The disgraced actor reportedly wouldn’t stop saying “oh, my vagina” at work has a new job. So who’s the lucky cast that can take Jeff Garlin’s raunchy punch-ups? We will, Never have I ever won’t be able to claim “Jeff Garlin Hired” as something it never did. Garlin jumps from his cozy performance The Goldbergswhere he collected remnants of 205 episodes, for Mindy Kaling’s Never have I ever fourth season on Netflix.
After multiple complaints and internal investigations, Garlin and Sony Television have made a mutually beneficial decision to remove the Goldbergscast and crew of more Garlin. “There has been an HR investigation on me for the past three years,” Garlin said Vanity purse in 2021. “HR has come to me three years in a row because of my behavior on set.” So the cast and crew of The Goldbergs will have no more Garlin to complain about, nor will they have to keep hearing heartfelt excuses like “[A]If comedian offends anyone by what I’m saying, all I can say is I’m sorry. OK?” Or, as Garlin’s former co-star Wendi McLendon-Covey put it on Twitter: “This season confused us because a.) it’s hard to shoot someone who doesn’t want to be there and leave mid-scene, and b.) we weren’t about to rewrite the 2nd half of the season.”
So the show gave Garlin his wish, and his character was killed off the show, and so production went ahead to add a gruesome digital Jeff Garlin to the show’s wedding episode. Garlin 2.0 crawled right out of the pits of the uncanny valley and has been haunting television viewers’ nightmares ever since, sneaking into their dreams and screaming “oh, my vagina” at them.
And like the sleeping children who hope the Sandman won’t conjure Garlin, Never have I ever can now count the actor as their issue. According to Variety, Garlin will play, what else, “a sweet man who makes a mean sandwich.” What can we say? He was just the only person who could bring that role to life.
