Conan O'Brien breaks silence on friend Rob Reiner's death

  • On Feb. 20, 2026 Conan O'Brien told The New Yorker he was in shock after learning Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner died the day after attending his holiday party.
  • After their Dec. 14 death, reports show Rob Reiner, 78, and Michele Singer Reiner, 70, were found murdered after attending Conan O'Brien's holiday party, and their son, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged with two counts of first‑degree murder.
