Garry Shandling
Garry Shandling dies

Comedian Garry Shandling, who parlayed his “Sanford and Son” screenwriting talents into three Emmys for his “Larry Sanders Show” on HBO, died Thursday. He was 66.

In its six seasons, "The Larry Sanders Show" won two Peabody Awards and was hailed by TV Guide as one of the 50 greatest shows of all time.

He launched “Garry Shandling” in 1985 with former "Saturday Night Live" writer Alan Zweibel.
