After being a radio announcer in the 1930s, Reimers worked as a newscaster at KTTV in Los Angeles. He also was host of Movieland Matinee on KTTV.^[2]

Reimers narrated several episodes of the first Brian Keith series, Crusader, which aired on CBS from 1955 to 1956^[3] and was one of three announcers during the 12-year run of Pantomime Quiz on television.^[3]: 808

Reimers was also the original announcer for Do You Trust Your Wife? when Edgar Bergen hosted, but was replaced by Bob LeMond in the fall of 1956. He appeared as Admiral Fitzpatrick in 1967 in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Trouble with Tribbles" and also reprised the pivotal role via archival footage in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations".

Reimers is perhaps best known, though, as spokesman for the Allstate Corporation in their long-running series of television commercials in the United States, advising viewers that they were "in good hands with Allstate."^[2] Reimers was the TV spokesman for Allstate for 22 years, from 1957 until 1979.^[4]
