Shandling's last onscreen credit was 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, in which he played a senator and secret HYDRA agent. He also appeared in an episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee in January, titled, "It's Great That Garry Shandling Is Still Alive."

During the episode, Shandling discussed the death of Robin Williams, who committed suicide in 2014.

"I'm sure, like me, you were stunned. I was sitting there watching CNN anyway, and they broke in and said Robin Williams killed himself. I sat there and I was frozen," he recalled. "Then Wolf Blitzer says, '63 is so young.' I looked up with a little hope, because I'm about the same age as Robin. Then I realized '63 is so young' is a phrase you never hear relative to anything but death. '63 is so young to be playing in the NFL.'"
