Jeff Garlin mocked 'The Goldbergs' during stand-up set weeks before leaving the sitcom

Jeff Garlin reportedly railed against “The Goldbergs” for being too politically correct weeks before he left the show amid HR investigations into his behavior.

Variety alleges that the decision between Garlin and the series to part ways with one another came after a Nov. 24 standup set he did at the Hollywood Improv that largely focused on his time on "The Goldbergs." The outlet reports that Garlin told the audience repeatedly that he hated working on the show and was only continuing in his role of Murray Goldberg in order to collect a paycheck. 

At the time, Garlin reportedly said that conditions for comedians have gotten too politically correct and explained to the crowd what he would tell a Vanity Fair writer weeks later, that he was the subject of disciplinary action at "The Goldbergs" for, among other things, using the word "vagina" frequently on set.
