    Not a fan of “The Goldbergs,” it was a reductionist view of the 80s. Also, she and Jimmy and I are the same age, and my comedy heroes were Buster Keaton, the Marx Brothers, Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks, et cetera.

    The Goldbergs is a lovely show. I’m going to miss it. It’s silly and fun and full of heart and there’s just enough of 80s trivia without being too overbearing. Of course the characters are larger than life especially hers. That’s what made it so funny. She played the very best s’mother ever.

    I grew up with Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Mary Tylor Moore, and more great people.

    Jimmy laughing at her crying about George Segal is incredibly insensitive.

    When Kimmel actually get along with a guest but knows it isn’t good TV. Wendi and James here get real.
