Rob Reiner was honored with a touching tribute at Sunday’s Golden Globes 2026, nearly one month after he and wife Michele Reiner were killed.
Host Nikki Glaser wore a “Spinal Tap” baseball cap as she closed out the awards show, referencing two lines from the Reiner-directed film in her closing statements.
“That’s our show. This one went to 11,” the comedian, 41, said. “Thank you guys for an amazing night, and I hope we found the line between clever and stupid.”
Glaser, notably, told USA Today on Thursday that she would honor the late director “in [her] own way” since the show does not include an in memoriam segment.
“I have something planned,” she teased, calling her tribute a “delicate” one.
Reiner, who was nominated for nine Golden Globes during his career, died on Dec. 14, 2025, alongside his partner in their Brentwood, Calif., home.
The couple’s youngest son, Nick Reiner, was subsequently charged with their murders.
