Carl Reiner has an incomparable show business resume. It includes more than seven decades as a comic actor, director and writer, which has earned him 12 EMMYs and one Grammy. He was part of the cast and writing team of Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows, straight man to Mel Brooks’ 2000-Year-Old Man, creator and co-star of The Dick Van Dyke Show, and director of Steve Martin vehicles like The Jerk and The Man With Two Brains. And that’s just a fraction of his accomplishments, onstage and off.
These days, the 92-year-old Reiner is more of a full-time author. He just released a new memoir, titled I Just Remembered, on Lawrence O’Flahavan’s Random Content imprint, which Reiner financed. It’s the follow-up to last year’s I Remember Me, which O’Flahavan also produced, though he used AuthorHouse since Random Content hadn’t been created yet. And there’s more on the way. Reiner is already 100 or so pages into his next memoir, tentatively titled What I Forgot to Remember. He’ll expand the label’s reach in December with his children’s adventure book, The Secret Treasure of Tahka Paka, and publish two children’s books—Penelope’s Pearls and I Am Lilly—by his daughter, Annie Reiner, sometime next year.
