Between 1992 and 1998, over
six seasons and 90 episodes, The
Larry Sanders Show chronicled
the backstage drama surround-
ing its titular late night talk show,
delivering some of the best satire

NJ STAGE - ISSUE 59
by Eric Hillis
late Garry Shandling’s signature
show? Well, how about the strug-
gles of a woman in the male domi-
nated world of late night Ameri-
can comedy? Enter Tina Fey in
2006 with 30 Rock, which couldn’t

quent seven seasons but was the
funniest show on TV at its height.
