Overview
- The Creative Arts Emmy for best guest actor in a comedy went to Rob Reiner at the ceremony held Sunday, with Wendi McLendon-Covey delivering the laudation and accepting the statuette on his behalf amid minutes-long ovations.
- Reiner was honored for playing franchise consultant Albert Schnurr in three episodes of The Bear’s fourth season, a performance that included a finale moment that referenced his film The Princess Bride.
- The award is Reiner’s third Emmy and creates a 48-year gap between wins, the longest interval between Emmys for any performer.
- Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on December 14, 2025, and their son Nick Reiner has been charged with two counts of murder and pleaded not guilty.
- Reiner is expected to be included in the main Emmy show's In Memoriam segment on September 14 and the criminal case against his son remains active with no resolution reported so far.
