Garry Shandling, the influential stand-up comedian and star of "The Larry Sanders Show," has died. He was 66.
TMZ was the first to report the news on Thursday afternoon, writing that Shandling was rushed to a Los Angeles area hospital earlier that day, where he later died. The comedian was reportedly in good health, and his death appears to be sudden, though no cause was immediately available.
Shandling broke new comedy ground with his 1980s series "It's Garry Shandling's Show," which frequently broke the fourth wall and inspired the irreverent style of other, later series, including "Seinfeld" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." He followed that up with another influential comedy, "The Larry Sanders Show," which spoofed the late-night talk show format, and earned him much critical acclaim, including multiple Emmy nominations for acting, and one win for writing.
His recent film appearances include roles in "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Iron Man 2," as well as cameos in movies including "The Dictator," "Funny People," and "Zoolander." He also headlined a string of successful stand-up specials for HBO and Showtime, and for a time was Johnny Carson's permanent guest host on "The Tonight Show" in the late 1980s.
