"Burns and Carlin at the Playboy Club Tonight" is the 1963 debut album by the comedy duo of Jack Burns and George Carlin. The album was actually recorded at a club named Cosmo Alley in Hollywood, California and not at the Playboy Club.

By the time of the album's release, Burns and Carlin had already split up amicably in 1962 to pursue separate endeavors. Burns teamed with Avery Schreiber and the duo were a successful comedy act until their breakup in 1974. Carlin continued to perform stand-up and record comedy albums until his death in 2008.

This album has been reissued twice. In 1972, it was released as "The Original George Carlin". In 1995, it was again released as "Killer Carlin".
