His next Broadway show, the musical revue 'Alive and Kicking' (1950) was a flop, lasting just 43 performances.

Reiner made his Broadway debut in 1949 in the musical 'Inside U.S.A.', a hit that ran for 399 performances. He didn't appear on screen, silver or small, until he made his television debut in 1948 in the short-lived television series, The Fashion Story (1948), then became a regular, the following year, on The Fifty-Fourth Street Revue (1949), another television series with a brief life. (the movie shares the same plot as his erstwhile partner Mel Brooks' classic The Producers (1967), with a crooked producer planning to fleece his 'angels' by producing a flop and absconding with the money). In the 1970s, some sources claimed that Reiner made his movie debut in New Faces of 1937 (1937), but that is unlikely as he would have only been fifteen years old at the time. At the age of sixteen, while working as a sewing machine repairman, he attended a dramatic workshop sponsored by the Works Progress Administration. His father was an Austrian Jewish immigrant and his mother was a Romanian Jewish immigrant. Reiner was born in The Bronx, to Bessie (Mathias) and Irving Reiner, a watchmaker.

He also won a Grammy Award for his album 'The 2,000 Year Old Man', based on his comedy routine with Mel Brooks. He won nine Emmy Awards, three as an actor, four as a writer and two as a producer. Carl Reiner is a legend of American comedy, who achieved great success as a comic actor, a director, producer and recording artist.
