Garry Shandling News

According to Deadline, a group of Shandling's friends have decided to reactivate his Twitter account to share passages from the diaries that inspired the documentary.

When Shandling passed away in 2016, he was widely remembered as a top stand-up comic and the star of two of the most innovative sitcoms in TV history. But to those who knew him, the “real” Garry Shandling was a far more complex person. Now, Apatow has created a remarkable portrait of this iconic comedian in the four-and-a-half-hour documentary THE ZEN DIARIES OF GARRY SHANDLING, which debuts in two parts MONDAY, MARCH 26 (8:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) and TUESDAY, MARCH 27 (8:00-10:30 p.m. ET/PT), exclusively on HBO.

Brooks, Jim Carrey, Sacha Baron Cohen, David Coulier, Jon Favreau, Jay Leno, Kevin Nealon, Conan O'Brien, Bob Saget, Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Silverman. The film, directed by Judd Apatow, debuts on HBO March 26th and 27th.
