Garry Shandling Dies at 66

Comedian, actor, writer and producer Garry Shandling, known for “It’s Garry Shandling’s Show” and “The Larry Sanders Show,” died Thursday, the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed. He was 66.

A spokesman for the LAPD said they received a 911 call from Shandling’s home on Thursday, saying the comedian suffered from a “medical emergency.” He later died at an L.A. hospital.

Shandling wasn’t known to be suffering from any illnesses, and just a few days ago retweeted Kathy Griffin’s photo of himself, her and Bob Odenkirk.

8. He is indeed.

And I'd bet he'd laugh at your posts here himself.

If he weren't dead (twice).

Garry would have liked that one.

2. I read that he had a massive heart attack, called 911 himself, but collapsed while on the phone -

.....
The “Larry Sanders Show” creator-star, who died Thursday morning at 66 from an apparent heart attack, had just told a doctor pal — whom he'd consulted a day earlier about aches and shortness of breath — that he was still experiencing symptoms, sources told TMZ.

Per the doc's advice, Shandling was poised to go to a hospital after their 10 a.m. conversation. He ended up phoning 911 himself, the site reported, but collapsed in the middle of the call.

A limo service car was already waiting outside the comic's house when emergency workers arrived at 10:45 a.m., according to the gossip site.

7. No

This is the only thread which has been posted to alert us to the fact that the OP just heard this.

It happens.

I found out in another Shandling thread that Joe Garagiola had died, and I didn't even think he was still alive! So I was glad to hear he was still alive, but sad that he was dead.
