Carl Reiner, R.I.P.

My memories of Carl Reiner date from those 50s-era Saturday nights of my childhood (pretty much the highlight of each week) when we gathered around the TV to watch Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows.  We watched a lot of craziness, like this:

More recently was his series of “Dispatches From Quarantine”, like this example:

Here is Carl with his buddy, Mel Brooks, in a wonderful photograph, undated but in later years:

A great remembrance in a Twitter thread today, too.

You could spend the next week or maybe more checking out YouTube clips and more internet fare on Carl.  And it would be time well spent.
