And I'd bet he'd laugh at your posts here himself.
If he weren't dead (twice).

.....
The Larry Sanders Show creator-star, who died Thursday morning at 66 from an apparent heart attack, had just told a doctor pal whom he'd consulted a day earlier about aches and shortness of breath that he was still experiencing symptoms, sources told TMZ.
Per the doc's advice, Shandling was poised to go to a hospital after their 10 a.m. conversation. He ended up phoning 911 himself, the site reported, but collapsed in the middle of the call.
A limo service car was already waiting outside the comic's house when emergency workers arrived at 10:45 a.m., according to the gossip site.

This is the only thread which has been posted to alert us to the fact that the OP just heard this.
It happens.
I found out in another Shandling thread that Joe Garagiola had died, and I didn't even think he was still alive! So I was glad to hear he was still alive, but sad that he was dead.
