Sad news, but what a great, long life. He was still sharp and still funny at his 98 years of age.
Mel Brooks will undoubtedly be very sad.

That's sad news indeed, but I totally agree with your sentiment.

As great as Mel Brooks was on those 2000 year old Man albums, Carl Reiner played the "straight man" funnier than just about anyone else who ever did that job. Man, those records were hilarious.
He also directed one of the greatest comedies, The Jerk.
RIP

Back in the day at a punk show in Chinatown, Los Angeles, I saw two old dudes drive their beat up old station wagon where cars were not supposed to be so that some kids could unload their music equipment at the Hong Kong Cafe.
Didn't recognize them right off but after staring a while it became clear that the two old dudes were Mel Brooks and Carl Reiner. The kids who were playing were their grand children. I thought it was pretty cool they would come along to support them.
RIP Mr. Reiner

RIP Alan Brady.
I think Rose Marie died pretty recently also leaving Dick Van Dyke as the last man standing from that great show. Sad times...

Ha ha, yeah - I did actually think of the kid but wasn't counting him...
He probably rivals Jake Lloyd for most annoying child actor 😀
