Last week, ABC and Sony Pictures Television mutually decided with Jeff Garlin that the actor will part ways with The Goldbergs effective immediately. He was accused of creating an uncomfortable work environment because of bad jokes.
Even though he is no longer filming any new episodes of the series, we will still see his character, Murray, throughout the remainder of the season? How? According to Variety, they will do this “by using off-camera dialogue pulled from earlier episodes and unused takes, as well as previously shot images of Garlin. There won’t be deep fake images, nor any face replacement.”
The best part for Garlin is that he will be paid for the remaining seven episodes even though he won’t be showing up to work. That is great work if you can get it. He is getting paid to do nothing. That will teach him a lesson.
The Goldbergs is currently filming the 9th season’s 15th and 16th episodes. That means the exes at ABC have about seven episodes to decide if they want to cancel one of their higher-rated shows. A show that has been long past its expiration date.
