That's a good long life.

Thanks for the laughs, we all needed it.

Quote:

Carl Reiner, one of the original kings of comedy, who created "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and directed Steve Martin's earliest films, has died at the age of 98.
Carl Reiner's assistant, Judy Nagy, confirmed to ABC News his passing last night of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills.
Born Carlton Reiner on March 20, 1922, in New York City, Reiner showed an early interest in acting as a teenager. After serving as a radio operator in World War II, he began performing comedy at a resort in New Hampshire and later landed on Broadway in several musicals.
During the early years of television comedy, from 1950 to 1957, Reiner appeared in skits with Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca in "Your Show of Shows," while working alongside the show's writers Mel Brooks and Neil Simon. Later, Reiner teamed up with Brooks playing the straight man to Brook's "2000 Year Old Man" in a series of skits they performed over several decades.

Carl Reiner, the writer of the Dick Van Dyke show has passed away.

Quote: Reiner, the father of filmmaker and activist Rob Reiner, was the winner of nine Emmy awards, including five for “The Dick Van Dyke Show.” His most popular films as a director included “Oh God,” starring George Burns, in 1977; “The Jerk,” with Steve Martin, in 1979; and “All of Me,” with Martin and Lily Tomlin, in 1984.

Reiner first came to prominence as a regular cast member of Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows,” for which he won two Emmys in 1956 and 1957 in the supporting category. He met Brooks during his time with Caesar. The two went on to have a long-running friendship and comedy partnership through the recurring “2000 Year Old Man” sketches.

He also more than held his own in the Ocean's Eleven franchises even though he was in his eighties at the time.
