ABC’s The Goldbergs aired an original episode tonight, which was dedicated to series’ star George Segal who died Tuesday in Santa Rosa, CA, of complications from bypass surgery. He was 87.
The new episode, which featured Segal, ended with an In Memoriam video card that included Segal’s photo as his Goldbergs character and his year of birth and year of death (1934-2021). You can watch it below.
For the past eight years, Segal was a series regular on ABC’s 1980s-set family comedy, playing as Albert “Pops” Solomon, Beverly’s (Wendi McLendon-Covey) laid-back widower father and a World War II Veteran. The last episode he filmed before his death, Episode 16 of the show’s current eighth season, is set to air April 7. It is unclear whether his character’s death will be addressed this season as The Goldbergs is shooting its season finale this week. It has not been renewed for Season 9 yet.
