<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>This work expands on Apatow's brilliant HBO documentary, <i>The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling<i>, which won the 2018 Emmy Award for Best Documentary.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From Judd Apatow comes an intimate portrait of his mentor, the legendary stand-up comic and star of <i>The Larry Sanders Show, </i> with never-before-seen journal entries and photos, as well as new contributions by fellow comedians and writers.<br></b><br><b>NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY <i>NEW YORK</i></b> <p/> Garry Shandling was a singular trailblazer in the comedy world. His two hit shows, <i>It's Garry Shandling's Show </i>and <i>The Larry Sanders Show, </i> broke new ground and influenced future sitcoms like <i>30 Rock</i> and <i>Curb Your Enthusiasm, </i> 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, <i>The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling</i>. <p/>Here, 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Judd Apatow </b>is one of the most important comic minds of his generation.
