Conan O'Brien feels 'hollow' after death of Rob and Michele Reiner
The gala raised a record $4 million as Jake and Romy Reiner presented a new award honoring their parents’ advocacy for children and families.
- On Sunday, November 8, 2026, comedian Conan O'Brien honored Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner at the Children's Institute annual Cape & Gown Gala in Los Angeles, describing their loss as "devastating and surreal."
- The tribute arrived nearly one year after the filmmaker and his wife were found stabbed to death at their $13.5 million Brentwood estate on December 14, 2025, just hours after attending O'Brien's holiday party.
- Authorities arrested the couple's son, Nick Reiner, hours after the discovery of the bodies; he currently remains in custody at the Los Angeles County Twin Towers Correctional Facility awaiting trial after pleading not guilty to murder.
- Jake Reiner and Romy Reiner joined O'Brien at the event, which raised $4 million, to present the inaugural Michele & Rob Reiner Champion for Change Award to longtime family friend Jamie Lee Curtis.
- Nick, 33, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison without parole if convicted; a court hearing scheduled for January 13, 2027, will determine whether to unseal grand jury transcripts.
