CARL REINER TRIBUTE
TCM, 8:00 p.m. ET
Carl Reiner received many tributes about his TV work when he died last month – but now comes TCM’s tribute, which focuses on Reiner’s movie career as a director. It starts at 8 p.m. ET with 1967’s Enter Laughing, whose stars include Elaine May, Jack Gilford, Don Rickles, Jose Ferrer, and Shelley Winters. Reiner directs, and wrote the original novel and collaborated on the screenplay. At 10 p.m. ET comes 1984’s All of Me, starring Steve Martin and Lily Tomlin as people who find themselves sharing the same body. At midnight ET, there’s 1969’s The Comic, starring Dick Van Dyke as a silent film comic looking back on his career, with more than a little bitterness about his subsequent circumstances. Then – and this is one to record and relish – at 2 a.m. ET, TCM presents 1970’s Where’s Poppa? (pictured), the hilarious comedy starring George Segal, Ruth Gordon, and Trish Van Devere. And finally, at 3:30 a.m. ET, comes 1977’s Oh, God!, starring John Denver and George Burns. And this tribute doesn’t even include other Reiner-directed films, including The Jerk, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, The Man with Two Brains, and Fatal Instinct…
