I saw this a while back, I think Shandling was trying to be funny putting a bit of an act on, but just came across as a cunt.
He purposefully walk's the line of having a cunt persona and actually being a cunt to Gervais because he is genuinely bothered by him. I've always thought Ricky was close to having a fall along these lines, I don't think this is it. He isn't what people lord him up to be, particulaly americans, and I think he know's it. He is funny I like what he's done, but I've always thought that someone could take him down so easily.
