to shut the f*** up?

Didn't you see

what he was wearing?

This is entrapment!

You know, if this

gets out all anyone

is going to remember

about the show

is this lawsuit bullshit.

Oh, and 10 years

of laughter.

Marker.

Hey, I saw that tape

of Hank, man.

That guy's got quite

a hog on him, huh?

Guy's cock is huge.

You know, I feel

kind of inadequate,

you know?

I mean, what with

his huge cock

- and all there.

- You look really good, Hank.

Very centered.

Life must be good, huh?

I'm drunk.

Actually,

my life is sh*t.

Well, it can't be

that bad.

I mean,

I... I just heard

that you were coming out

with some kind of a tape--

an exercise tape.

- Congratulations.

- What is that, a joke?

What, are you

trying to be funny?

You know, you can't

just bang a jukebox

and go,

( elongating ) "Hey!"

And all your problems

disappear, Fonzie.

- It worked for me.

- Ah, go f*** yourself.

- ( audience cheering )

- Female reporter: Each week

viewers go

behind the scenes

of the fictional talk show

"The Larry Sanders Show."

A show where

art imitates life,

and life imitates art.

People who have worked

on talk shows

will go, "Wow, that's

exactly what it's like,"

and the average person

who's never been backstage

of a talk show

will go, "I wonder

if that's really what

it's like?"

We're doing an episode

where Larry's negotiating

his contract--

'cause his contract is up,

and what will he do

and where will he go,

so I think we're gonna play

with that a little bit.

Female reporter:

The character Darlene,

played by actress

Linda Doucett--

Shandling's

real-life steady--

poses for "Playboy"

on the show

and Doucett does it

in real life.

Sacha Baron Cohen:

So, in England

"Seinfeld" was on BBC One--

the mainstream channel.

- Hank?

- Jer.

Cohen:

"Sanders" was on BBC Two

and it was kind of

a smaller niche audience.

But my friends

completely adored that show,

and that was the perfect show.

Good morning, ladies.

Cohen:
I'm not sure Ricky

Gervais would agree with this,

but I think "The Office"

is definitely influenced by it.

- Can I talk to you a second?

- Yeah.

Cohen:

It is an office.

It just happens to be

the back office

of a TV show.

Where are your pants?

I flushed them

down the toilet

with the rest

of tonight's show.

Al Jean:

That was the dawn

of what they call

"The Golden Age of TV."

"Larry Sanders"

was the first one I remember

having that

sort of reputation.

Hey, look at Larry

the big, fat a**hole.

- Whoo!

- ( applause )

Judd Apatow:

I know that the head

of HBO said that

"Larry Sanders" showed them

what they should be.

He said that

that's what defined HBO.

"Oh, we should go after
