On-air HBO promos for the live broadcast on April 25, 1992, referred to the program as George Carlin: Live at the Paramount. Before the opening credits, the words "This show is for SAM" appear, a reference to comedian Sam Kinison, who had died in a car crash two weeks before the recording.
The album won the 1993 Grammy Award for Best Spoken Comedy Album. Carlin considered Jammin' in New York his favorite and best HBO special.
