My Tribute to Carl Reiner


Comic genius Carl Reiner passed away at age 98. My Carl Reiner memory has left a lasting impression of a true Mensch.  At age 14 a friend and I traveled by bus from Dunellen, New Jersey to Times Square where we watched "Sid Caeser's Your Show of Shows." We went backstage afterwards where I conducted a mock interview with Howie Morris, Sid Caeser, Nanette Fabray, and Carl Reiner.  Carl Reiner was a true gentleman asking us how we liked the show and how I was doing in high school. How did we get backstage? I told the Security Guard that I was a high school reporter and needed to conduct a cast interview. Thank you Carl Reiner and may you rest in peace.

Surprise, Surprise. Is it Fed-Ex knocking at your front door with a cardboard box?

Nope. It's our Mime with a colorful and wacky balloon bouquet for a baby shower, birthday, anniversary or your reason to celebrate. Yes, she "zooms."  Questions? Call or e-mail. Consider Celebrity Gems as part of your team.

Be creative with celebrations

We need to dance, jump up and down, and celebrate. Entertainment adds a memorable touch to anniversaries, birthdays, and awards. Be creative-a surprise with a top hat and tails balloon artist with a rainbow bouquet; a Diana Ross impersonator sings "Stop in the Name of Love," and Michael Jackson performs to"Thriller." Questions? We're on your team when you plan your next celebration.
