If You're Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast is a 2017 American documentary film directed by Danny Gold that premiered on May 19, 2017 on HBO.
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]
