Social media is mourning following news that one of Hollywood’s most prolific entertainers, Carl Reiner, has died. Reiner died at the age of 98 at his Beverly Hills home on Monday night, TMZ was the first to report. He was surrounded by family. Reiner’s assistant, Judy Nagy, told Variety that Reiner died of natural causes.
Throughout his seven-decade-long career, Reiner worked as a director, producer and actor, achieved the title of a nine-time Emmy winner as well as a Grammy winner, and garnered more than 400 credits to his name. Among those credits was his role for creating and starring in The Dick Van Dyke Show, something that earned him five Emmys. Reiner had gotten his big break in 1950 when he was cast in Your Show of Shows and he went on to star in a number of other titles, including Ocean’s Eleven, Hot in Cleveland, and more. He also directed titles such as The Jerk, All of Me, and Oh God.

Just yesterday, Carl Reiner was still tweeting. Paying tribute to the legendary Noel Coward. Just a few days ago, there were pictures of him and best friend Mel Brooks on Mel’s 94th birthday. Today, Carl is gone. He was 98. An absolute legend and one of the best people, ever https://t.co/mv4PYM0u9r

Listen to any #CarlReiner podcast or talk show interview he did from the last 15 years and you’ll hear a smart lucid man telling one of a kind stories about his incredible career as a performer-writer-director. He might’ve been the best all around comedian given his abilities

Too many people spend their lives making the world a worse place…but for the ones who spread joy, even 98 is too young. Thanks for all the laughs, #CarlReiner (though you’ll always be Alan Brady to me). pic.twitter.com/zNwHzg3wrh

Rest in Peace the great Carl Reiner. His film work with Steve Martin in the 80s was a massive influence on me and has continued to create many a belly laugh over the years. #carlreiner pic.twitter.com/RN5GYgd6sc
