In the third episode of It’s The Larry Sanders Show’s Show, Jason and Max continue their history lectures with a rundown of Rip Torn's career before he became Artie. Then they chat with Jo Firestone, who worked on late-night talk shows while pursuing stand-up in the New York alternative comedy world. Finally, they break down The Spiders Episode and its anti-comedy scene-by-scene and disagree on whether it’s the best episode of the season. It's sure to get tense!
