Farewell, Pops.
On Friday, April 2, ABC revealed that the final The Goldbergs episode starring George Segal, who passed away on March 23, will air April 7. Since 2013, Segal has played Albert “Pops” Solomon on the ABC sitcom, which also stars Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jeff Garlin, Sean Giambrone, Troy Gentile, Hayley Orrantia and more.
In a new teaser below, the network noted, “It has been eight wonderful seasons with Pops. Join us for the final episode with the legendary George Segal. A special new Goldbergs.”
