Just over four months after the shocking death of Rob Reiner and his wife Michele singer, one of the couple's closest friends, the iconic comedian Billy Crystal, is offering some heartfelt insight into his decades-long relationship with the late Reiner.
Appearing on a recent episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the 78-year-old comedian was asked what it was like remaining friends with Reiner since their earliest collaborations together in the '70s and '80s.
"Tell us about Rob Reiner," Colbert first asked of Crystal. "'Cause we all know him from his performances and from his directing, but what was he like as a friend?"
"Hilarious," Crystal started by saying. "Devoted. Opinionated in the best way, fighting for the truth, for our country," he continued, referring to Reiner's outspoken views on widespread political issues.
"[He had] the greatest comedy taste," Crystal went on to say. "We could talk about everything. He was an uncle to my kids. There's so many moments that just, when something good happens, or 'Isn't that crazy?' where I want to pick up the phone and then call [him] and say, 'Did you see?!' Because that's what we would do."
As an example of their close friendship, Crystal also shared some warm memories of working with Reiner on When Harry Met Sally..., comparing the duo's friendship to the central relationship at the heart of the classic '80s romantic comedy.
"In Harry and Sally..., there's a lot of moments where [Meg Ryan] and I are really Rob and I," Crystal revealed. "He was going through a tough divorce from Penny Marshall at the time, and we were on the phone constantly. And there'd be moments where we'd be watching a movie together, like Casablanca, and we would go back and forth."
"It was a profound loss for... I'm just going to say humanity, because he was the most human person that I ever met," the iconic comedian finished by saying.
