Thank you for sharing this. I've never seen this before, and it's got to be one of the funniest stand up acts ever. He is so young looking here. Garry Shandling was such a fantastic comedian and his HBO show was one of the best television shows ever. He is sorely missed.
Watched this as a college student in the late 80s ??.....me and a buddy almost ruptured our spleens laughing at this show.....one of the funniest 45 min I've ever seen.....
He was a brilliant comedian. He also wore beautiful clothes. Only my opinion, but I think it shows respect for the audience when an entertainer dresses himself/herself well.
Thanks for sharing this, hadn't seen in forever. I had a VHS copy that I recorded when it first aired on Showtime, wore it out! Loved everything Garry did...we lost him way too soon.
A shame not more views...their loss! Reminds me, having moved to an area with a large Dutch population, when we'd go to a restaurant we'd give them the name Vandermuellendykenlandergraff. So when they would call our name everyone in the waiting area would get up....! Inspired by Mr. Shandling.
Hey, Official GS People...for years, I've been looking for clips from the old late 70's Make Me Laugh show with Garry. In particular, the one where he repeats a joke he did about hospital intercom systems and how you could never understand what they were saying. They could be saying..."Dr. Yaki...Dr. Terry Yaki!" He would repeat it with other names. Anybody have it?! Thanks...
the sheik/arab prince arriving is only slightly exaggerated . Dozens of bellmen and room service people would line up as he arrived or left in the hallway (the entire hallway of the entire top floor of the interconti that floor covered with priceless Persian rugs, flown in a separate private jet from Saudi so his highness' Halal feet would not have to touch any infidel floors) he'd hand out hundred euro notes to every staff member.Think about that and Chevron CEO's salary and shareholders dividends as you fill your tank. Money to burn.Yours.
I really really miss Garry Shandling.
For Garry to come up with the luggage carousel as a roulette wheel is pure genius 😂😂😂😂
God Bless Beautiful 🕊️ 🙏🏻 ❤xxxx

Vegas in the eighties. A different world altogether.
A gem from another time; that intro might looks long now, but Gary was a real genius

I liked Gary since I was a little kid. There's something comforting about him

I own this on VHS. I wish there was a DVD or Blu-Ray release. Thanks for the official TH-cam video, though.
As a kid I watched this a zillion times. I could recite the Stand up. Still quote it.
What a workout. What an act is really like. The intelligence to keep it all there....And then to make the huge leap to his Larry Sanders show.
RIP on the 5th anniversary of your passing. Your fans miss and love you.
This is so freaking awesome. I just found out about the Larry Sanders show and everything Garry is about. He is the best!
i used to watch this all the time, Pleasure" and The Slammer are the best
One of the most sympathetic comics. a true friend
I love this channel ! Thanks for more Gary memories. Please keep them coming !

Love this guy alot!!
What a *GENIUS* intro !
His show was absolutely amazing. He created a whole new genre.
back in 80s cities seemed so big and impressive now they feel sanitized
Rare genuinely unique funny ❤
He's funny.
Only 5 comments? This was priceless! "Pump the professor? Owww! Even Patty wouldn't pump the professor!
10 !
I lived in Toronto for four years. Sarah Silverman is wonderful playing a certain type of Torontonian.
What does that have to do w Garry, or this special?

“Dr. Pudding. Dr. - Chocolate - Pudding.” 😅
This reminds me of the comedian part in scar face. I wonder if they based that section of the movie off of Gary
genius
I love the 1980’s.
What year is from? It’s great.
Pump the professor!
Is that ZZ Top on the sound track?
