Biography

After attending Punahou School, Reiplinger began performing professionally. In 1974 he helped create the comedy ensemble Booga Booga with James Grant Benton and Ed Kaʻahea. In 1982, he received an Emmy Award and bronze medal from the International Film and Television Festival of New York for the "Most Outstanding Television Production" for his television special, Rap′s Hawaii, which he wrote and starred in.

Reiplinger's writing, performance, and comic genius was part of the second Hawaiian Renaissance of the 1970s and 1980s.[2]

Reiplinger was married to television journalist Leesa Clark Stone from October 25, 1983 until his death on January 19, 1984.[3] Reiplinger died in 1984 from cocaine-related causes at the age of 33 after going missing for a week.[4]
