Just after his 1969 appearance on the Jackie Gleason show, Carlin caught the attention of the FBI because he made jokes about then-FBI chief J. Edgar Hoover. According to the government, Carlin had “referred to the Bureau and the Director in a satirical vein.”

I haven't been able to track this back to a reliable source, but it is circulating around the web. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if it's true. Considering J. Edgar Hoover was FBI Chief at the time it would be par for the course.
