In this clip from 2004, comedian and AFF awardee Garry Shandling talks about working with the late great Rip Torn.

[@kaiserdooder]

Garry shandling was a genius for taking the risk with rip torn. Between torn, Tambor, and shandling…what a trio.

[@USAReject]

so true, they’re perfect together

[@bigmoose99]

Did Hank ever release his workout video?

[@neuvocastezero1838]

I know the field is deep, but Rip Torn as Arthur is probably the greatest comedic role in any show, ever.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

There’s certainly been nobody SINCE that’s measured up.

[@Astianax27]

The show would not have been what it was without Rip Torn

[@leroyoneill1929]

Rip was so unreal in this show. Nobody could have played Auther like this. Rest well gents. 😢

[@bigmoose99]

Maybe Kramer? Mark Corrigan from Peep Show?

[@jamesanthony5681]

He was great. And Shandling respected great acting which is why he went after Torn for the part.

[@javierz_sight479]

Rip Torn was the anchor of the show, there is a mango,kiwi and papaya tray waiting for you in the green room.

[@js2010ish]

Hahaha 🥭

[@robzara4172]

Very good, sir!!!! I could almost hear Artie saying that himself!!!

R.I.P Rip Torn
R.I.P Garry Shandling

[@dyates6380]

One of my favorite shows ever. Both of them were priceless.

[@gavinduggan199]

All of 3 of them!

[@richardwood1575]

He was an acting genius . You all were, a fantastic show, brilliantly cast and written. Rip guys and thank you for all the laughter.

[@jaykapolka6111]

This just shows how brilliant Garry was. "I know he had personal issues and that interested me" 😆. He wanted somebody who was fucked up. A lot of people would try to avoid working with somebody with a reputation like Rip's but he was magnetized to it LOL

[@michaeldoliveira720]

Rip Torn took lines that would normally come off as egotistical and arrogant and made them endearing and funny.

[@hankkingsley2976]

Hey now

[@gavinduggan199]

Rip Torn is genius in the Larry Sanders show. Each time I watch, he blows me away

[@jamalselesi182]

R.I.P. Garry Shandling And Rip Torn

[@alexwastakenwastaken]

I'm glad that the Bad Word was censored, as you never know how many 12 year olds are watching videos about Rip Torn to get a feel for the people behind their favourite show.

[@bustersales6921]

...? What’re you talking about...?

[@cgriesemer]

@@bustersales6921 I think he's being sarcastic...

[@danaetorn6115]

🤣🤣🤣

[@JCO2002]

Both passed away, unfortunately.

[@leroyoneill1929]

So sad. Very very funny men.

[@IsaacBeImont]

Defending Your Life is a very underrated film.

[@ThrottleAddiction]

Wouldn't have worked with someone like Tim Conway

[@aldouriel6357]

Garry Shandling Thank You

[@evelynmontez3565]

He was amazing. I keep watching and laughing
😂😂😂

[@javierz_sight479]

Me too, I got the Larry Sanders box set, just finished watching it for the 4th time, it never gets old.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

I love the idea that Gary is the first person to see what Artie was gonna be like on the show.
Like you’d know in 4 seconds it was gonna be the best supporting character in comedy history.

[@nicholasdruce5346]

R.I.P Both

[@billpholde4816]

I wonder what it says on Rip Torn's grave stone? Rip Torn, or RIP?

[@bigmoose99]

Show still holds up to this day

[@walkertongdee]

Interesting Gary was dead when he made this how clever Gary died in 2016 rip in 2019...

[@ceedubya4634]

You're a genius.

[@DrHouse2004]

He died too
