"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," O'Brien said in an interview for " The New Yorker Radio Hour " podcast. "I mean, there's no other word for it. It's just very - it's so awful. It's just so awful."
"I think about how Rob felt about things that are happening in the country, how involved he was, how much he put himself out there - and to have that voice go quiet in an instant is still hard for me to comprehend," O'Brien told The New Yorker."
"To make seven - in, like, a nine-year, 10-year, 11-year period - is insanity," O'Brien said."
Rob and Michele Reiner were found stabbed to death hours after attending a December 13 holiday party at Conan O'Brien's home. Conan O'Brien said he was in shock after saying good night to the Reiners and learning the next day of their deaths. Their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, was arrested the following night and charged with murdering his parents. Two party attendees reported hearing a loud verbal exchange between Nick and his parents. O'Brien described the Reiners as lovely, praised Rob Reiner's directing career and advocacy, and said losing his voice felt incomprehensible.
