Jeff Garlin’s ‘Goldbergs’ Exit Was ‘A Long Time Coming,’ Says Wendi McLendon-Covey: ‘Finally Someone Is Listening to Us’
variety.comZack Sharf Digital News Director Wendi McLendon-Covey said during a recent interview with Andy Cohen for SiriusXM that Jeff Garlin’s exit from “The Goldbergs” was “a long time coming.” The two comedians headlined the ABC sitcom from its 2013 debut until December 2021, when Garlin was fired from the show 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.
