Carl lived to 98 and had one hell of a successful, long life. He knew how to make all of us laugh, a rare talent.

He was 98. ... Mr. Reiner gained a national following in the 1950s as a brilliant straight man opposite Sid Caesar on influential TV comedy programs, directed movies that launched Steve Martin’s film career in the 1970s and 1980s, and ....
