Welcome to the premiere episode of It’s the Larry Sanders Show’s Show! Your hosts Jason and Max explain why two non-famous people who aren’t even obsessive fans of Larry Sanders are hosting a watchalong podcast about it. They give a history lesson about Garry Shandling and then speak with Kevin Nealon, longtime friend of Garry. Kevin talks about his memories of Garry, his guest appearances on the show, and how Garry’s success on The Tonight Show prepared Kevin for his own nerve wracking first appearance. Then Jason and Max break down The Garden Weasel scene by scene pointing out all the little details you might’ve missed like what the guests on the show-within-the-show were most likely promoting or the corporate satire behind “the garage door opener people” joke. Finally they sum up their opinions of The Garden Weasel by giving it a new title (as if it didn’t already have enough alternate titles). Enjoy Shandheads as we break down every episode of The Larry Sanders Show!
Kevin Nealon is a comedian, actor, and host of Hiking With Kevin. His book I Exaggerate: My Brushes with Fame will be published in October.
