Yesterday brought the tragic news that beloved actor George Segal, best known for appearing in films like Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and shows like Just Shoot Me! and The Goldbergs had passed away. Just one day after his passing was confirmed a new episode of the hit ABC series premiered, featuring quite a bit of Segal as “Pops.” As the episode wrapped up an “In Memoriam” title card appeared on screen with an image of Segal in character and a brief tribute to his life (which you can find below). It remains to be seen if Segal had completed his filming on the new season of the series or how many more episodes he will appear in.
Today we lost a legend. It was a true honor being a small part of George Segal’s amazing legacy. By pure fate, I ended up casting the perfect person to play Pops. Just like my grandfather, George was a kid at heart with a magical spark. I think these memories say it all… pic.twitter.com/D1aNZuT20e
