Reiner is survived by three children, including Rob Reiner, director of several hit movies and known for playing Archie Bunker's son-in-law Meathead in the hit TV comedy All in the Family. Late-night comedy host Stephen Colbert simply tweeted "The Greatest" in a post accompanying a picture of Reiner as a young man. Recruited into a special unit that put on shows for the troops, Reiner began writing and performing his own comedy material. Reiner and Brooks remained close into their late 90s with Reiner telling USA Today in 2019 that they got together regularly to watch game shows and movies. Reiner wrote four volumes of memoirs, including I Just Remembered in 2014, as well as children's books.
