The Larry Sanders Show · Season 1, Episode 12

Larry and Beverly in “A Brush with the Elbow of Greatness”

Larry

See, I can't do that. I can't be an asshole.

Beverly

[eye-rolling] That must be really hard for you, Larry.

Larry

It is. It's very frustrating. Think of Johnny Carson. Remember when Johnny got arrested for drunk driving and he made the front page of every newspaper?

Beverly

Yeah.

Larry

You know how many people get arrested for drunk driving everyday? They're not on the front page of newspapers, only Johnny Carson is on the front page of newspaper. Do you know why?

Beverly

He was drunk!

Larry

No, but he's Johnny, that's the point. You think she would have sold those tapes to Entertainment Tonight if I wasn't Larry Sanders? I'll move to Montana, that will make everybody happy.
