It’s rare that you get such an in depth look not only into the mind of a comedian, but a deeper look into a being who simultaneously was one of the most beloved comedians of all time and sincerely pondering the meaning of it all and our connection to each other and the universe.

That’s only possible because the late Garry Shandling kept plenty of notes and diaries for several years and Judd Apatow, a disciple of sorts of Shandling’s, wanted to make a documentary about him.

Here’s Apatow giving a bit of a taste of the doc on Conan.

With that in mind, you can catch the world premiere of The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling tonight and tomorrow on HBO at 8PM.

Here’s the Trailer for Judd Apatow’s HBO Documentary “The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling”

One of the first really big gigs that Judd Apatow got was coming aboard The Larry Sanders Show. As such, Garry Shandling played a significant role in his life beyond just being a big time fixture in comedy to admire from afar.

The passing of Shandling came and went quickly, without very much warning, but Garry’s life and career are something to marvel at.

To show people how marvelous it really was, he made an in-depth documentary featuring personal journals, video, etc. coupled with conversations with those closest to Shandling.

The result is The Zen Diaries of Garry Shandling. You can get a taste of how deep Apatow goes with this trailer.

Look for the premiere on Mon., March 26 at 8PM on HBO.
