Wendy McLendon-Covey is 'exhausted' by Jeff Garlin's TheGoldbergs exit: 'That was a long time coming. That it finally happened, it was like, 'Ok, finally someone is listening to us.''
after a series of HR investigations into his alleged misconduct on set.
“That was a long time coming,” McLendon-Covey said. “That it finally happened, it was like, ‘Ok, finally someone is listening to us. But that was kind of hard though because we had lost George Segal in real life. To have to go through another loss on a sitcom…you can’t keep asking your audience to mourn people. That’s not why they tune in.”
When Cohen asked if Garlin’s exit from the series was the result of complaints made over a long period of time, McLendon-Covey responded, “Yes.” “If we could not talk about that, that would be great,” she then politely requested. “I’m exhausted by that topic and the PTSD of it all. I just feel like the less people know about that, the better. No one benefits from knowing anything.”
“The Goldbergs” was in the middle of filming its ninth season when Garlin was fired. He did not complete his work on the remainder of the season, which forced the production team to come up with methods to keep his character on the show in a reduced capacity.
