Premise
If You're Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast follows Carl Reiner as he poses the question, "'What's the secret to living into your 90s – and loving every minute of it?' Reiner tracks down several celebrated nonagenarians, and a few others over 100, to show how the twilight years can truly be the happiest and most rewarding. Jerry Seinfeld — who’s already reserved the stage at Caesar’s Palace for his 100th birthday show — is also in the film, as is longevity expert Dan Buettner."[1]
