Jeffrey Tambor played the sidekick to a fictional Larry Sanders in this take on late night television talk shows. Inspired by the Letterman/Leno controversy in the early nineties and the Arsenio Hall show hit, this series is done without a laugh track and features numerous notable guest stars like Dana Delaney, Peter Falk, Mimi Rogers, David Spade, Kathy Kinney, and others before they were famous. Garry Shandling knew how to poke fun at himself and show business and life in Los Angeles, California. He is surrounded by an excellent supporting cast like Jeffery Tambor, Jeremy Piven, and the unforgettable Rip Torn. His wife is played by Megan Gallagher and the booking manager is played by Jeaneane Garofalo at the peak of her success. The series was first shown on HBO which allowed use of unsuitable language. Twenty four years later on DVD, I can't believe that I missed out on it back then. I didn't have HBO and the Larry Sanders Show was getting noticed by critics and fans alike. At best, it is a witty and funny show about the late night television wars.
