In a March 2016 interview on The Howard Stern Show, hosted by Howard Stern, Reiner spoke about having a famous father. While speaking to Reiner, Stern referenced that actor and comedianSteve Martin, 80, had a close working relationship with Carl. Reiner noted that his father directed Martin in "four pictures," including 1979's The Jerk.
"I say, 'Yes, I had a different relationship with my father but I would have loved to have had what that was.' But it's what it is," explained Reiner during the interview.
"He's like the son that you wish you had who could do shtick and do all that stuff," replied Reiner.
"Steve is one of these actors who you don't tell them what to do. You choose from what he does and say, 'Yeah do that.' All I had to do was point the cameras at the most versatile human being there is on our planet," said the late writer.
