Wendi Maclendon: Last News

Well, The Goldbergs is giving fans what they want! Or, well, at least it’s giving them the lesser of two evils?

There’s a new mockumentary style TV series set in a hospital coming to NBC!

Zack 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. 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.”

Jeff Garlin left his hit TV series, and yet somehow Murray Goldberg is still making appearances…
