Did George Carlin think up the plot of hunger games?

That was one of his best, as he got a little more irate with the audience. But, the transcript of it is online, so why don't you post a fricking excerpt explaining what you're talking about?

This is my idea for one of those big outdoor summer festivals. This is called “slug-fest.” This is for men only. Here’s what you do… you get about 100,000 of these fricking men; you know the ones I mean, these macho motherfrickers, yeah, these strutting, preening, posturing, hairy, sweaty, alpha-male jackoffs… the muscle assholes. You take about 100,000 of these disgusting pricks and you throw them in a big dirt arena, big 25-acre dirt arena and you just let them beat the shite out of each other for 24 hours nonstop, no food, no water, just whiskey and PCP! And you just let them punch and pound and kick the shite out of each other until only one guy is left standing, then you take that guy and you put him on a pedestal and you shoot him in the fricking head! Yeah. Then you put the whole thing on TV. Budweiser would jump at that shite in half a minute… and guys would volunteer, guys would line up, all you gotta do is promise them a small appliance of some kind. Men will do anything, just give them something that plugs in the wall and makes a whirring noise.

yeah, that's not really like the Hunger Games

YAAD is the one in which he started to go off the deep end with his loss of faith in humanity. It still has great humor but you can really hear the new contempt in his voice.
His last one was just a grumpy old man rant. Then, he died.

Nope...You are All Diseased was released in May 1999.

Stephen King wrote The Long Walk in 1979 and The Running Man in 1982.

koushun Takam wrote Battle Royale in April 1999.

The Hunger Games takes a bit of each.
