Yet another Larry Sanders episode of sterling quality, but what always stands out to me about this show was it was the first time I saw the amazing talent of Bob Odenkirk as smarmy, insincere and - naturally - super-successful agent Stevie Grant.
What became clear later was Odenkirk's gift for fast-paced patter would later be widely showcased in his role as Saul Goodman on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
As Grant, Odenkirk nails the vicious dog-devour-dog nature of Hollywood in another memorable episode. His immortal non-committal line to an invitation from Hank - "Let's play it by ear, Honcho" was so perfect it has entered our family's lexicon.
