Source: The Green Room with Paul Provenza S02E01
Guests: Judd Apatow, Bo Burnham, Marc Maron, Ray Romano, Garry Shandling
Original Air Date: July 14, 2011

[@HarryBalzak]

Was Stanhope ever on this show?

[@HarryBalzak]

He is! Season 2 episode 3

[@OscarGeronimo]

I love when people ask these kind of questions, the ones I know they're gonna find answers, cause I know someone would eventually tell them and they are going to enjoy so much the result. Yeah, it's nice to sometimes enjoy nice things like that. =]

[@Loonaticx]

Oscar Geronimo it really is dude. cheers!

[@MiguelGonzalez-yl5vf]

Harry Balzak Stanhope was and he got at Richard belzer to the extreme

[@4Everlast]

Both he and Atell, the dream team.

[@thebleaki]

Shandlings compliments to Bo Burnham had to have made him feel amazing.

[@jackflash8567]

RIP Garry Shandling. Hilarious man and also an underrated TV comedy innovator.

[@samsonian]

Seinfeld with impeccable timing lacking expectancy. Yes.

[@kieffergonzalez1311]

(1949 - 2016)

[@jondunmore4268]

Shandling was really pouring it ON that young guy, in a good way. Not ignoring him, including him in so many discussions and making examples of him, etc. that I'm sure that young guy must have been FLYING after this gig. "Garry Shandling spoke TO me and ABOUT me so much!" For a legend like Shandling to give him so much time - that must have been very heady for a young comic like him.

[@spacie89]

Nope, like the young comic joked... "who are you people?"

[@richarddweckcomedy]

+Spacie bo burnham is a stand up comedy nerd loves George carlin and Steve Martin

[@richarddweckcomedy]

Watch the young guy Bo's new Netflix special Make Happy. Bo is 10 years pro as a comedian. Bo like me is a comedy nerd, loves George carlin and Steve Martin. He was on Marc Maron's podcast who's in this clip

[@marklr5716]

yea he really seemed to like him and appeared to legitimately trying to give him advice...

[@richarddweckcomedy]

as an amateur stand up comic, that is amazing to me. I've been able to talk to some veteran comics and it's a good idea to pick their brain. Bo is 10 years as a comedian and he's not even gonna being doing stand up anymore(he had terrible stress from performing) but his specials are all something you should watch all his specials, his last two are on netflix. Words Words Words(2010), What(2013) and Make Happy(2016). In this episode Bo performed from Words Words Words " Art is Dead" which is about Bo's guilt as a successful performer, from What his song We Think We Know You tackles how other people view him and in Make Happy the song " Can't Handle This" is epic about his choice not to perform anymore. Now he's gonna be writing, he's talked about wanting to do musicals.

[@kareemtabsh]

I remember meeting Garry Shandling many years ago at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. I was just a kid and he just emanated that star quality. I asked him for his autograph and he was so kind and willing to do something nice for a fan. That’s what I remember about him.

[@SidLaw500]

Garry Shandling, one of the most effortlessly funny people ever.

[@stevebakker6884]

Thanx for posting this. RIP Gary. This video was a fine demonstration of the WIT of the man. He came up with a zinger for everything that came at him. And that ego stuff at the end. He nailed it. We should listen closely. When Gary refers to the struggle he had doing comedy (which can be a very ego based endeavor) while perusing his Buddhist path... I think he was successful in that struggle. Gary was always telling the truth about himself when he spoke. He was making fun of himself... of his fears and neurosis's ... he seemed to know that all his "baggage" was not who he was, so he could laugh at it... and let you laugh at it to. A very evolved human being, was he.

[@mellow5123]

Can't believe I missed this man while he was alive.

[@ianrosado758]

He had some amazing specials on HBO back in the 90s.

[@whereverigothereiam3078]

Comics are so brilliant and deep. I really appreciate this.

[@JohnNiemsMusic]

George Carlin taking the time to look at Garry's first hand jokes was incredible considering how much he wrote himself and how much he worked. I'm sure his constructive comments on Garry's work made Garry move forward as a comic in the most POSITIVE LIGHT!

[@DetroitAnalog]

The Green Room has GOT to be renewed. Make it happen... :0)

[@brbapappa]

That would a talk about being perceived as offensive and the influence of social media.

[@jacobjorgenson9285]

In todays PC culture? No chance ! See the one with Roxanne and Patrice O’niell?

[@kiltworm]

Wow. All comics are just philosophers man. Really perceptive ones.

[@perseusvlasov367]

And politicians comedians

[@ReneMarcouxJr]

fuck now i want a grilled cheese sandwich

[@melissamalcolm1399]

I didn't get that joke. Please someone explain

[@Droopsnooot]

imagine a grilled cheese sandwich, now imagine the cheese is too sticky to open the sandwich, now substitute the sandwich into a woman waking up in the morning

[@melissamalcolm1399]

Marcus Watkins ok but what does cheese mean in woman's case?

[@samsonian]

+Marcus Watkins Man, I wish I could go back in time to being as clueless as that...aka age 15-19. The epic trim chaos I could wreak with current knowledge base.....*sigh* guess I get to be content with 38. FUCK.

[@zedo0]

Simply brilliant. He is missed.

[@bjdee1437]

What a beautiful clip. Everyone's being real, and Garry is such an inspiration. Everyone was great, and showed respect and humanity. I loved this.

[@fredgardner2870]

gary was a great comedian

[@emeralddaughters]

Rest in peace Garry Shandling.

[@ilanspierer7496]

Patrice Oneal was also a great guest on this show RIP.

[@VenomousCarnage69]

R.I.P. Garry Shandling

[@Ratarue]

I’m sad that Garry is gone. The documentary about him moved me and was amazing. R.I.P.!

[@leos2976]

TO ME. THE GREATEST CLIP ON KZbin EVER. Straight up life affirmation. RIP GARY XOXOXOX

[@ladyspace6365]

Goddamn, Shandling was quick.

[@NoActuallyGo-KCUF-Yourself]

Every day, less and less is done, until finally, nothing can be accomplished.

[@TECHNOIR]

Great Show - Garry, I hope youe are well in the afterflife - it is an absolute joy to see this - didn't even recognise Marc Marron in this and have been listening to th e podcast for at least two years, anyway, peace Gary, you were a genuine genius

[@t87699]

Thank you, a man I've enjoyed and admired for many years

[@countrydj2]

Great footage. Poor Garrys face looks swollen. Wonder if he had been sick prior to this. Wish I would have been in this room surrounded by all these genius comedians.

[@windycitytoast]

RIP Garry Shandling.. such an amazing comedian and innovator.. It was really awesome of him to give genuine/honest comments to Bo Burnham about his routine/appearance/ect.. that really goes along way for someone young who is trying to figure things out for themselves..

[@OklahomaSwagMaster]

Thanks for the rips

[@Dax893]

Ron Jeremy, on the kid's right shoulder 7:06. Talk about the devil on your side.

[@shaggycan]

There is a certain class of comedian that we don't see a lot of all the time that more popular comedians go to for inspiration. Shandling was one of them. (Martin Short and Don Rickles are others)

[@SourMoonBlues]

RIP Gary Shandling

[@HotStrange]

SourMoonBlues I feel happy that he was enlightened before his passing. He seemed so content which is a hard thing to do in life.

[@craighicksartwork]

Shandling was an exceptionally gifted human being.

[@RawKnee1111]

Thank you .... that is wonderful. God Bless Gary's soul.

[@O_Towne_Bear]

Gary was so sharp. Miss him.

[@brianmorrison6863]

Wonderful! Thanks!

[@NicNewson]

R.I.P. Shandling.

[@alhlapov1734]

Pure genius and humble man

[@jsheekey1]

Gary was just the BEST 💔

[@paulthoresen8241]

Thought Marc Maron was Hank Azaria the whole time

[@whiteyweissmann8487]

Thank you for putting these up. I don't think Garry Shandling killed it rather than washing over some really interesting questions asked with only his own philosophy and commonplaces. Did not see the full episode but that's what I am gathering from this.

[@justinedwin7698]

I think perhaps he knew his time was near.

[@Nate-im3sg]

He answered to the best of his ability regarding his philosophy without sounding like a blowhard.

[@whiteyweissmann8487]

Not here to piss on the guy but the praise I see devoted to him at least does not seem to be placed correctly on the attempt he made here. I am happy to be enlightened though.

[@josecarbia8181]

You're happy to be enlightened? How? Why?

[@GIFFLIX]

Loved shandling.... sad to have seen him Pass

[@pcm9969]

I always thought Gary Shandling was funny, but I've watched him a few times recently and realized just how hilarious he was. This video really shows some of his inner self. And he is still hilarious!

[@JIANYM36]

Garry said it. wish people gets it. wish someone could spread the message where everyone would follow

[@LaLeeRu]

RIP Garry Shandling. You are deeply missed!

[@outofthenorm7292]

Shandlings first tonight show appearance was the best

[@brooklynman558]

I will miss Garry very much.

[@criscrouton2553]

God, Shandling really was the funniest guy. I'm so glad Norm's praise of him led me to videos like these.

[@davidellis8349]

Terrific.

[@semitar6]

Gary was such a gem...

[@StudioMod]

Off the cuff, the bit about birds falling out of the sky simply because they're "not that great at flying" is possibly the funniest thing ever. And I've seen it all honestly. Literally I've seen it all. I just love it. Along with Lewis Black's classic Red, White, and Screwed joke about North Korea being not just black and white in pictures but also just in general because of how evil they are, this is right up there.

[@CaptainCologne]

I love Garry.

[@irollerblade13]

RIP Garry Shandling

[@zigarettenbruch6999]

Fuck... Miss you Garry.

[@timothyoneil5447]

Shandling's words and meaning resonate. Perhaps the answer, or an answer, lies in silence and consideration. Perhaps the attempt to shed ego and the identity of self provides some clarity, or at the very least, peace...

[@kekster11]

Imagine the great Garry Shandling in the same room with Ron Jeremy, sounds like a great set up for a joke he would kill.

[@13lood13ath]

13:34 - Wise words.

[@Massacre430]

There are so many beautiful things in this video, Shandling having a genuine connection, appreciation and dare I say love for what Bo's type of comedy is to Maron leaning in extremely intensely at 13:50 to fully absorb the knowledge that he is fully aware he is about receive. This is wonderful

[@freddyp30012x]

I never knew Garry was so sharp and funny

[@Nate-im3sg]

He always was. You just didn't catch it.

[@Rikman56]

Old guy behind Romano and Maron looks like Leonard Cohen

[@Bootrosgali]

The Ron Jeremy background aged well

[@revlayle]

The "that's a dead end" comment always kills me

[@ericsnell3040]

Nice edit. Much better than other's I've seen. Showcased Shandling better.

[@keerthanseralathan4954]

hey what was that joke about bob Dylan and Nicholson

[@poobum9857]

Ray !!

[@votejello]

13:08 - What happens to Maron when someone else owns the room

[@informutation]

You can literally see the moment when he comes up with the one liner that follows.

[@HENJAM48]

RIP Garry...

[@shanhussain6114]

I learned of Gary Shandling from Iron Man 2

[@suziemills2201]

Garry Genius

[@chrism82793]

Well guess Garry saw what we would all experienced with Bo... Wow congrats Bo

[@danielmenjivar793]

That grilled cheese joke got me fucked up.

[@rupeoverlay3153]

RIP

[@smokefree08]

Ron Jeremy lurking in the shadows.

[@djsvideodiarys]

Thought that was Jimmy Kimmel with a beard next to the Roast guy lookalike. RIP. Such an endearing and drawing individual and now he's gone. Interesting for us youngsters.

[@Seeattle]

I spy Ron Jeremy in the background

[@baileyfrancisco6179]

damn i gotta get that shirt judd is wearing

[@cjpatz]

I wish I could be this deep, this funny, but I gotta be authentic at all cost, then maybe I'll find it maybe hoping I always was..

[@evanmoore4852]

Shandling was SO god damned clever and as a result equally funny. I would have loved to hear his comedy on the current events of 2017. I really think he could have made fun of every side with objective and intellectual humor. This guy cracked me up. I tried, three times, to watch Marc Maron's new stand up special on Netflix and I couldn't do it. I swear there is a standard price for Trump jokes, regardless of originality. If I could make a few thousand bucks for reciting what I hear on IG comments as my own comedic rants I would do it in a heart beat. Glad to know that fucks like Maron are in the same financial boat as me.

[@kingoftheseamusic]

Shandling tells the George Carlin story here, Marc Maron is present, interestingly he tells the same story on the WTF podcast but switches Carlin for Carson. Wonder if he was fucking with Maron, because Maron didnt even seem to notice.

[@tomdiggaz]

Deep chat

[@pac401]

This was brilliant. What channel was this show on?

[@pac401]

Thanks!

[@Gold753]

I tried setting myself on fire. Would not recommend.

[@qmby7823]

Ron Jeremy in the audience?!

[@etothemajor]

Shandling kills

[@josiahgold]

Yep

[@tomschelfaut]

The kid talking about Hans Teeuwen, you can't get his genius unless you're a Dutch speaker... He did some standup in English, which is probably what this kid saw, and it just wasn't the same...

[@jackjackthompson5771]

Ron jeremy in the background.. 🤔

[@johnmcdonald1237]

Thought that was hank azaria for 5 mins

[@PFfreddy42]

What does Garry mean when he says he struggles to not have that happen?

[@waynedurning8717]

Ron Jeremy sitting there in the audience lol. Uhh… whoever that is.

[@KidFresh71]

In his recent comedy special "Inside," Bo Burnam seems to pay homage to Gary Shandling's brilliant closing quote: "Um, can anyone... shut the fuck up? Can... can anyone... any, anyone, any one, any single one, can anyone... shut the fuck up about anything-- about any... any single thing?"

[@sizzlechestmcmurphy4365]

3:25 is that Ron Jeremy?

[@leighlambert5024]

Aww, so here too Maron has to interrupt someone just as they get on a roll explaining something that might mean something...

[@Matty_G]

Lou Donaldson Midnight Creeper

[@DVS1USMC]

Ron Jeremy! @ 2:35

[@Colicab83]

Starting at 11:02 you can see a guy pick his head, sniff said finger, and then stick it in his mouth.

[@HylianTicipated]

What's worse is that it was probably his fuckin' ear :'(

[@rupeoverlay3153]

He gets heckled in other episodes

[@artrpacman6283]

Ron Jeremy at 7:24

[@ZEZERBING]

ron germy

[@kieffergonzalez1311]

Verne 🐢

[@webfox1]

I love Shandling, and have for many years, but he looks like he should stop eating peanuts.

[@webfox1]

Awww... Every time you got something wrong your Dad kicked you. Sucks to be you. Actually I never said he was alive... just a hint, bitch.

[@hugopoyoyo9886]

+Reginald Cornwallace (ScottSteiner) lol? yea lol

[@derickwheatley3941]

so much botox. soooo much botox.

[@Munedawg]

He had a thyroid condition. Part of the symptoms is a bloated face.

[@carmelosala]

Munedawg to your point, he looked as if he may have had Greys disease.

[@tmurphy07]

@11:10 this is so funny

[@VAHZGEN]

R.I.P. Gary. Too bad a lot of people that watch this video are gonna say a positive comment or two, then a couple minutes later click on another youtube video like a bunch of sheep, and forget your message....

[@adh0522]

where the fuch they find a live audience?

[@spike200080]

fuck! it's hydra

[@halfeatenpizza11]

i wish this show wasnt so fucking heavily edited bo asked garry some really good questions and just seem to cut off midway through the answers after a punchline
