Conan O'Brien is breaking his silence on the total shock of the death of close friends Rob Reiner and wife Michele Singer Reiner.
Conan O'Brien has broken his silence about the deaths of his good friends, director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner.
The venerated Hollywood couple's Dec. 14 killing occurred the morning after they attended a holiday party at O'Brien's Los Angeles house.
O'Brien, 62, who is hosting the March 15 Academy Awards, addressed the deeply personal loss in a Feb. 20 New Yorker interview.
"They were just such lovely people," said O'Brien. "And to have that experience of saying good night to somebody and having them leave and then find out the next day that they're gone. … I think I was in shock for quite a while afterward. I mean, there's no other word for it. It's just very – it's so awful. It's just so awful."
The couple's son Nick Reiner, 32, is charged with the double murder of his parents and is due in Los Angeles Superior Court for an arraignment hearing on Monday, Feb. 23.
