“A big part of my recovery was the show,” he told the audience at the Regency Village Theater in Westwood. “It set up a huge milestone for me to get better, to make sure our hard work wasn’t for naught. I overdid myself, didn’t I? Like there’s no alternative. For me, it It was easy because I had somewhere to go and somewhere to point and I loved it, man.
Reiner thanked his family and his 10-year-old daughter Ava for their unwavering support when he said, “Some of the people who were part of saving my life and keeping me alive breathing are here. A lot of people.” are here to support the show and many are here to support the live part of it.
Some recipients of the “Renovation” vehicle were also in attendance, including staff and children from Chicago’s The Base, which received a mobile music studio in the first episode of the series.
Jimmy Kimmel, who moderated the Q&A, said that a group show’s subjects coming together to create something extraordinary “is what you do individually.”
“You just have to put one foot in front of the other and then you walk,” said Reiner, who used a scooter to zip down the aisle for Q&A and used a cane on the red carpet. ,[That’s] Where I am physically in my life right now, but it only takes one step to take the next step. And I want him to be an inspiration to people because anyone can do it. And that’s why I’m doing the show.
Rainer laughed at Kimmel’s joke that he “got in a fight with a snowman in Reno or something,” and even poked fun at himself.
When Kimmel asked what was going to happen to the snowplow that nearly killed him, the actor admitted, “My mom wants to set it on fire and have a big old party. [But] I love this thing and it is a necessity with these huge snow storms. I just need to learn how to run it better.”
