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.

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.

watching this on netflix recently. love where hank tries to kiss larry to thank him for buying (or betting on?) a racehorse, larry cringes saying "i don't give a fuck about a horse, i have a car."

if you guys want to seeing something really weird and uncomfortable watch the interview of gary shandling by ricky gervais on youtube

has anyone here ever read the Larry Sanders autobiography and if so -- is it worth reading?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 19 July 2011 00:29 (twelve years ago) link
Utterly brilliant: Hank at the end of the Eric Bogosian episode, where he believes that Bogosian's character (Stan, Larry's old partner in a comedy duo) is dead, even though Stan's suicide attempt was in fact botched.
"He's not dead, he's in the hospital.""I don't think so.""Larry's talking to him on the phone!""Well, that remains to be seen."
― dave kohl (sic), Tuesday, 19 July 2011 02:23 (twelve years ago) link
its written in character and it ain't all that great, mordy: typical subpar comedy book.

not sure if this is mentioned upthread, but if yr english, and you buy the region 2 release to save a bit of cash over getting the import, be aware that you'll be missing out on all the extra gubbins. i didn't know this, and am pretty bummed about it tbh.

watched the last episode last night - superlol at Hanks' final diatribe/meltdown post-show, so awesome.

Somewhere upthread I said I thought it was great, but would have been even better if he hadn't come back for the mushy stuff.
― clemenza, Monday, 26 September 2011 17:11 (twelve years ago) link
But isn't it very Hank, that whole scene? I don't like it as much with just the venom or just the mushy stuff, need both halves.
― Jouster, Tuesday, 27 September 2011 04:50 (twelve years ago) link
surprised this show didn't ever get more love on ILX although obvs it was all over by the time ILX began.
still so great

I think there's been a lot of discussion in a lot of disparate threads. Maybe my favorite show ever, definitely top three.

Larry's agent is played by Bob Odenkirk aka Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad

Odenkirk has been criminally under-employed ever since, but hopefully that will be changing soon.
