Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBob Odenkirk's character Stevie Grant "lies" to Jon Stewart, telling him his show will run for 20 years. Ironically, Stewart's The Daily Show (1996) ran for 20 seasons with Jon as host.
- GoofsIn the middle of the episode, during the final broadcast, writer Phil is seen surreptitiously sneaking the letter "Y" from the large sculpted letters "LARRY" off the right side of the stage. After Larry finishes his final speech at the end of the broadcast, we see the whole stage from Artie's position at the left of the stage, with all 5 letters still there.

Featured review
Watch it - then watch it again
In a dark season dealing with the countdown to Larry's last show, the double-length finale easily stands as one of the greatest hours on American television - or television anywhere.
The quality and painful honesty of the series and how it exposed the neuroses behind the glitz of Hollywood is illustrated by the long line of A-list stars of the day saying good-bye to Garry Shandling and his show: Warren Beatty, Jim Carrey, Sean Penn, Jon Stewart, Jerry Seinfeld, Ellen, Carol Burnett, Bruno Kirby and many others.
To top it all, we end with the glorious three amigos, fire-eating producer extraordinaire Arty, man-child Hank and high-maintenance but loveable Larry.
Knowing Garry's sad real-life journey after the show, and knowing how much of himself he put into the show and being Larry - it is very hard not to watch Larry's good-bye monologue without being a little emotional - as we knew he was really talking to us - the fans of this brilliant series.
"Flip" features an amazing blend of dark Hollywood insider humor, humanity and great performances - notably by Jim Carrey at his over-the-top-best - and remains one of TV's best finale episodes. Bravo!
