GARRY SHANDLING booking - Comedians - Corporate Entertainment Booking

Garry Shandling, was born and raised in Tucson, Arizona. After earning a degree in marketing at the University of Arizona, Shandling head out to Los Angeles in search of the comedy circuit. He soon made a real name for himself as a highly regarded writer for such renowned 1970's sitcoms as "Sanford and Son" and "Welcome Back, Kotter."

In 1975, seeking to expand his comedic voice, Shandling made his stand-up debut at The Comedy Store in Los Angeles. In the comedy club scene, he happened to spark the interest of Joan Rivers, who brought him to the attention of Johnny Carson and in 1981, Shandling made his first appearance on "The Tonight Show," going on to serve as the show's guest host on numerous occasions.

From 1986 to 1990, in addition to frequent appearances on "The Tonight Show," Garry Shandling was the star and executive producer of the CableACE Award-winning series "It's Garry Shandling's Show" and served as host of the Grammy Awards in 1990 and 1991.

Garry Shandling credits his experience of filling in for Johnny Carson as the genesis of THE LARRY SANDERS SHOW. "When I was hosting the 'The Tonight Show' I got an intimate look at how talk shows work backstage," Shandling says. "I realized that this was a world no one had really explored yet. I wanted to take an honest look at the very wide difference between the way a talk-show host acts on the air and what he or she is truly like."

According to Shandling, Larry Sanders is "a character trying to find the balance between what his life is and how he is supposed to be on television."

Although SANDERS was his first series for HBO, Garry Shandling is no stranger to the network, having previously been seen on HBO in "Comic Relief III," 1991's "HBO Comedy Hour: Garry Shandling: Stand-Up" and "Comic Relief V."

His sophisticated HBO lampoon, of the late-night world's on-air posturing and behind-the-scenes chaos lead to massive critical acclaim.
