funny enough. Carl Reiner didn't always have his sights set on comedy, however, there was a small problem. I was missing two things to be an opera singer pitch and timing. Reiner was born in 1922 to Jewish immigrants, a watchmaker and homemaker in New York. I went to the movies in the Bronx. When I was a kid. I saw Ronald Koeman. It was so good. I'll never be there. But I want to be a knock. I could talk like him. Growing up in the Great Depression, Reiner sought free acting classes offered by FDR's Works Progress Administration. After serving in World War two, he headed to Broadway, where he caught the attention of someone working in a new medium. Television. Getting one very important thing, launch show shows, was my college with since season imaging Coca best writers in the history of this business, I really learned to write and learned about what constitutes good comedy. After a decade of working with Sid Caesar, Reiner needed a new creative outlet as he told Conan O'Brien. He didn't have to go far. I was being offered situation comedies. I read a few of these. They weren't very good at my wife, and her infinite wisdom said, Why don't you write one? Reiner created and starred in head of the Family. It flopped at CBS, but Reiners agent had an idea. We'll get a better actor to play you. Although the show got a new cast and a new title Dick Van Dyke Show, Reiner stayed to run the Siri's regularly, appearing on it as well. Whatever you're going to see Laura, I would rather you said to me, That's the way you want it wrong Five years I spent with Carl Reiner and Mary Tyler Moore on The Van Dyke Show with the five best years of my life, the most fun I ever had, the most creative. And I think I learned the most working with Carl Reiner than I ever did what time on comedy about human behavior, about about everything. Carla could have been a psychiatrist. He's I understand people so well. The world is full of normal neurotics, and we like to see ourselves, and I think I think we saw ourselves Indyk. While on set, Reiner developed a passion for directing his movies Oh God with George Burns and the Jerk starring Steve Martin, became instant comedy classics when after Grab came out, I thought it was the greatest thing ever and I bought a pair. This is the result. In his later years, Reiner wrote several books, but he never strayed far from his acting roots. Whether it was on TV sitcoms like Met About You, We Have about Anywhere Before I'm sure I'd remember Oh yes, yes, you would. Or on film in the Oceans 11 franchise. You're all aces in my book, but I want the last check. I write bouts. In his personal life, Reiner was married more than 60 years to jazz singer Estelle Reiner, who appeared in their son Rob's film. When Harry Met Sally, I'll have what she's having. Reiners had three Children. Their eldest, Raw, became a successful actor turned director. Just like his dad. He is my idol and the person who has given me not only life but a direction in life do you pinch yourself a lot all the all the time. How did this happen? It's still a dream. It's still the dream
