[ Seinfeld] would have never happened without him. He saw something no one else could. When nobody at the network liked the early episodes, he saved us from cancellation,

Rob Reiner, who was found dead alongside his wife, Michele Reiner, at their Los Angeles home in what police are investigating as a double homicide, was not only a celebrated filmmaker but also a longtime Democratic Party supporter and one of US President Donald Trump's most outspoken critics. Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele, 70, were discovered dead at their home on Sunday. Their son, Nick Reiner, has since been arrested on homicide charges.

Rob Reiner's younger son, Nick Reiner, was arrested and booked Monday for what investigators believe was the fatal stabbing of the director-actor and his wife Michelle at their Los Angeles home a day earlier. Police Chief Jim McDonnell said Nick Reiner, 32, has been booked for murder and is being held on $4 million bail. Nick Reiner has spoken publicly of his struggles with addiction and homelessness.

After his tragic death Sunday, the world remembers Rob Reiner as a cinematic force - and he was one, as an unforgettable presence on the ambitious 1970s sitcom "All in the Family" and later as the director of beloved films. I came to know him differently: as a restless thinker who transformed his own life story into bold public policy, reshaping how California understands and invests in its youngest children.

When he came to see the comedy act I was in, and, later, the musical comedy I had co-written, his laugh was uproarious and audible around the block. He was a great collaborator, and when the four of us proposed ideas for the films, he was the one who wrote them on 3×5 cards, and organized them into a movie. And Michele was a very good friend to my wife Judith. This is unspeakable, the stuff of Greek tragedy.

Lemon, in a video posted to Instagram on Monday, unleashed on Trump. You know what, Donald Trump, f*ck you. Just f*ck all the way off. What an asshole and a small dick shit to do, Lemon said. You have no couth, you are an immature child, you are a bigot, a f*cking racist, and a small penis asshole. Yeah, I said that.

That's not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service, at the memorial they had, was exactly right. And, totally, I believe you know, I'm Jewish but I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in Do unto others.' And I believe in forgiveness. And what she said [Erika Kirk], to me, was beautiful and absolutely you know she forgave his assassin. And I think that that is admirable.

"A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood," Trump said in a post on Truth Social Monday morning. "Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."

Rob's achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people-and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action.
