It was Garry Shandling’s birthday the other day. He would have been 73. Comedy fans have the same reverence for Shandling’s The Larry Sanders Show that cinephiles have for Citizen Kane. It was probably the greatest ever - and a north star for so much of what came after it. That’s why, when Shandling passed away in 2016, the best comedians in the world turned out to mourn him. Adam Sandler sung a song, Jeffrey Tambour performed a sketch, Judd Apatow organized the event, and Sarah Silverman, Conan O'Brien, Jimmy Kimmel, Albert Brooks, Billy Crystal and so many other legends paid their respects.
Beautiful story.
Excellent
