'The Larry Sanders Show' The satirical comedy about a neurotic talk show host and his gang of producers aired from 1992 to 1998. Throughout the years many notable celebrities - including Jerry Seinfeld and Billy Crystal - guest starred on the show as an exaggerated version on themselves, kinda like they do now on "Entourage."

Garry Shandling Then The comedian starred as talk show host Larry Sanders.

But the show reportedly killed off his character due to a 2010 arrest where the 80-year-old was charged with carrying a firearm while intoxicated. Oh yeah, while he was trying to break into a bank, which he thought was his house. (It was one of those "looks like a house" banks, in Torn's defense.)
