Nikki Glaser Honors Rob Reiner With ‘Spinal Tap’ Farewell After Globes Cut In Memoriam

Producers scrapped the memorial reel despite a year of notable industry deaths.

Overview

  • Closing the Golden Globes, Glaser donned a Spinal Tap cap and signed off with the film’s “this one goes to eleven” line as a nod to Reiner.
  • The show omitted its customary In Memoriam segment this year, a choice reported despite multiple high-profile losses in 2025.
  • Glaser had said in advance she would offer a brief, personal homage rather than a full segment, noting Reiner was one of her idols.
  • Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 70, were found dead on December 14, and their son Nick has been charged and remains in custody as proceedings continue.
  • Recent case updates reported that attorney Alan Jackson withdrew from Nick Reiner’s defense, with Kimberly Greene taking over, and a legal analyst said the trial timeline could extend for years.
