On June 29, the world lost a comedy trailblazer, and Mel Brooks lost his nightly dining and Jeopardy! viewing companion, when Carl Reiner died of natural causes at the age of 98. His son, director Rob Reiner, confirmed the news when he tweeted, “Last night my dad passed away. As I write this my heart is hurting. He was my guiding light.” After a decades-spanning career creating beloved series like The Dick Van Dyke Show, movies like The Jerk, and the inimitable 2,000 Year Old Man sketch, Reiner became a prolific, hilarious, and warm presence on Twitter. So today on Twitter, celebrities, friends, family, and admirers are sharing their respects and memories of Reiner.

Last night my dad passed away. As I write this my heart is hurting. He was my guiding light.

My idol, Carl Reiner, wrote about the human comedy. He had a deeper understanding of the human condition, than I think even he was aware of. Kind, gentle, compassionate, empathetic and wise. His scripts were never just funny, they always had something to say about us.

Carl Reiner, Bronx born and bred, made TV comedy that endures to this day. He made America laugh — a true gift.

The great #CarlReiner has gone to that Show of Shows in the sky. I worked with him, loved him, and consider myself one of the luckiest people in the world to have once attended lunch with his hilarious, guarrulous gang...

R.I.P. Carl Reiner. Growing up Carl was like a second dad to me. He was the greatest. Not just as a comic legend but as a man. There was no one else this funny and this nice. I loved him.

Carl Reiner was comedy genius. Often that genius made other funny people even funnier. But give him a stage and he could spin laughter out of any moment. I watched him do it time and again. His contributions to comedy are eternal. And a lovely man, as well. #ripCarlReiner

— Dan Rather (@DanRather) June 30, 2020

Carl Reiner was a legend. Writer, director, actor, innovator. He helped shape so much in comedy. If you have time today put “Mel brooks and Carl Reiner” into youtube and enjoy two of the funniest humans making each other laugh for over 50 years.https://t.co/Owxx5Vgwq4

— Ben Schwartz (@rejectedjokes) June 30, 2020

The world was lucky to have 98 years with the incredible Carl Reiner. As a kid, I spent countless hours listening to “2,000 Year Old Man.” Carl & Mel Brooks’ creative and improv genius reshaped comedy and was certainly the most singular inspiration @mulaney and I referenced... pic.twitter.com/CWECwzPna0

A couple of weeks ago I tweeted a joke reply to Carl Reiner and he liked it and it seriously made my day. A giant of comedy who spanned generations. Glad he lived a long life.

— James Urbaniak (@JamesUrbaniak) June 30, 2020

He was a legend, a patriot, and a beautiful, caring man. He helped me personally and inspired me. He didn’t live long enough to see his beloved country restored but he looked forward to that day.

And it will come.

I love you Carl. Thanks.@carlreiner pic.twitter.com/ThrUeSiSdl

We lost comedy legend @carlreiner at 98 yesterday. He was a pillar in our community and brought so much joy to our screens for so many years. I had the pleasure of working with him in 2017 and I will never, ever forget it. Thank you, Carl. pic.twitter.com/DuaiuJgTEf

It's hard to think of many people who were as funny as long as Carl Reiner. He made me laugh 'til I couldn't anymore... then I'd laugh even harder! I wanted to be like him (only with more fur). A legendary comedian, a legendary life. Comedy – and all of us – will miss you, Carl.

— Fozzie Bear (@FozzieBear) June 30, 2020

As if 2020 weren’t cruel enough. Goodbye to one of the greatest comedic minds of all time. Thank you for always making us laugh and for always giving us joy. My deepest condolences go out to the entire Reiner family. RIP #CarlReiner pic.twitter.com/IeJ3RkG2vS
