"Ahora que estoy sentado junto a usted y que hablo con usted me aterra pensar en el futuro, porque el futuro es otra vez la soledad, esta vida rutinaria e inútil. ¿Y ya con qué voy a soñar, cuando he sido tan feliz despierto?"
"Noches blancas", Fiodor Dostoyevski

El adiós de Larry Sanders como presentador de su Late Night Show fue un mazazo global en EE.UU.

Mirad cómo se puso Jim Carrey al recordar el anuncio de su marcha.

Pero en realidad ese presentador no se llamaba Larry Sanders, sino Garry Shandling. Empieza el #MakeEmLaugh.

It is deep January. The sky is hard.
The stalks are firmly rooted in ice.

Out of these gawky flitterings,

Intones its single emptiness,
The savagest hollow of winter-sound.

—Wallace Stevens
