After All in the Family, Reiner produced and starred in an unsold pilot called The TV Show, a sketch comedy concept with a cast of future stars including Crystal, Christopher Guest, Michael McKean, and Harry Shearer. ABC showed the pilot, but showed no interest in picking up the series. A few years later, Reiner, Guest, McKean, and Shearer made This Is Spinal Tap, with Crystal in a cameo role, launching Reiner's directorial career.

Reiner is ... active in environmental issues, and successfully led the effort to establish California’s Ahmanson Ranch as a state park and wildlife refuge rather than a commercial real estate development. On 7 July 2007, Reiner introduced Spinal Tap at the London Live Earth concert.
