A day after Hollywood — and the world — were shocked by the senseless murder of Reiner and his wife Michele Reiner, Seinfeld co-creator, star and executive producer Jerry Seinfeld paid tribute to the show’s backer and champion. “Next to Larry David and George Shapiro, Rob Reiner had the biggest influence on my career,” Seinfeld wrote in an Instagram post, referencing his Seinfeld co-creator/executive producer David and his longtime manager Shapiro who also executive produced the sitcom.
