Rob Reiner and Kimmel criticize Donald Trump in cameos on the Larry David show

Jeremy Allen White on the “gifted” Rob Reiner

Jeremy Allen White describes what it was like working with Rob Reiner on “The Bear,” who was a “truly gifted and singular artist.”

Surprise! Late Hollywood icon Rob Reiner’s final TV role involves skewering President Donald Trump.

The “When Harry Met Sally” director, who died in December, made an unannounced posthumous appearance on the July 3 episode of Larry David’s historic HBO sketch comedy, “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Misfortune,” produced by former President Barack Obama and former first lady Michelle Obama. At the end of the episode, Reiner played George Washington in a sketch centered around Trump roasting without ever saying his name, and Trump’s least favorite late-night comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, even got involved.

In the scene, Reiner, as Washington, announces that he will not seek a third term and explains that he wants future presidents to follow his example. He says Congress can pass a constitutional amendment limiting presidents to two terms. But David, playing a man in the crowd listening to the speech, steps in and asks what would happen if, theoretically, a “narcissistic asshole” one day became president and refused to uphold the Constitution.

“Rest assured, even if this future president violated the Constitution, the United States Congress and the United States Supreme Court would not allow it,” Washington insists, only for David to wonder what would happen if the Supreme Court was made up of “a bunch of yes-men” and Congress cared “more about party than country.”

Rob and Michele Reiner’s son, Jake Reiner, makes rare public appearance

“I can’t even imagine the existence of such men,” Washington says, but adds that in the future there should be a peaceful transfer of power after every election, “in which the loser accepts the results of the election and supports the winner wholeheartedly.” In another obvious criticism of Trump, David’s character agrees: “Anyone who wouldn’t accept the results of a free and fair election is a sociopath!” »

As David rants at length about this hypothetical future president, who is obviously supposed to be Trump, he warns that this person might attack the free press and try to silence “anyone who dares to criticize him,” at which point another man in the crowd, played by Kimmel, intervenes. Kimmel said. “Like he’s a big baby? I don’t see it.”

Trump has repeatedly called for Kimmel, a vocal critic, to be fired.

As David riles up the crowd, Washington tries to assure everyone that “a man of such poor character would never be elected president in the first place”, but a violent fight breaks out as the president looks on in horror. The episode ends there and an in memoriam card honoring Reiner appears on screen.

How ‘The Bear’ Season 5 Honored Rob Reiner After His Death

Reiner filmed the scene for “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Misfortune” on Nov. 13, just weeks before his death, director Jeff Schaffer told Variety. Schaffer also noted that it was helpful that the skit aired the day before the Fourth of July. “It’s coming out July 4 weekend, and if that somehow ruins some sad octogenarian’s weekend, then oh well,” he told Variety.

Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were both found dead in their Los Angeles home in December. Their son Nick Reiner was charged with the murders. He pleaded not guilty.

Reiner, a longtime Democratic activist, has been a vocal critic of Trump, telling Variety in 2017 that he was “the least qualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States” and was “mentally unfit” for the role. After Reiner’s murder, Trump drew widespread criticism for blaming the director’s death on “TRUMP DERANGMENT SYNDROME.” Amid backlash, Trump doubled down, telling the White House that he “wasn’t a fan” of Reiner and calling him “a deranged person when it comes to Trump.”

Reiner’s son, Jake Reiner, also makes an appearance in “Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Misfortune,” and he was released during the series premiere in June.

Rob Reiner’s appearance on David’s series comes after “The Bear” recently returned for its final season on June 25, with his character not making an appearance. But he was referenced in the final episodes of the series, filmed after his death.

Speaking with USA TODAY, star Jeremy Allen White recalled working with “the incredibly generous [and] “incredibly nice star in past seasons”.[He was] so playful and curious, engaged. Really happy to be there.”
