“On behalf of everyone at The Goldbergs we are devastated at the loss of our dear friend, George,” the show’s cast and crew said in a statement. “He was kind, sweet, beyond talented and funny. George was the true epitome of class and he touched all of our lives so deeply. It was an honor and a privilege to have him as a colleague and friend all of these years. It is no surprise to any of us that knew him so well that he is a true national treasure. He will be missed by all. POPS, we will miss your banjo playing and your infectious laugh. Rest in peace.”
This followed a previous tweet from The Goldbergs on Twitter that read: “For eight years, George Segal made us laugh as Pops on The Goldbergs, but his legacy in the entertainment world spans decades. His talent has left an indelible mark and we’re grateful for the laughter and joy he has given us all. Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with his wife, Sonia, and his family during this difficult time.”

Segal’s last episode filmed before his death, the 16th episode of season 8, will air on April 7. It’s not yet clear if The Goldbergs crew will be writing Pops out of the show, or if his death will be addressed this season. This week, the cast and crew will be shooting the finale for season 8, and the future of the show is still uncertain as it hasn’t yet been renewed for season 9. Rest in peace, George Segal.
