garry shandling

It’s the ultimate behind-the-scenes comedy and it’s the show that launched HBO into the stratosphere. What is it we love about shows that pull back the curtain on show business? The Larry Sanders Show with creator Garry Shandling along with the incredible cast that  included Jeffrey Tambor, Rip Torn, Wallace Langham, and others did it better than everyone else, seamlessly mixing cutting jokes with effortless charm. Every famous star lined up to be a guest on the fictional talk show, from Robin Williams to Drew Barrymore to Jeff Goldblum. Check out hosts Emily and James chatting all things Sanders. No flipping!
