 The documentary hosted by comedy legend Carl Reiner, "If You're Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast" will be airing exclusively on HBO on June 6 at 8 p.m. EST. The film celebrates the art of enjoying life after 90. Reiner's nephew, George Shapiro is the producer and Danny Gold is the director.

In the heartwarming documentary, host Carl Reiner tracks down such celebrated nonagenarians and centenarians as Mel Brooks, Dick Van Dyke, Kirk Douglas, Norman Lear, and Betty White. They show that the later years can truly be the happiest and more rewarding.

Though they aren't the only ones in the film, it also features Stan Lee, Patricia Morison, Harriette Thompson (she's the oldest woman to run and finish a marathon), Ida Keeling, Tao Porchon-Lynch (a yoga teacher who marched with Gandhi), and Jim "Pee Wee" Marin (who fought in D-Day and still parachutes.).

The opening song for "If You're Not in the Obit, Eat Breakfast" is performed by Tony Bennett. The song is "The Best Is Yet to Come."

The documentary will also be available on HBO NOW, HBO GO, and  HBO On Demand.
