In a world where the word where the word “legend” can get overused, let’s be clear. Carl Reiner was a legend. He started in comedy during WWII. He performed on stage, on the radio, on TV and movies. He did it all. He was on TV at a time when TV was this weird new thing that nobody was really sure what to do with. All that’s pretty amazing. The important thing is, though, that the stuff that Carl worked on—it’s really funny, still. He created The Dick Van Dyke Show, one of the greatest TV shows of all time. He co-wrote and directed Steve Martin’s The Jerk. And, you know, his best buddy was Mel Brookes—best buddy and collaborator. The two of them hung out together pretty much every day. Carl Reiner kept working right up until the end, too. One of my favorite recent things he did was on the television show Parks and Recreation. He played Ned Jones, the president of Pawnee Seniors United.
