Carl Reiner is now up with his wife Estelle for the first time in nearly 12 years. She'll have what he's having: love and togetherness up there where they belong. We will miss you dearly, Mr. Reiner. Thank you for all the laughs and all the smiles that you have brought to the world and on television.

I’m so sorry you were taken from us- such a national treasure - but I will always love you Carl Reiner for your humanity - you will be missed ❤️❤️ Rest In Peace

[@somaliatheist2623]

What a great man

[@anncoster7458]

Such a wonderful person. You never hear anything bad about him or his family. Thank you, Carl.

[@RyanHLee-nc7hg]

This interview is wonderful. The interviewer is one of those rare people who doesn’t patronize her interviewee. She just talks naturally with Carl, which I so appreciate. My goodness, I feel as if I have lost a member of my own family-although honestly, I like Carl more than a lot of my family members!

[@spinthis56]

I loved that man!!!

[@mindakahn9964]

Mr. Reiner, May your memory be a blessing.
Thank you for years of brilliant laughter, and for humorously holding up a mirror to society.

[@HettiedeKorteDiplomaat]

Such a sweetheart.

[@greensprite6067]

Hettie de Korte it’s sad that he died

[@carlaramunno7314]

What a treasure!!! So grateful for his contributions to entertain many many generations!! May he rest is peace with his beautiful bride. Condolences to his family and friends, especially Mel Brooks.

I can't believe Carl Reiner is gone. I was sure he'd live to be 100. He gave so much laughter to this weary world. Rest peacefully, Carl.

Funny, funny guy. Thanks, Mr. Reiner for all the laughs over your long life that was full of so many accomplishments. RIP and condolences to your family.

[@dhurley8522]

What a lovely man.. 🙏🏻❤️

[@mariettaldn]

Estelle singing “It Had To Be You“, which features in her son’s movie “When Harry Met Sally”, hit me right in the feels... what a wonderful family! R. I. P. Carl, thank you for the laughs... ❤️❤️❤️

Watch the Comedians in Cars with Coffee episode with Carl, it is classic to see that he and Mel Brooks get together in Carl's house every night have dinner and watch Jeopardy.

I grew up in the 60s and Carl's influence was all over the TV. He was one very funny man and without a doubt the best comedy writer. He didn't have to write vulgar stuff to make us laugh. I bid his family peace.

[@mellow5123]

RIP Carl, but knock 'em out wherever you are.

[@voicegirl555]

Happy Happy 99th Birthday Carl Reiner! You are so very missed! I am still sad that you are gone. What a funny guy you were!!! You made me and others laugh and that is a gift we will always be greatful to you for. Thank you!!!

RIP funny man

Carl Reiner is/was the history of television. He spawned countless # of writers comedians/actors. He was the last surviving actor from "ITS A MAD, MAD, MAD, MAD WORLD." 💋💋💋💋💋💋👍🤣🤣🤣🤣LOVE YOU!

[@edwardhudson8505]

As I sit and remember why we love our television classics, I cannot help but reflect on a sheer genius like Car Reiner. He has set several examples of WHAT television comedies should be like Lucille Ball had accomplished with physical comedy. He left us a legacy that will endure for many more generations to come. RIP Mr. Reiner. God bless.

[@NevadaBoss]

A really shi**y year got even crappier this week with the passing of this comedic genius. RIP 'Mr Brady'...creator of one of the TV shows that 'raised' generations of viewers. Oh, Rob....

[@markjones952]

RIP Carl Reiner. Also, Mary Tyler Moore was a fox.

[@darlahkelley9800]

[@dannythomas417]

Sad for Robbie too.

[@Orlando407100]

I only know this guy because of King of the Hill Gary kasner he's Jewish

[@ssweeps]

He hated Trump.

[@richardbullis6263]

Who does not.

No creo que el piense que estará con su esposa, él era ateo, lo que significa que muy probablemente no se creía esos cuentos.
