at one point networks were talking about hiring him to actually host one of the late night shows (I believe NBC was trying to get him for the late night show and when they couldn't they went with Conan instead).
it was the Tonight Show, and he turned it down to do Larry Sanders for HBO

they tried to get him to do late night again after larry sanders show was already running (it's discussed in the Conan biography part of the War for Late Night)

another great swearing hank moment is when he's trying to impress wu-tang with his parking tickets, stomping his foot; "fucking cops man!"

Those are exactly like larry sanders!!!

watched the first ep of season 4 today, tambor just KILLS it after his car gets egged
― ban drake (the rapper) (max), Wednesday, 20 April 2011 21:35 (thirteen years ago) link
Isn't that the episode that starts with everybody sitting around a TV watching the O.J. trial, with Phil later using the egging to make a point about O.J.'s guilt? As I mentioned upthread, that's my favorite opening of any episode in the entire run. It's so atypically grim.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 20 April 2011 21:52 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, and roseanne is booked on the show and larry freaks out

btw my fav hank moment is when he gets engaged to a younger woman to everyone's confusion, and the punchline is when Artie meets her dad and he looks exactly like hank
― cum dude (Princess TamTam), Monday, 9 May 2011 16:36 (twelve years ago) link
so many amazing moments, love the episode where hank and larry end up dancing zonked on anti-depressants
"there's a place...I go to, when times are dark Larry..."
"the top drawer of my office desk?"
"yes two of the large yellow pills, with scotch"

I'm pretty sure there won't be anymore til Shandling's dead.

I lol every time at the recurring joke of Hank saying a bunch of dumb shit (inevitably ending with something like "I'm not stupid, y'know") and Artie responding "I don't agree with a single thing you just said"

I've never seen any of this show. I think I should probably change that esp since it's avail on netflix.

You know what I keep thinking about as I watch it? How badly Shandling messed up his face. He was in something last year (Iron Man 2 maybe) and he looked awful. Like really bad plastic surgery. NAGL at all. RIP Shandling's real face.

It doesn't even look that bad in this pic but it was really awful in action.

He said on Twitter the other day it's from laser eye surgery and denied he'd had any other work done.

hmmmmmmmm
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Tuesday, 17 May 2011 10:53 (twelve years ago) link
yeah he looks terrible but i guess it's kinda in character to have work done
― sonderangerbot, Tuesday, 17 May 2011 11:00 (twelve years ago) link
Hopefully he got some ass lipo for complete verisimilitude.

my first look at Garry's new face was in the extras for the It's The Garry Shandling Show and dude has clearly had some bad botox/collagen or something. it was alarming at first sight.

when i was growing up i went to a family doctor who bore an uncanny resemblance to gary shandling both in looks and mannerisms. it was weird. he was really cool. though. he had the bedside manner down to a t so that for example he would be sticking that weird thing in your ear but it would be totally chill.

shandling is so painful to watch/listen to in interviews
― Serial Chiller (sunny successor), Saturday, 21 May 2011 08:35 (twelve years ago) link
haha i think that maybe the reason this show worked so well is bcuz of how believable it was that the actor was really like that irl
― D-40, Saturday, 21 May 2011 22:13 (twelve years ago) link
Rip Torn too. You can believe in the multiple failed marriages, romances with Angie Dickinson etc.
― Number None, Saturday, 21 May 2011 22:53 (twelve years ago) link
Oh man if Shandling is painful to listen to in interviews (can't remember ever seeing/hearing one) then the Maron ep should be extra awkward.
― \(^o\) (/o^)/ (ENBB), Sunday, 22 May 2011 00:22 (twelve years ago) link
man, the episode where larry's gf tries to use him to get on the show, and then goes out w/network vp roger bingham is so intense! when artie walks in on their date and threatens him, it's like something out of the godfather

Maladroit! Great highlight reel, but they cut off one of Artie's greatest lines ever around the 1:00 mark: "Hank, some of the things you do are...not quite right."

For those of you who haven't yet, you really need to listen to the WTF podcast episode with the Garry Shandling interview. It made me love him even more.
