I mean, he got cut from some of the skits because he was just not well enough to perform in those, apparently.

Although in all fairness the movie depicts almost half the cast being on drugs right before showtime

He may have been. He definitely had periods where he was smoking and periods where he wasn't
According to Saturday Night, George Carlin was heavily stoned while hosting the first SNL.

Would have never guessed from watching his performance.

That's awesome, must have been a lot of fun!

My life is over.
For what it's worth I find you very entertaining. And if by "super user" you mean someone who floods the forums with thread after thread and posts seemingly nonstop then I think you're describing a glorified troll. On the plus side these kinds of posters don't last long.
I'm in New Jersey.
On purpose.
Woo hoo!

Because if there is, I have some questions.
