The Larry Sanders Show - 1x12 A Brush with (the Elbow of) Greatness

Hank informs Larry that one of his sponsors, Mr Ben Smallie from the Chicken-in-a-Minute restaurant, will be visiting the show, and asks Larry if he can say hello. That evening, Larry and Jeannie are at home and they see a news report of a woman, Carol Biederman, who accuses Larry of pushing her over in the supermarket. Larry denies this happened to Arthur, who then calls to tell the staff not to talk to the reporters, of whom he says there are "not many". Larry asks him to give an approximate number, to which he replies "approximately... not many". Artie then gets a copy of the security tape from the supermarket, which clearly shows that Larry barged past the woman in the queue, knocking her over. Artie brings in Norman Litkey to become Larry's publicist. Larry suggests that he should apologize, but Norm argues that letting the issue slide for a few days will keep the spotlight on Larry, boosting the show's ratings. Meanwhile, Hank asks Darlene to fill his office waste-paper baskets with wrappers from Chicken-in-a-Minute in order to impress Mr Ben Smallie when he visits. Larry becomes depressed by the press coverage of his incident, and locks himself in his office. Many people knock on Larry's door, to try to console him, including Hank, who knocks with Mr Ben Smallie - Larry's response is "fuck off Hank". Jeannie finally gets Larry to open the door by saying that if he does not open the door in 5 seconds, she will tell everyone the nickname he has for his penis. Jeannie, Norm, Larry and Artie finally agree that Larry should apologize to Carol Biederman, and they invite her onto the show to apologize to her. Larry apologizes, and offers her a fridge as a token of apology. Carol however says that she would have to check this with her attorney, as it could be construed as a settlement for her damages. Larry gets irked and almost threatens to get his lawyers involved, but Hank's timely intervention, listing the entire feature set of the fridge helps to settle the situation, and Carol accepts the fridge. The show ends with Larry shaking Carol's hand, after which she falls off the stage dais. Guest star: David Paymer
