In 1973, Shandling moved to Los Angeles, made contact with George Carlin after catching one of his shows, worked at an ad agency for a time, then sold a script to the writers on what was then one of the hottest shows on network television, the NBCsitcomSanford and Son. Shandling's script became "Sanford and the Rising Son," the episode in which Ah Chew (played by Pat Morita) turned Fred Sanford's house into a Chinese restaurant (broadcast in November 1975). After his Sanford and Son success, Shandling got more work, writing numerous scripts for other hit sitcoms of the time, including Welcome Back, Kotter and Three's Company.
