder at a stand-up comedy routine before or since. Whenever I find myself frustrated with a Jim Carrey movie, I only have to think back to this TV special to remind myself of the wealth of his talent.
After achieving fame with Saturday Night Live and Beverly Hills Cop, Eddie Murphy released a film version of one of his live stand-up performances. He mainly focuses on the topics of divorce and relations between the sexes, but also goes into some of the problems he's encountered because of fame, including offended listeners and fans who continually greet him with his unprintable catch phrases.
Carlin brings some great comedy here. In the form of not only stand-up, but also in animation and a skit at the beginning. He performs some classics, like a place for your stuff, have a nice day, and the sports chant. Great entertainment all around, considering this is the earliest Carlin special that's on video (the others I saw on tv).
Killin' Them Softly, what I consider to be Dave Chappelle's non-cinematic breakthrough (the cinematic could be with Half Baked), was a very potent mix of comedy, dealing with some celebrity jokes and great humor involving the hood (the 'baby' bit is classic).
Dave Chappelle returns to D.C. and riffs on politics, police, race relations, drugs, Sesame Street and more.
It's Bad for Ya really showcases more of George Carlin's talents. He really is still as sharp as a tack. It is a shame that we lost him this past year, but his comedy will forever live on. This stand-up special is literally one of the funniest I have ever heard a comedian perform.
This album was recorded May 2-3, 1986 at the Beverly Theater, and was released on July 30, 1986 on the Atlantic label as Carlin's fifth HBO stand-up concert special. Carlin's not resting on his laurels here, presenting an abundance of new, politically incorrect material while expanding a few older routines.
Legendary comic Carlin comes back to the Beacon theater to angrily rant about airport security, germs, cigars, angels, children and parents, men, names, religion, god, advertising, Bill Jeff and minorities.
Irish-American comedian George Carlin's first ever HBO special, recorded during the Summer of 1977 at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. This unique taping lasted 85 minutes, and, at age 40, marked a new era in Carlin's career. He explained to the audience that before this special came about, that he never did a show for home consumption or reproduction.
One of comedian Richard Pryor's live performances (at the Sunset Strip, obviously) caught on film. Pryor talks about most of his standard subjects, including rascism and the differences between blacks and whites, along with talking about some of his recent film roles.
This is why Dennis Leary rules.
