Carl Reiner, one of the first television comedy writers, whose work would influence generations of entertainers and filmmakers, has died at the age of 98

RIP and thanks for the memories!

RIP Mr. Reiner.

A legend. He will be missed. I also love that he was Tweeting against Trump to the very end. Too bad he didn't live long enough to see realDonaldTrump in jail.

This is so sad. Carl Reiner invented the sitcom provided Americans wit decades of entertainment. May he rest in peace. 😢

Heartbroken to hear of Carl’s passing. I smile & will always remember him starting with his time on the Sid Caesar show when I was a kid. He was an outstanding person with an unsurpassed contribution to American comedy. He remained engaged to the very end & above all a patriot.

May his memory be a blessing

I liked him as the Old Timer Con Man as Mr Zarka in the Ocean 11+ series Movies !! RIP

Carl Reiner was a white man and a racist.

An icon, legend, activist and humorist til the end.

I am sincerely broken up about this. I have been a big fan of his since his Show of Show days in the 60’s. I was thrilled to find him on Twitter and follow his witty retorts and commentary about these perilous times. Thanks Carl, RIP.

My heart aches!

The real treasure in any group, community, country, etc., are those who can make us laugh. Thanks Carl and rest in peace.

One of the absolute best! RIP.

In times like these, America longs for another Joe McCarthy. 😭

RIP, sir

Legend.

Oh wow RIP
