Bill Maher’s eulogy for Garry Shandling

Bill Maher's eulogy for Garry ShandlingWith both the Garry Shandling Show and the Larry Sanders Show, Garry Shandling helped confuse celebrity satire with celebrity reality, which is a far far better thing that he has done, than plain old celebrity reality shows.

I watched a reality show once many years ago – most of the first season of Survivor – when it was over I questioned why I would want to waste my time watching regular people stab each other in the back for money? Which it seems all reality shows are about. Hey I see enough back stabbing in real life to need more of it. It’s why I never made it past page 17 of Ulysses, I can hear that crap at home.

Hey, keeping in step with the Republican celebration of political incorrectness [bigotry, sexism, homophobia and racism] I just wanted to add some food for thought.  Twice as many women watch reality tv shows than men, so watch your back guys.

I can well understand men who are losing their hair falling to bald and buzz cuts rather than combovers, but doing the same when it seems hair loss is not the problem makes both Jerry Seinfeld and Garry Shandling look like jerks.
