Gifted comedian, director, and all around good guy Carl Reiner passed away today at 98.

98 years old. That’s a hell of a run. RIP, funny man.

If laughter is the best medicine, he ran a hell of a pharmaceutical company

Oh, man, that makes me sad... He and Brooks invented modern comedy out of whole cloth.

had to happen someday, but still feels bad even at 98.  That bit he did with Jerry only a few years ago was absolutely fresh.  He’ll be missed and I hope his art lives on.  RIP

Damn it.  I’ll have to listen to the 2000 year old man routine today to celebrate his life.

Amazing to still be relevant, with it, and funny when one is 98.  I think years from now people will still laugh at the Jerk and so much of his other work.
