O’Brien described the Reiners as lovely people, and he was deeply shocked to learn of their passing just hours after bidding them good night.

He praised Rob Reiner for his exceptional work in the film industry, particularly his successful films during the 1980s and ’90s.
Reflecting on Rob’s legacy, O’Brien noted that even if Reiner had only made “Spinal Tap,” he would still be considered a legend. The fact that he went on to create more remarkable films was a testament to his talent and creativity.
