Shandling's "average guy stuck in the farce called life" persona works quite well within the framework of the tape. Casual fans, however, might prefer the Johnny Carson-baiting Shandling of the much-later cable series It's Garry Shandling's Show and The Larry Sanders Show. Like those two projects, Alone in Las Vegas began as a Showtime cable special--Shandling's first, in fact. This 1984 effort was directed by William Dear, who also helmed Mike Nesmith's Elephant Parts, which begat the series Television Parts--which in turn begat the It's Garry Shandling's Show comedy sketch that put Shandling on the map. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
