HBO television sitcom about Larry Sanders, a talk-show host. This show goes 'behind-the-scenes' to reveal Larry's humorous interactions with the producers and guests. Written by Tad Dibbern <>mscf.upenn.edu>

The Larry Sanders Show Garry Shandling is Larry Sanders in this iconic showbiz comedy about a fictional late night talk show host and his dysfunctional staff. “Brutally and blatantly hilarious.”

Larry Sanders (Garry Shandling) is a neurotic late-night talk show host flanked by Artie (Rip Torn), his caustic, foul-mouthed producer, and Hey Now Hank Kingsley (Jeffrey Tambor), his hopelessly insecure, ethically inept sidekick.

Critics Consensus: The naturalistic deadpan comedy of The Larry Sanders Show is just as hilariously misanthropic as ever -- and warmth still lurks at the heart of its edgy execution.

The show is about the goings-on behind and in front of the camera of a late night talk show, where Larry Sanders is a competitor of David Letterman, Jay Leno, and the late night bunch. Garry Shandling plays Larry as a funnily neurotic genius narcissist who lives in the bubble of fame and money created by network television stardom.
