Rob Reiner’s Emmy Legacy and Tribute Moments | Salt Lake City News

Rob Reiner’s posthumous Emmy win for his “The Bear” guest spot stunned the room—presented by emotional Jamie Lee Curtis, who called him funny, kind, and a true friend. The award also shattered records, marking the longest gap between Emmys ever (48 years since his first for “All in the Family”). The ceremony honored many lost stars in a moving In Memoriam segment, though some like Chuck Norris and Nicholas Brendon were notably left out. Tributes also spotlighted Catherine O’Hara and Dolly Parton: Sally Field and Reba McEntire celebrated Dolly’s generosity and humor, with Reba performing one of her songs; Macaulay Culkin, Annie Murphy, and Dan Levy paid heartfelt homage to O’Hara, praising her warmth, wit, and fearless embrace of new roles. A powerful reminder of how deeply these artists touched both the industry and countless lives. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
