Gary Shandling died unexpectedly in Los Angeles in a hospital and people were paying homage to this average stand up comedian. Gary Shandling got his biggest fame from a bad television program called the Gary Shandling program where he played a TV talk show host. the show was pretty lame and of very interest but provided this guy with some Emmy awards through this boring outlet and I guess I really just never got Gary Shandling. My recollection of this guy was mainly through his appearances on Johnny Carson's tonight show where he did stand up and was one of those guests that I found appeared too often and was an annoyance if you were a fan of the Tonight Show.
This guys act wasn't really funny or interesting. how his HBO program was listed at one of the top fifty programs all time is just insane and clearly was an attempt to get more people thinking to subscribe to the premium channels and thinking they were missing something if they didn't get the full cable package. clearly there were better comedians that should of been appearing on television or better actors who could of portrayed a TV talk show host than Gary. The Larry sanders show sucked and should never have gotten a shoe shine award let alone nomination for some fifty awards. Shandling had been complaining about leg pain and went into a hospital the day before he dropped dead and shows basically how hospitals can screw up even if you are some elite stand up media person like Gary. I mean I'm sure he didn't wind up at freebie county hospital and whatever care Gary got at this LA hospital he sure didn't get. maybe he stopped at an LA Fitness instead. Gary will not be doing any stand up nor television and movie appearances as Gary Shandling is dead at the age of 65.
