Gary Shandling passed away.

Wow. I guess he wasn't ill.

He was a comic genius.

Didn't realize he was a UofA alum from Tucson

Born in Chicago, he was raised in Tucson, Ariz., and started out majoring in electrical engineering before completing a marketing degree at the University of Arizona. After moving to Los Angeles, he sold a script for “Sanford and Son” and also wrote for “Welcome Back, Kotter.” He guest-hosted on “The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson” and was in consideration to become Carson’s replacement.

Gary Shandling passed away from apparent sudden and massive cardiac arrest. I wasn't a huge huge fan but I thought he was funny in some stuff he did. I liked his standup more.

RIP Garry. Very funny guy. He was a big UofA basketball fan. He would attend games at McKale when he was visiting family in the 80's and 90's.

one of the funniest dudes EVER. Always way ahead of the curve with comedy first with The Gary Shandling Show and then The Larry Sanders Show.

That theme for the Garry Shandling show was one of the catchiest tunes ever.

Such a bummer. RIP

Too soon, I used to enjoy his show years ago.

one of the funniest dudes EVER. Always way ahead of the curve with comedy first with The Gary Shandling Show and then The Larry Sanders Show.

Both shows were very, very funny. Jeez, show biz is just being hammered this week.
