RIP to a legend. For anyone who might not know, he was the voice actor of the love interest in that classic King of the Hill episode when Hank walks in on his mom having sex and goes blind:

The Comedians in cars getting coffee episode with him and Mel Brooks is wonderful.

So sad for Mel.

RIP Carl . Dick Van Dyke show is considered such an influential show and it still stands the test of time. There'd be no Simpsons without it.

One of his last tweets, just three days ago.

I saw that he'd died and my immediate reaction was to be sad, but then I thought, "But why be sad? He lived a good, long life, longer than most. He had a storied career, a wife, kids. If anyone can be said to have led a really good life, it's probably him."

And then I scrolled and saw this.

Rest in Peace, Carl.

Comic legend and by all accounts just a lovely man. 98 is an amazing run but still. R.I.P.

What a run. At least he got to see in Brooks' birthday.

There's plenty to remember him for, so I'd just like to touch on him popping up in an episode of House as Eugene Schwartz. Just a naturally funny, and lovely man.



Rest in peace.

Absolute legend. If you're a sitcom fan and haven't seen The Dick Van Dyke Show, do yourself a favor and start with Season 3 episode 1.
Basically every sitcom premise we know and love came from this show, or I Love Lucy.

Damn. RIP.

He lived a full life, but man this sucks. The fact that he still hung out with Mel Brooks regularly was really lovely.

So he's the father of Rob Reiner... I mean they share the same name but didn't make the connection.

Dammit, I'm dumb.

Time to watch "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" again.

Carl Reiner was a treasure, and he will be missed.

So many good works. Can't be sad about making it to 98 though. RIP

I frequently quote him from the opening of Ocean's Twelve on his goals. "I want the last check I write to bounce." Amen.

He was also on an episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee which kinda turned into Mel & Carl watching Jeopardy for 50 years.

It was lovely.

He was amazing, what I would have given to just spend one afternoon with him and Mel Brooks just shooting the shit.
