Gary Shandling aka Larry Sanders.  I think his TV show was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

It's all a bit bonkers.

There was an interesting section on More Or Less last week about celebrity deaths :-

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b076prgl

It suggests that this level of loss of celebrities will become more normal over time. We're getting to a point in time where we have an increasing population of "celebrities" who are reaching the age where mortality rates increase dramatically. The change in music industry/film industry/TV in the 1960s meant we saw a raft of people in their 20s getting famous - those people are now in their 70s, so little surprise we're seeing this starting to happen.

It doesn't change the fact that some great names have been lost.
