So glad he did this. Garry seems honest, humble, vulnerable and smart and I love his self deprecating humor. Sheepishly says "I was on a football scholarship" while nervously looking around. Sad he is gone, but so happy he was here for a while. Nice that he and George Carlin had a connection too. Life is too short damn it.
I met him once and he was exactly the same as he was on his show. I love his "overly concerned" personality trait. I also met one of his writers from Larry Sanders show. Larry surrounded himself with the best of the best in the industry. His humility was so charming. The way he hesitates to deliver his answers, combined with insecurities in sharing his feelings is so attractive.
So glad he sat for this long interview with apparently not much filter. Great questions too by the interviewer. He comes across as just what we would want him too. A regular guy. An extremely talented regular guy.
Love Garry. I know that he died of a heart attack, and his doctor wasn't concerned enough to get him to the hospital when he reported being short of breath the night before he died. I hear him here, having some breathing problems.

Interesting fella. I can't figure if he's bored and slightly annoyed by the interview going on or if he just is this very chilled, slow type of person.
How is it possible that Garry Shandling performed a bit from Albert Brooks in 7th, 8th, or 9th grade, when Garry was born in 1949 and Albert was born in '47 ? Albert Brooks would have been in the 11th grade...so at MOST 18 years old and at least 16. His first comedy album came out in '73, meaning he had to have been 25 or 26. Someone please explain...
