Strange Questions at a Star‑Studded Party

Hours before his parents were found dead, Nick Reiner reportedly acted in a way that unsettled guests at Conan O’Brien’s Christmas party. According to multiple news reports, Reiner repeatedly approached celebrities with the same three unusual questions:

• “What’s your name?”

• “What’s your last name?”

• “Are you famous?”

These questions weren’t typical party small talk. Instead, they stood out as odd and intrusive in a setting filled with well‑known actors and filmmakers. Refusing to take hints, Reiner kept asking these questions even after others tried to move on.

Tension With Guests and Removal

As the night went on, multiple reports state that several attendees — including actor Bill Hader — were put off by the repetitive and awkward interactions. Sources say Reiner interrupted conversations and made people uncomfortable before he was eventually asked to leave the event.

At one point, Reiner stood silently after being told he was interrupting a private discussion, prompting onlookers to describe the moment as tense and unsettling.

What Happened Next

The unusual behavior at the party came shortly before tragedy struck. Less than 24 hours after leaving the event, Reiner’s parents — filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner — were found dead in their Los Angeles home. Nick Reiner was arrested and later charged with their murders.

Reiner is currently in custody and represented by attorney Alan Jackson, a high‑profile defense lawyer. His arraignment has been postponed.

Context and Public Reaction

Guests described the questions as strange not only because of their repetition, but also because Reiner was reportedly not dressed like other attendees and seemed disconnected from normal party dynamics. Some sources suggest his behavior stirred concern and discomfort among Hollywood insiders.

Investigators and the public are still piecing together the events of that night and the next. As more details emerge from the ongoing investigation, the three questions remain one of the most bizarre moments linked to the case.
