How did Chelsea Handler pay tribute to Rob Reiner? Critics Choice monologue explored

American comedian and actress Chelsea Handler paid tribute to Rob Reiner and Michele Reiner in her recent Critics' Choice Awards monologue. Calling Rob the nicest guy, she said:

"Everyone in this room knows that the nicest guy in Hollywood was Rob Reiner. Anyone who ever spent time with Rob Reiner knows that the minute you met him, he felt like an old friend. When you were in a conversation with him, he was present, and he was focused, and he was funny, and he would ask you tons of questions; whether you were discussing politics or film or the latest beauty trends, he was all in."

Chelsea Handler continued:

"After I sent him a text thanking him for dinner a few months ago, he texted me back and said, "We had so much fun with you last night. Thanks for explaining so much about plastic surgery." It was very edifying."

The awards were held on January 4 in the Barker Hangar situated in Santa Monica, California.

Chelsea Handler honors Rob and Michele's message of decency

Chelsea Handler was announced as the host of this year's Critics' Choice Awards. She has also been nominated for a Grammy for the Best Comedy Album titled Evolution in the past.

During her monologue about Rob and Michele, Chelsea Handler talked about what the couple stood for, saying:

"Rob and Michele were tireless in their efforts to so many important causes, all stemming from one basic idea: decency. That we should all look out for each other, and I think we can all agree that we definitely need more of that. So let's use tonight as a reminder of that decency and a reminder of everything Rob and Michele represented and fought so hard for."

The audience present at the awards show didn't hold back to cheer and applaud for Chelsey, who remembered the late Rob and Michele Reiner, who were killed in their house last month.

According to the District Attorney's office, Rob's son Nick was charged with:

"Two counts of murder with the special circumstance allegation of multiple murders. He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, a knife."
