TMZ is reporting Gary Shandling's death. Other outlets have picked up their report, but so far it is unconfirmed.

Edit: Sadly, is definitely now confirmed. So far no listed cause of death, but with how sudden it was and reports of calls for a "medical emergency" I am guessing it was a heart attack.

Still remember most of the theme song to The Gary Shandling Show.

What? Really?

Well, nobody will confuse him with Jerry Seinfeld any more.

2016 is REALLY starting to suck for celebrity deaths.

Applesauce.

The Larry Sanders show was as important to teenage me when it came to comedy as Mr. Show and Kids in the Hall.

Massive loss.

66 is way too early.

Of course I am old enough to remember him standing in for Carson all those times.

Do any of the late night shows even bring stand up comedians on anymore?
