Show Summary

  • Ended
Comic Garry Shandling draws upon his own talk show experiences to create the character of Larry Sanders, a paranoid, insecure host of a late-night talk show. Larry, along with his obsequious television sidekick Hank Kingsley and his fiercely protective producer Artie, allows Garry Shandling and his talented writers to look behind the scenes and to show us a convincing slice of behind-the-camera life.''''Emmy Awards Nominations''Outstanding Comedy Series''1993''1994''1995''1996''1997''1998''''Outstanding Lead Actor In A Comedy Series''1993 - Garry Shandling''1995 - Garry Shandling''1996 - Garry Shandling''1997 - Garry Shandling''1998 - Garry Shandling''''Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Comedy Series''1993 - Rip Torn''1993 - Jeffrey Tambor''1994 - Rip Torn''1995 - Rip Torn''1996 - Rip Torn (winner)''1996 - Jeffrey Tambor''1997 - Jeffrey Tambor''1997 - Rip Torn''1998 - Jeffrey Tambor''1998 - Rip Torn''''Outstanding Supporting Actress For A Comedy Series''1996 - Janeane Garofalo''''Outstanding Supporting Actress In A Comedy Series''1997 - Janeane Garofalo''''Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series''1993 - Dana Carvey''1997 - David Duchovny''''Outstanding Guest Actor For A Comedy Series''1996 - Mandy Patinkin''''Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series''1993 - Carol Burnett''1997 - Ellen Degeneres''''Outstanding Guest Actress For A Comedy Series''1996 - Rosie O'Donnell''''Outstanding Individual Achievement In Writing In A Comedy Series''1993 - Garry Shandling, Rosie Shuster, Paul Simms, Peter Tolan''1993 - Dennis Klein, Garry Shandling''1994 - Maya Forbes, Victor Levin, Drake Sather, Garry Shandling, Paul Simms''1995 - Peter Tolan''1995 - Peter Tolan, Garry Shandling''''Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series''1996 - Jon Vitti''1996 - Maya Forbes, Steve Levitan, Garry Shandling''1996 - Peter Tolan''1997 - Peter Tolan''1997 - Jon Vitti''1997 - Judd Apatow, John Markus, Garry Shandling''1998 - Garry Shandling, Peter Tolan (winner)''1998 - Richard Day, Alex Gregory, Peter Huyck''''Outstanding Individual Achievement In Directing In A Comedy Series''1994 - Todd Holland''1995 - Todd Holland''''Outstanding Directing For A Comedy Series''1996 - Michael Lehmann''1996 - Todd Holland''1997 - Todd Holland''1997 - Alan Myerson''1998 - Todd Holland (winner)''''Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Series Or A Special''1997 - John Bickelhaupt, Ed Golya, Edward L.
