The celebration marked the first time in the 90-year history of the imprint ceremonies at the TCL Chinese Theatre -- originally Grauman's Chinese Theatre -- that a father and son had been honored together. The event was part of the TCM Classic Film Festival.
"Few fathers and sons are as accomplished as Carl and Rob, and none are as funny," Turner Classic Movies host Ben Mankiewicz said.
Carl Reiner, 95, started out as a Broadway performer, getting his television break when he joined Sid Caesar and Imogene Coca on the live variety series "Your Show of Shows."
He shot to fame as the creator of hit situation comedy "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and went on to direct iconic Steve Martin features "The Jerk," "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" and "The Man with Two Brains," as well as John Candy's "Summer Rental."
More recently, he appeared in "Ocean's 11" and its sequels, and still appears regularly on television shows such as "Boston Legal," "Family Guy" and "Hot in Cleveland."
Rob Reiner, 70, rose to fame portraying Archie Bunker's notoriously liberal son-in-law Michael "Meathead" Stivic on CBS sitcom "All in the Family," created by veteran producer Norman Lear, who attended Friday's ceremony.
But he went on to make a greater impact as a director, hitting it big with the 1984 mockumentary "This is Spinal Tap," in which he also starred -- a movie still considered a milestone in comedy cinema.
