      Often associated with family fare and genial comedies, Ken Kwapis was also twice nominated for CableACE Awards for directing the very adult "The Larry Sanders Show" (HBO). Perhaps his best-remembered episodes of the latter were with performance artist Tim Miller and with Carol Burnett when a number of tarantulas escaped in the studio.
