Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Carl Reiner passed away yesterday at the age of 98 from natural causes according to Vanity Fair.

He had an illustrious career in Hollywood that lasted over 70 both in front of and behind the camera. He is best known for creating The Dick Van Dyke Show. However, he did so much more.

In front of the camera, we saw him on the show he created as Alan Brady. However, he was in movies like It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad World, The Jerk, and Oh Gd!. He also guest-starred on so many great series like Mad About You, Ally McBeal, The Bernie Mac Show, House, Two and a Half Men, Hot In Cleveland, Young & Hungry, and Angela Tribeca. He was acting up until he died.

That was not his only facet. He was also a comedy writer during the Golden Age of television, and his words helped to inspire a lot of today’s sitcom writers. The things that he and Mel Brooks did together was comedy gold. Which is probably why they had a friendship that lasted 70 years. In fact, Reiner’s last Instagram was to celebrate his best friend’s 94th birthday on Sunday.

Reiner had two partners in life, Brooks and his wife of 65 years, Estelle Reiner. Together, they had three children, Lucas, Annie, and Rob. Rob Reiner wrote this about his father’s passing, “As I write this my heart is hurting. He was my guiding light.”

Together, the father and son spent the last few years bashing Donald Trump. I have a feeling Trump won’t be getting rest anytime soon because, you know, Reiner is going to be haunting it.

Today, remember Reiner, as he lived, with laughs. Discover the great things he did for comedy by watching some of his genius work. There was no one like him. Well, maybe Mell Brooks, but no one else. Maybe Sid Caesar, but that is it. Wait, I will stop there because he truly was a legend.

Fred Willard passed away at the age of 86 in his sleep yesterday, according to KABC.

What isn’t the comedic actor known for throughout his long career. He started his career in 1966, and he didn’t stop until he died. In that nearly 65 year career, we saw him Fernwood Tonight, This is Spinal Tap, Roseanne, Mad About You, Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, Anchorman, Everybody Loves Raymond, The Bold and the Beautiful, Modern Family, the upcoming Space Force, and many many late night appearances.

If you watched television, then you have seen him in something. Therefore, remember today by watching in anything he was in and laughing with him.

Jerry Stiller passed away today at the age of 92 from natural causes according to Ben Stiller. His son wrote, “I’m sad to say that my father, Jerry Stiller, passed away from natural causes. He was a great dad and grandfather, and the most dedicated husband to Anne for about 62 years. He will be greatly missed. Love you Dad.”

Jerry Stiller is best known for the comedy act he had his wife Ann Meara, who passed away in 2015. The two of them were all over the television during the Golden Era of TV.

Then in the ’90s, his career saw a resurgence when he played Frank Constanza on Seinfeld and Arthur Spooner of The King of Queens. He also made appearances in son’s movies like both Zoolanders.

Remember him today as he lived his life, full of laughter.

Little Richard passed away today at the age of 87, according to Rolling Stone.

The flamboyant singer was one of the first big names in Rock’n’Roll with hits like Tutti Frutti, Good Golly Miss Molly, Keep A-Knockin’, Whole Lotta Shakin’, and Lucielle.

We all don’t know his name just because of his catchy tunes, it was the way he performed them. He was a showman. The way he tickled the ivories was a sight to see.

Let’s keep his vivacious spirit alive by listening to his lively music that shaped all of the tunes we listen to today.

Roy Horn passed away today from coronavirus at the age of 75 according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Horn was best known for being half of the magic/animal act Siegfried & Roy. The two men delighted Las Vegas for years.

“Today, the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend,” Siegfried Fischbacher said in a statement. “From the moment we met, I knew Roy and I, together, would change the world. There could be no Siegfried without Roy, and no Roy without Siegfried.

“Roy was a fighter his whole life including during these final days. I give my heartfelt appreciation to the team of doctors, nurses and staff at Mountain View Hospital who worked heroically against this insidious virus that ultimately took Roy’s life.”

In 2003, tragedy struck the duo when Horn was bitten by one of their tigers. He spent the rest of his life recovering from the incident.

He might have been able to survive a tiger bite, but he was not able to beat COVID-19.
