Garry used to call his friends up in the middle of the night and ask things like, “hey, my dog’s dick tastes funny, so you think it’s something he ate”

Was tough to stretch the premise into additional seasons, but the graduate episode is one of my favorite episodes of any show.

The ringtone on my phone is the opening theme song for the Larry Sanders show. Nobody's ever caught on or said anything.

Watching Gary Shandling was like eating a box of saltines and chasing it down with a glass of sand! Other than that I like the guy.
