Garry is pure genius. One of the funniest and most brilliant comedians to grace the stage! The Larry Sanders Show was the most brilliant show on TV.

Seinfeld isn't that funny.

Rest up Garry and Rip Torn 2 legends we got so lucky to see together

Oh man. THAT was an unexpected surprise. I'm roaming around, looking for a quick video to watch before I get back to my chores, and I see this. "Oh cool! I can do this AND the dishes." Yeah, no. HAD to sit down and watch it-watch it. The dishes started to complain and I told them to shut up or I'd replace them. (Works every time.) THANKS, Daniel, for having this and posting it. It always feels good to laugh.

One of the greats... he had such a funny mind, and a unique delivery. Johnny Carson once said truly funny people are naturals... born that way... with the ability to see the humor in things and communicate that perspective to others. That was Gary Shandling. R.I.P.

Wow, this was 32 years ago! I still find it so sad that Gary Shandling is gone, he was so funny!!

You either understood Gary or you didn't. I got it and I'm forever grateful for the laughs. Godspeed Gary!

I lived in Vegas for almost a decade when Gary did several shows and he NEVER disappointed.He will be missed by all of us who truly love comedy and his brand of self effscing humor mixed with self admiring jokes at the same time.He was just awesome and I never felt like I didn't have a great time and he got me through some tough dates

That ending with the dog made me cry a little. Gary really was an amazing person that seemed as heartfelt as he was funny. We always seem to lose the best ones way earlier than we should.

Thinking of him on what would have been his 71st birthday . He is my favorite comedian of all time. Miss his genius. Such a funny man. ❤️

Omg He was a fantastic comic and a beautiful person.

One of the Best Stand ups of his generation

I loved the theme song from The Gary Shandling show, always made me giggle

He says he doesn't know what he'll do next, and then he goes and tops everything else he had done to that point with "The Larry Sanders Show."

Just Loved Garry RIP Sweet Man

Thanks for sharing this. It's been too long and I really appreciate it! Gary was something special. I'll be laughing all day for this one. Thanks and rest well Gary!

Pure comic genius! An incredible artist!

An hour of absolutely timeless material. Amazing.

He was so exposed and knew how to turn every part of his enormous sensitivity into humor. I'm sometimes amazed at how much the Jews have contributed to American comedy in general, and Larry Sanders on his show was just ahead of everything we see today in the comedy field.

Man, i appreciate him now! I thought as a teen. What a dry square. Now i’m laughing out loud and appreciating this!!

So glad I watched his show thanks to my dad Garry is the man then and now

I met him a few times. In 1978-79 I was a bar-back at a comedy club (Giggles) south of Toledo. I met Garry, Bill Kirchenbauer, Mike Binder, Bill Maher, and Carlin. I drove them to and from the club in my Chevy Malibu to their rooms at motels and condos. Time of your life kid!

Two guys I always wanted to meet: Shandling and Larry David, creators of my two favorite shows ever.

This is pure gold

Growing up, watching plenty of network TV, I developed an affinity for standup comedy performers (The Standup Golden Age: Woody Allen, Rich Pryor, G. Carlin, David Brenner, Joan Rivers, David Steinberg, Robert Klien, Henny Youngman, Dangerfield, Dick Shawn,, Bill Hicks, , . Gary came along and moved in immediately to the top of my list of favorites and stayed there until his untimely, way too soon demise. I watched and laughed EVERY time this man performed on TV. Always fresh material. He could do NO wrong. Larry Sanders was as original and classic as Curb Your Enthusiasm. Miss you Gary!

Thank you🌺

Yes. I'm sorry I never knew him in person, as a friend. I'm glad you came to us, just a brilliant person. God speed, Garry.

He was always funny, but he got so much better as he aged. I saw him twice in the nineties. Great stuff as Johnny would say.

So happy I found this,,, Garry was amazing, always good material, but his delivery and relatability is rarely matched.

I love that he had his doggie there... so sweet 🥰

What a great show! I loved that guy.

Ahhhaaa!! Thats the guy whose name Ive been trying yo remember for 20 years! Thank you!

Garry was so ahead of his times , he was such a great stand up

An inspiration to so many comedians

What a natural. Loved his standup and Larry Sanders as well. Gone way too young. Shep was lucky to have met him.

Never breaks his stride, amazing!

The thing that makes Gerry so wonderful (besides the jokes!) was he was perpetually worried.

Thank you! I've been looking for this for ages

Im 30 but this is better than any comedy nowadays

Garry one of the best to ever do it. Effortless and brilliant.

I remember watching this when it first aired. I always recall the L.A. cops joke whenever the Rodney King incident comes up. Also, to this day,, I still use that joke about every rental car is a four wheel drive...

I see "Garry Shandling," I upvote.

I’ve never seen a comedian take questions before. Fearless!

Yes! And while he could anticipate being asked his age, he had a good Garry Shandling line that he was 41 and life begins at 20. Seamless and so relaxed.

Beyond brilliant

Gary, you were a class act. Gosh the audience giving it UP in this clip says it all.

The coolest thing about these old videos is the chance to reassess comedians from back in the day. Back then I never thought Shandling was funny. Then I grew out of my self-important hipster phase, and boy was I mistaken.

That part with the cop winking is one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Simply a very funny guy . Rip great one.

Wow! I’ve never laughed soooo much! Truly a genius comic and genuinely nice guy.

Thank you for sharing this.

Miss you Gary

Great dog ..Shep..or Sheppy .... Superstar comedian Gary Shandling.......

GARY WAS THE BEST! And very unique!!

Thanks for this post!

With some comics you just stand in awe. Garry was one. This brother died too young.

I keep waiting for Hank to say 'Hey now'.

Brilliant, thanks for this great explainer

Beautiful person...

SUCH a smart and uniquely funny man. I watched him in an interview and his answers to the questions seemed oblique but I realized he was seeing more deeply into the question and its ramifications. A terrrific mock-TV show with several fine actors involved.

Wow. This guy is amazing.

Riotously funny throughout and wonderfully poignant at the end. If you love animals, you'll probably feel the same way.

Best show closer EVER.................RIP Gary....and Shep....

He is more then a comic.......he is a story teller. An art that is being lost in a world of fast moving rapid fire one liners. People today are not willing to invest their time and wait for the stories to develop into a laugh festiable.

That was great, GOD WE MISS GARY!!!

For sme reason I thought he had passed pretty recently but it was back in 2016. Anyway, I've been re-watching a lot of his work, and listening to other entertainers reminisce. He is hilarious, but at the same time you can tell he's just the nicest guy. --And that's exactly what people like Conan O'Brien, Leno, Letterman, etc all say about him. Do a search of Conan O'Brien talking about his friendship with Gary. Rest in peace, Mr. Shandling, you left way too soon.

I loved how he found humor in his insecurities and self loathing. He was Larry Sanders.

We can definitely see where Jerry Seinfeld and other popular comedians got their inspiration; what a guy! Friggin legendary!!!

is still kinda hard to believe he’s gone…The Larry Sanders Show was one of the best things ever on television…pure genius

What a great storyteller.

Such great focus, timing, and wit.

Fare Thee Well, Garry Shandling, RIP ❤️

He really was a funny guy

I've never seen this performance before, and I actually thought " it would be funny if he had a sheep dog come out at the end of the show to tie into that whole story about him in Hawaii "...and, sure enough..... shows how brilliant he was.....I wished I could have seen him do one of his specials .... Heaven has a lot of talent up there now...

Can’t believe this was never released on dvd.

This is approximately the time I saw him & Dennis Miller in west Broward County. Gary was headlining & they fit very well together as a comic split. What a great comic, shows & the openness on the DVDS closing out TLSS-✓

One of my all-time favorite comedy specials on KZread. Anybody have any other gems to recommend? (Not just by Shandling, but anyone?)

what a way to start 😂

This guy is so funny!

So clever!!!

His show on HBO in the 90s was fantasic, the Larry Sanders show with Rip Torn

I have some ideas, .... but can't really specify why I like him so much. Great guy.

I love the President Bush story.

FYI: There is a joke post-credits that's great. If you could post that, it's funny! Thanks for this!

I even liked his movie which bombed, What Planet Are You From?(2001)

Excellent

My favorite bit is on the J Carson show when he said he had to tell his dog to 'get off the couch'.

Garry's is the Funniest Man!!!!!!!

God I miss him.

First time Ive listened to him…..he really is funny……….

At one point in the mid 80's Garry seemed to be primed to eventually take over the Tonight Show when Carson retired. Too bad that didn't play out.

The end is genius on so many levels. Who in the world ends their HBO comedy special with 5 minutes of unscripted audience questions. Fearless.

No flipping!!!!
