I think his best work was as Carl Rhinoceros in Toy Story 4.

RIP to an absolute titan of comedy and good man. Sad to say but now I'm terribly worried about Mel Brooks. We should all be so lucky to have a friendship like theirs.

Dan Barreiro had a good Ode to a Dead Guy segmant yesterday about Carl. Some interesting tidbits on the Dick Van Dyke show.

Yeah, they were great together in Toy Story 4 as Carl Rhinoceros and Melephant Brooks.

I saw The Jerk when I was 10. I thought it was the funniest movie of all time. I saw it again a few years ago. Still really funny.

Just saw this today. Reiner had hosted the Directors Guild Awards for many years. In 2009 he had to take a year off due to illness and Jon Cryer filled in. This is the letter he sent Cryer.
