In a very personal tribute in memory of the recently passed away Garry Shandling, Conan O’Brien pointed out why Garry was amazing outside of just being one of the comedy greats.

Shandling not only had done panel with Conan over the years, but Garry also offered counsel and emotional support to O’Brien in the days following the unfortunate end of hosting The Tonight Show. Conan told the story in detail on last night’s episode of his show.

Undoubtedly, this is only one in many stories to come of why Shandling was, is, and will be revered in the world of comedy and beyond.
