Gary Shandling was a national treasure.

I never saw this episode when it aired.. Garry Shandling was a huge talent-very sad he’s gone. The Larry Sanders Show was pure genius. RIP. Garry Shandling.

It holds up too. I just rewatched. Still terrific

It is a delight to see how capable Mr. Shandling was of making Dave laugh, and to see how much he seemed to enjoy doing it.

Was just reading Judd's book 'It's Garry Shandling's Book' and noticed this clock on page 1 sitting on Garry's shelf along with his most prized awards from his career. Still set on 1:07 PM.

Maybe 1:07 AM, I believe it would be set to 'show time' on set (12:30 am - 1:29 am) not tape time

Hey, isn't this a souvenir of Shandling's resolve to do + keep doing 'Larry Sanders'? - He was offered the Letterman type gigs and turned them down as Sanders was a hit by its first year of 6. Maybe he took the clock as a symbol of stopping time on the easy gig?

alas, poor Garry...'we hardly knew ye'...one of the really original, genuine comedic talents, & Larry Sanders is & will alway be 1 of TV's greatest. RIP..Gone too soon.

Two legends. Miss you Gary

I remember watching this when it originally aired. This was a great show and highlights how terrificly exciting Late Night Television truly was during this era.

This was a great episode and segment when Dave was well on his way to becoming a King. Garry too. Thanks for sharing.

love how garry side-eyed dave's performance on his show.

I remember watching this episode. And now seeing part of it replayed on the Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling bring back wonderful memories.

That winning grin is so endearing.

Thank you so much for posting this Mr. Giller! Seriously I was a comedy nerd and was close to knowing it. Was already a big Dave fan, loved IGGSS and had seen a few L Sanders shows and was bt freshman and sophomore years of college when this aired. I had the whole Letterman episode on VHS but somehow lost it over the years.

Remembered the clock thing, and have heard since then that NBC wanted the late brilliant Garry Shandling and Dana Carvey for the spot. Thankfully they both turned it down (and David Brenner's name never came up) and the world is all the better for the foresight of Lorne Michaels and his insistence of Conan O'Brien being the right man for the job.

RIP. A true comedy genius.

surreal watching this after a few larry sanders episodes. thanks don.

Garry one of the few comedians that would speak his mind 👍,RIP 🙏

It’s Garry Shandling’s Show was a masterpiece of television.

Garry concluded his human experience far too soon. He is missed.

The Garry Shandling show was a breakthrough, but not without the help of 'Buffalo Bill' starring Dabney Coleman.

There's some truth to that, but "Fernwood Tonight" and even "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" were also predecessors.

It’s gonna be awkward, because I’ll be somehow involved with their channel, though nothing to do with clip selections. But thanks!

I had no idea Shandling was up for Dave's replacement. I missed that somehow. It would have been a great idea. Dave and then Garry. Shandling was really funny and a good interviewer as he demonstrated on the Tonight show. Carvey wasn't a bad choice either but Shandling for sure. Too bad we never got to see that happen. Such a shame what happened. One very likeable guy. A good friend of Tom Petty's whom he sadly died within months of by chance. Great video of both at Tom Petty's home a few years prior. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iX2qsMduZpy3aco.html

Yeah, everybody was very confident for YEARS leading up to that, that Garry would soon host a nightly network show. Garry pulled the most Garry move possible, and said well what if I get HBO to let me have full control over a show about a nightly network show.

I wonder where the clock is now?

Was this Garry's only appearance on LN/LS? If not, I'd love to see a collection!

Kimmel,Fallon,Colbert....it's all garbage. They turned entertainment into political garbage. I miss Carson, and Letterman. True entertainment is gone.
