His two hit shows, \u003ci\u003eIt's Garry Shandling's Show \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eThe Larry Sanders Show, \u003c\/i\u003e broke new ground and influenced future sitcoms like \u003ci\u003e30 Rock\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eCurb Your Enthusiasm, \u003c\/i\u003e and his stand-up laid the foundation for a whole new generation of comics. There's no one better to tell Shandling's story than Judd Apatow--Shandling gave Apatow one of his first jobs and remained his mentor for the rest of his life--and the book expands on Apatow's Emmy Award-winning HBO documentary, \u003ci\u003eThe Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHere, Apatow has gathered journal entries, photographs, and essays for a close-up look at the artist who turned his gaze back onto the world of show business. Beyond his success, though, Shandling struggled with fame, the industry of art, and the childhood loss of his brother, which forever affected his personal and professional lives. His diaries show Shandling to be self-aware and insightful, revealing a deep philosophical and spiritual side. Contributions by comedians and other leading lights of the industry, as well as people who grew up with Shandling, along with never-before-seen pieces of scripts and brilliant jokes that he never performed, shed new light on every facet of his life and work. This book is the final word on the lasting impact of the great Garry Shandling.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Judd Apatow\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0525510842\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780525510840\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/12\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 472\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.50w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/30\/2019","brand":"Judd Apatow","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988181090559,"sku":"9780525510840","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a396c2fa-402a-4492-9f04-d50ccd5eaa6d.jpg?v=1683293069","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/its-garry-shandlings-book-judd-apatow-9780525510840","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
