CARL REINER DEAD AT 98

TMZ ^ | 6/30/2020

Dick Van Dyke just paid tribute to Reiner ... calling him his idol. The legendary actor said Reiner had a "deeper understanding of the human condition" in a warm tribute. Carl Reiner, one of the most prolific entertainers in the history of show business has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Reiner died Monday night at his Beverly Hills home. We're told his family was with him when he passed.

Reiner was a producer. He was also a director. He was also an actor. He was also a Grammy winner. He won 9 Emmys in over 7 decades. He has more than 400 credits.

Ocean’s 11. He made that movie.

Loved this guy.

Didn’t he do the 1,000,000 year old man with Sid Caesar?

He was also pretty funny in “The Jerk” with Steve Martin.
He was the character that sued Nathan Johnson, inventor of the OPTI GRAB, that made everybody cross eyed.

[woodbutcher1963]

He was also in “Its a Mad, Mad, Mad World” with a great cast of comedic legends and he was in “The End” with Burt & Dom.

Carl was in about 30 movies.

Yes. I think Reiner also directed The Jerk.

Stuff he did with Mel Brooks (2000 Year Old Man) and Steve Martin were funny.

Dude he was speaking about his son who is a total douchbag

[Dr. Sivana]

He had the good sense and humility to rework the concept bringing in Dick Van Dyke as the main character.

Yes, which allowed him to also bring in Mary Tyler Moore as Rob's TV wife. She would not have been credible as Carl Reiner's wife. Casting was A-1 except Richie.

I think the reference was more to Reiner and Van Dyke, especially Reiner.

At one time, I would have been VERY upset.

After discovering both Reiner and Van Dyke were Libs, I really have no feeling about it at all.

[Maris Crane]

Mel Brooks was, and still is, a comic genius.

There are many who would not have been so funny without him.

He still has it.

Goodbye Allen Brady.

[Leep]

Maybe he got it from his mother’s side of the family?
the “meat head gene”

Richie was a whiny little kid who I wished they would lock in the closet. :-))

I contrast him with Ron Howard who was a terrific child actor on Andy Griffith.

Umm, them Christian’s, tearing up our cities and burning down our history, pillaging and..., oh, wait, it’s them liberals, useful idiots for our hidden in the shadows enemies.

Thank you so much for this post. RIP Carl Reiner. May his memory be a blessing.

Let’s still try and be better than them, eh folks?

[jocon307]

“Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid.”

That movie is fantastic. You should really watch Mel Brook’s Silent Movie too. It’s amazing how the format still works.

For a minute, I thought it was Meathead.

Darn.

Now he's going to vote twice in November instead of just once.
