Jeremy Piven also was a regular for the first two seasons.

The series also was a launching pad for the careers of younger actor-comedians such as Janeane Garofalo, Wallace Langham, Bob Odenkirk, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and others. Depicting late-night talk as a cesspool of ego, betrayal and unchecked ambition, the mock behind-the-scenes comedy featured Shandling as Sanders, along with Jeffrey Tambor as his sidekick “Hey Now” Hank Kingsley and Rip Torn as Arthur, the show’s producer. That program was HBO’s The Larry Sanders Show, a satirical look at the world of late-night talk shows drawn loosely from his own experiences as guest host on The Tonight Show. The show also aired as part the Fox Television Network’s Sunday night lineup from 1988-90, introducing Shandling to a wider audience that laid the groundwork for his successful follow-up show. Notable for breaking of the fourth wall, Shandling and his co-stars frequently interacted with the audience, called attention to the set and budgetary limitations and often made the audience part of episode storylines. The groundbreaking series was a surreal, postmodernist parody of the sitcom genre starring Shandling as an exaggerated version of himself who knew that he was a character on a television show.
In 1986, he co-created It’s Garry Shandling’s Show with Alan Zweibel for Showtime.
