[edit] Season One (August-November 1992) | Title | Writer(s) | Director | Original Airdate | Production Code | # | | The Garden Weasel | Peter Tolan | Ken Kwapis | August 15, 1992 | 104 | 1 | | Larry feels uncomfortable when the network asks him to do live commercials for "The Garden Weasel" on the show. Larry and his wife Jeannie ask a dog trainer to correct the behavior of their dog, when she discovers that the dog is a highly trained film dog, and refuses to retrain it. Larry accuses the network executive Melanie Parrish of sleeping with Sheldon, and she punches him. Larry ends up refusing to do advertising segments, and Artie tells Melanie Parrish that he killed a man like her in Korea. Robert Hays guests. | | The Promise | Joe Toplyn | Ken Kwapis | August 22, 1992 | 105 | 2 | | Larry feels betrayed when David Spade guests on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno the same week he's set to appear on The Larry Sanders Show, without telling Larry. Hank's fan club visits the set. David Spade apologizes to Larry, and Larry says he can do the show a few weeks later, after the issue has died down. Then Joe Pesci cancels at the last minute and Larry is forced to ask David Spade to do the show, and he performs the exact same set he performed on The Tonight Show. Dana Delaney, William Shatner, and David Spade guest. | | The Spider Episode | Garry Shandling, Rosie Schuster, Paul Simms & Peter Tolan | Ken Kwapis | August 29, 1992 | 106 | 3 | | Larry worries about an upcoming segment on the show where he would have to allow a live tarantula to crawl from his hand up to his head, as he is afraid of spiders. Jeannie complains that he is only willing to confront his fears in front of millions of people in order to get some laughs. Larry rehearses a Tarzan and Jane sketch with Carol Burnett - she later tells him that she could see his balls whilst he was in his Tarzan outfit. Larry gets Artie to tell Hank to do the spider sketch, and Hank accepts, but refuses during the show, after seeing the spiders and hearing that they are poisonous. During the show, Larry finally agrees to allow one tarantula crawl up his arm, but panics halfway through and sends it flying upwards into the lights, knocking over the boxes containing several other tarantulas. One ends up landing on Hank's head. The ensuing clip with the spiders and Carol jumping onto Larry's back is subsequently featured prominently in the opening sequence of the The Larry Sanders Show. Carol Burnett, Steve Duchesne, and Jon Lovitz guest. | | Guest Host | Garry Shandling & Paul Simms | Todd Holland | September 5, 1992 | 109 | 4 | | Dana Carvey guest hosts whilst Larry goes on vacation. Hank questions Artie as to why he can't guest host, and auditions in front of Sheldon. Hank is predictably not good enough to replace Dana Carvey. Larry feels threatened after Carvey's first night, and the next day Larry's network tells him that CBS has offered Carvey his own late-night talk show, against The Larry Sanders Show. Larry allows Carvey to host for one more night, and then returns from vacation to ask Carvey what he plans to do. Carvey says he is not going to take the deal at CBS, as he is going to take the deal at NBC. Dana Carvey and Herve Villechaize guest. | | The New Producer | Dick Blasucci, Paul Simms, Howard Gewirtz & Chris Thompson | Todd Holland | September 12, 1992 | 111 | 5 | | The episode begins with Larry sending get-well-soon wishes to Artie during the show, as he is away recovering from an emergency appendectomy. Larry then introduces the stand-in producer, his good friend Jonathan Litman, and brings him on screen. Artie, who is watching from home, remarks that not once in six years did Larry ever invite him up on stage. Sam Fitzgerald from the network stops by after the show, and informs Larry and Jonathan that the network is very excited with the suggestions made by Jonathan's memo, which has critiqued every aspect of the show. The staff obtain copies of the memo and Larry has to reassure them that he does not agree with its contents. Hank is concerned by the memo's statement that he "skews to an older demographic", and gets an earring to try to look younger. Larry looks at it and tells him it looks as if it infected, that the left ear is the gay ear, and wearing it low on the lobe means that he is "catching not pitching". Having read the memo, Artie visits Hank, to tell him that he is being squeezed out. The two of them get drunk, and then burst into Larry's office, berating him and declaring that they are departing to work on Sally Jessy Raphael. Larry has no option but to confront Jonathan Litman, discovering that the network is in reality trying to replace Artie with Jonathan. Larry calls their bluff by calling Sheldon, and chases them both out of the office with his impression of his Chinese weatherman - "It's freeeezing! It's freeeezing!". Jeff Cesario and Robert Morton guest. | | The Flirt Episode | Garry Shandling & Fred Barron | Ken Kwapis | September 19, 1992 | 102 | 6 | | The episode opens with Larry flirting with Mimi Rogers on the show, and the interview runs long, bumping Michael Richards. Larry invites Rogers to return the following night, which makes his wife Jeannie jealous. Larry asks Artie to help him not to flirt with Rogers on the second night, by giving him some kind of sign when he is getting into dangerous flirting territory. Artie suggests grabbing his crotch as the sign, which he uses during the show. The show ends with Larry, Hank, Mimi Rogers and another guest singing Camptown Races, and Jeannie forgives Larry later that evening, saying he managed to get away with it, thanks to the song. Larry then reveals that tomorrow night's guest will be Michelle Pfeiffer, making Jeannie jealous again. Michael Richards and Mimi Rogers guest. | | Hank's Contract | Paul Simms | Ken Kwapis | September 26, 1992 | 112 | 7 | | The episode opens with George Foreman being interviewed on the show, and Foreman touches on the fact that Hank may be leaving the show. Larry clarifies this by stating that Hank is not leaving, and is simply in contract negotiations with the network. After the show, Sheldon complains to Larry and Artie that Hank is asking for too much, and is threatening to leave to take up an offer from another network. Sheldon comments that this is the same tactic that Larry and Artie use whenever their contracts are up for renegotiation. Hank keeps up the pretense that he is leaving, and organizes for Darlene to surprise him with a cake from the staff. Jerry and Phil however give him another present, a big wrapped gift box, out of which pops out a stripper. During her dance, she suddenly recognizes Hank, berates him, saying the number he gave her was "a drycleaner's in Torrance", and storms off. Hank tries to explain the situation away by saying that some people who see him on the TV get confused and think that they know him. Hank later asks to see Larry alone, but Artie listens in on the speaker-phone. However, Artie sneezes, and Hank gets upset that they are treating him as their "personal village idiot". During the break on the show that night, Robin Williams is racked with self-doubt about how good he is, and suggests that Hank and Larry get professional help to sort out their fight. Hank then visits the network, thinking that they will accede to all his demands, only to find that they choose not to renew his contract. Hank confesses to Larry that he was bluffing about an offer from another network, just as Larry had done, but Larry tells Hank that he was not bluffing, and that he actually had a deal with ABC to go on after Nightline. Larry then secretly meets with Sheldon and threatens to quit the show if they do not give Hank what he wants. The next evening, Hank turns up at the show in his new "Hankmobile" golf-cart, and admits to Larry that he got roughly half the deal that he had asked for. Before the show starts, Larry tells Artie that he is pissed off that the network did not take Larry's request to give Hank exactly what he wanted, and Artie says that they should have been nervous that Larry could take the deal to go on after Nightline. When Artie asks whether he actually has a deal to go on after Nightline, Larry responds, "fuck no!" George Foreman and Robin Williams guest. | | Out of the Loop | Marjorie Gross | Ken Kwapis | October 3, 1992 | 107 | 8 | | Larry tells Artie he wants to be more involved with the day-to-day operations involved in running the show, after hearing that Jerry was seen haing sex with Sally, another writer, behind Larry's desk on the set. Artie tells him that it has taken 8 years to completely remove him from the loop, but if he wants to be connected, it will be done. Larry is adamant that he wants to be connected, and later sits down alone with Jerry to tell him to get his act together. Hank dictates his column in his fan newsletter to Darlene, the last dictate of which is "I think that's Jerry and Sally fucking in the parking lot", which he notices out of the window. He tells Darlene to type it up and send it out, without editing anything out. Larry and Artie see Jerry's actions too, and Larry takes Jerry into his office to talk to him, again. Paula approaches Larry to talk to Larry about her boyfriend, as he is now in the loop. Peter Falk has a mock-fight with Artie during the break on the show, as it turns out that they are close friends. Peter Falk then notices something at the back of the studio, which is Jerry having sex with Sally again. Larry sees both of them in his office after the show, where Sally reveals that she is going to work in New York on Saturday Night Live, and she will be going back to her boyfriend, the head writer on the Late Night with David Letterman show. Phil comes in to give some jokes to Larry, and starts fighting with Jerry. Larry ducks out, unable to deal with the situation, and rushes to tell Artie that he wants to be disconnected out of the loop. Hank rushes onto the set to ask if they have seen Darlene, as he has noticed a small error on his fan newsletter. Artie says he last saw Darlene FedExing a whole stack of newsletters out. Peter Falk guests. | | Talk Show | Maya Forbes | Todd Holland | October 10, 1992 | 113 | 9 | | Jeannie tells Larry that she is having trouble with their relationship, which is completely centered around Larry and the show. She says that she wants to go and spend some time with her parents in Chicago. Catherine O'Hara overhears the word "Chicago" and enters and then embarrassingly leaves the conversation. She says that she spends most of the day sleeping at home, and has no quality time with Larry. The fight takes place during ad breaks on the show, and Larry messes up his interview with Billy Crystal as a result. Larry suggests that they go to Maui for two weeks, but Jeannie replies that that will not solve anything. Towards the end of the show, Larry tells Billy Crystal that they have lost the clip of his movie, and suggests that he bring on his wife, Mrs Sanders. Jeannie comes onto the show and is charmingly interviewed by Larry. Larry then invites Jeannie to come on the show next week, and bumps Kim Basinger to do so. Billy Crystal and Catherine O'Hara guest. | | Party | Maya Forbes | Todd Holland | October 17, 1992 | 108 | 10 | | During a visit to the show, Jeannie invites Artie and his wife Elaine to come to dinner at their home. Artie later asks Larry if this okay with him, and Larry says okay, but then goes home and complains to Jeannie that it will be just like being at work. Larry then invites Beverly so that she can be a "buffer". Hank then visits Larry in his office, telling him that he has two tickets for the Holyfield fight that evening, and he would like to invite Larry. Larry asks to see the tickets, and Hank eventually confesses that he has no tickets, and he would like to be invited to Larry's party that night. Later, Paula stops in to talk to Larry to ask why Beverly is being promoted ahead of her, as she has been invited to Larry's dinner. Larry tells her that she is mistaken, and to pacify her, Larry invites Paula too. Phil says hello to Larry in the corridor, and nothing else, so to break the silence Larry invites him too. During the party, Larry is concerned that Jeannie is telling the staff too much about their personal life, and tells her so in the bedroom. Jeannie gets angry and locks herself in the bedroom. When it comes time for the staff to leave, they ask Larry for their coats, which are in the bedroom. Larry tries to get Jeannie to open the door without success. It becomes clear to the staff that Larry and Jeannie are having a fight, and the staff say that they will leave without their coats - however Beverly complains and insists that she wants her coat. A drunken Artie tries to get Jeannie to open the door, and ends up breaking open the door. Larry gets the coats and asks Jeannie to come out and say goodbye, but she refuses. Larry is forced to admit to the staff that he and Jeannie are having a fight. The next day, Larry walks into the office, and the staff act as if nothing has happened, and say that it was a great party. Martin Mull guests. | | The Warmth Episode | Paul Simms | Ken Kwapis | October 24, 1992 | 103 | 11 | | The show starts with "Hank's Weight Update", where Hank declares that he has lost 7 lbs this week, achieving a weight of 198.5 lbs. Larry reveals a special guest to congratulate him - Richard Simmons. After the show, Larry reads a network research report that compares his likability with that of other talk show hosts. He becomes insecure about his likability and ask Artie to arrange for a focus group to critique the show. Hank suggests that Larry get himself a publicist, as his got him "TB". After Larry watches the focus group's comments through a two-way mirror, he decides that he does not want to continue with the process. As Larry and Artie discuss the meeting in the corridor, a fan comes up to Larry, and Larry mistakes him for Richard Simmons. Larry and Artie make an in-joke about him, which annoys the fan, who storms off, calling he and Artie "showbiz assholes". Hank takes a girl in to watch the focus group meeting, and the episode ends with the focus group hearing a thump, and a "Hey Now". Pamela Sue Martin and Richard Simmons guest. | | A Brush with the Elbow of Greatness | Maya Forbes & Peter Tolan | Ken Kwapis | October 31, 1992 | 110 | 12 | | Hank informs Larry that one of his sponsors, Mr Ben Smallie from the Chicken-in-a-Minute restaurant, will be visiting the show, and asks Larry if he can say hello. That evening, Larry and Jeannie are at home and they see a news report of a woman, Carol Biederman, who accuses Larry of pushing her over in the supermarket. Larry denies this happened to Arthur, who then calls to tell the staff not to talk to the reporters, of whom he says there are "not many". Larry asks him to give an approximate number, to which he replies "approximately... not many". Artie then gets a copy of the security tape from the supermarket, which clearly shows that Larry barged past the woman in the queue, knocking her over. Artie brings in Norman Litkey, a new character, to become Larry's publicist. Larry suggests that he should apologize, but Norm argues that letting the issue slide for a few days will keep the spotlight on Larry, boosting the show's ratings. Meanwhile, Hank asks Darlene to fill his office waste-paper baskets with wrappers from Chicken-in-a-Minute in order to impress Mr Ben Smallie when he visits. Larry becomes depressed by the press coverage of his incident, and locks himself in his office. Many people knock on Larry's door, to try to console him, including Hank, who knocks with Mr Ben Smallie - Larry's response is "fuck off Hank". Jeannie finally gets Larry to open the door by saying that if he does not open the door in 5 seconds, she will tell everyone the nickname he has for his penis. Jeannie, Norm, Larry and Artie finally agree that Larry should apologize to Carol Biederman, and they invite her onto the show to apologize to her. Larry apologizes, and offers her a fridge as a token of apology. Carol however says that she would have to check this with her attorney, as it could be construed as a settlement for her damages. Larry gets irked and almost threatens to get his lawyers involved, but Hank's timely intervention, listing the entire feature set of the fridge helps to settle the situation, and Carol accepts the fridge. The show ends with Larry shaking Carol's hand, after which she falls off the stage dais. Bella Shaw guests. | | The Hey Now Episode | Garry Shandling & Dennis Klein | Ken Kwapis | November 7, 1992 | 101 | 13 | | The episode opens with Larry interviewing Bob Saget, with whom Larry cannot get a word in. Larry asks Hank a question, but Hank answers incorrectly, as he is not paying attention to the show. Larry later complains to Artie that Hank was asleep on the couch, and asks Artie to talk to Hank. Larry later asks Artie if he thinks they should replace Hank, as he is concerned that Hank is spending too much time endorsing products, and not concentrating on the show. Larry talks to Hank in his office, and asks him to stop saying "Hey Now" on the show, as he uses it so much whilst he is not on the show. Artie condoles Larry by telling him that Janet Jackson is on the show tonight, and will land and be whisked to the set whilst filming is in progress. Larry talks to Hank in his dressing room later, and they end up arguing again. Janet Jackson does not arrive, as her plane is diverted to Reno due to fog, and T-Bone Burnett is arranged to replace her. The other guests on the show that night are Earl Holliman and dog expert Carl Hankel. Larry flounders during the extended segment with the boring dog expert whilst waiting for T-Bone to turn up, and Hank rescues him by asking questions about his dog, "Felipe Xavier Kingsley". T-Bone and band dash madly onto the show, making it in time to perform. During the song, Larry thanks Hank for saving him, and apologizes, saying the last few years have turned him into an asshole.
