Never imagined I’d create a show worthy of an Emmy. And the best part is I made it with the most collaborative, amazing writers and crew ever. I’d truly trade this statue for a 2nd season, but PLEASE believe me when I say this is just the start of the muppet-verse. For real.
This ROCKS!! Congratulations to the cast and crew of
#TheMuppetsMayhem
, winner of the Children's and Family Emmy Award for Outstanding Children's or Family Viewing Series! 🤘🎸🌟

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...
One of my greatest joys of working on The Goldbergs for the first 6 seasons was writing Adam and Pops stories. My grandpa was my confidant & hero. It was an honor to watch the same relationship develop between George and Sean. You could just feel the love when they were together.
My heart is broken. I lost a dear friend. Working with George was an honor and some of the happiest moments of my life. What a sweet & wonderful man. He was my confidant & teacher. When he smiled it changed my day. I wish everyone could have met him. Prayers are with the family.
The most important person in our country has been sent to the hospital today. As his biggest fan and supporter, I send Rick Moranis all the good vibes in my body. The country is united. You deserve better.
#JusticeForMoranis
All I can say is I owe every one of the
@goldnerds
a giant hug. Writing about my family has been wonderful, but writing about my teachers has been a true honor. I thank you all for continuing to stick with our hour block of 80s and 90s insanity. Oh sweet Ballssssss!
For the first time I’m six years,
@TheGoldbergsABC
was the highest rated scripted show and
@SchooledABC
has been the highest rated new comedy on ABC. Sony and ABC are in talks for more seasons so hang in there.
@Goldnerds
never say die!!!
Two months ago, George Segal called an emergency meeting.
Me: What's wrong, George!?
GS: I had fabulous idea! We do a "Who's on First" routine!
ME: Is...that it?
GS: Yep! The fans will love it!
ME: So...is there anything else?
GS: No. I just love our show.
And I love you George.
I'm breaking protocol, but wanted the
@goldnerds
to hear it from me.
@SchooledABC
won't get a season 3. Big hugs to our brilliant cast, crew & writers. I'm beyond grateful to Karey Burke and
@ABCNetwork
for giving us 35 episodes to show that teachers like CB are the real heroes.
Yes, Rick Springfield wrote hit songs. But he also has an original rocket-firing Boba Fett! Today he told me a story about the time he evacuated his home during a fire and frantically loaded his car with his beloved Star Wars figures. I declare him the greatest rock star ever!!!
Because Rick Moranis left movies in 1997, it seems way too many people have an issue as to why I hold him in such high regard. EVERYONE needs to watch him in:
-SCTV
-Strange Brew
-Ghostbusters
-Spaceballs!!!!
You will understand why this man is a treasure.

Hey
@goldnerds
! January 9th at 8:00 is the big wedding episode of
@thegoldbergsabc
! Thanks to our producer Adam Sandler, my 80s family actually meets the 80s most infamous WEDDING SINGER! This is my favorite episode EVER. At 8:30 we premiere
@SchooledABC
and I am so proud of it!!
Hey
@goldnerds
! Question! In our next episode, we shot a bit that gives an epic shout-out to my favorite John Lovitz joke in The Wedding Singer. When I screened the scene, it was deemed too bizarre and random and would baffle all of America. So I ask you, should I have kept it?
Writing
@TheGoldbergsABC
has been amazing, but nothing makes me happier than this video. I spent my childhood making dumb movies with my best pal Chad Kremp and now he's an actor on my show. I can't describe the joy I get by making him say absurd lines. Chadam forever,
@ChadKremp
We finally just won the jawn!!!!Congrats to our
@Eagles
. And congrats to my big brother Barry. Today is his favorite day on earth. Literally.

#TheGoonies
. For the last 9 years I’ve been secretly writing PART 2 for fun. It’s my masterpiece. I even had a big meeting scheduled with Richard Donner… canceled 'cause of the lockdown! THE GOONIES 2 WILL happen when life resumes. Promise!!!
While the network and studio continue to debate contract stuff I don’t understand, I can officially announce that another hour long block of 1980something and 1990something is on the way!!!!!! Begin the

#thegoldbergs
Like any 80s kid, The Bangles played on a loop in my house and I got the embarrassing video to prove it. If only the lonely four-eyed geek in this clip knew that one day
@SusannaHoffs
would rock"The Golden Girls" theme song for a TV show about his bonkers family...
#TheGoldbergs
Holy Balls!!!! Twitter is amazing. It's rare, but in this case I had no photo or video proof that my Dad's car was flipped off the mountain. Within minutes, this was tweeted to my mom! I wish I had this for the episode, but thrilled a photo has been dug up after all these years!!
Tomorrow at 8:00 pm is the season 7 premiere of
@TheGoldbergsABC
. Beverly goes full Clark Griswold and plans a road trip to the happiest place on earth. And guess what!? So did my real mom!
@wendimclendonco
has been asking for a Vacation homage for years! It was worth the wait!
TV fans really can really make a difference -- especially when they tweet me every day demanding a cookbook from my mom. Thrilled to see her lifelong dream finally come true. Thanks to you all, the world is going to eat ALOT more cheese. Pre-order now:
My brother Barry literally arranged his wedding around an
@Eagles
game. Yesterday he reunited with his childhood friends known as the JTP to take on the TV JTP. His 80s hero Mike Quick was the QB. This shall count as every single birthday gift for the rest of time.
#JTPbowl
It's official! The Goonies house is sold! I am proud to have been the backup offer. I just had an amazing chat with the new lucky owner who is a fellow 80s-loving kindred spirit and also the nicest dude on the planet. The house is in great hands with a fellow super fan. EPIC!!!
That’s a wrap on season 1 of Muppets Mayhem!!! Disney, please don’t be mad at me for posting this photo! We truly had the most wonderful cast and crew who worked so hard to bring the world a show filled with laughs and joy. Can’t wait for everyone to see it.
#Mayhead4Life
Just got off a plane to find many tweets about Barry and Lainey. Season 5 has been my favorite season... but I got some huge things planned for next year. See you all in the fall, amazing
@goldnerds
!
Beyond thrilled that I get to write about my teachers in 1990something and that the amazing Lainey
@alyandaj
will be at the center in the new version. This happened cause the
@goldnerds
kept bringing this up to ABC for the last 2 years! So THANK YOU all for the undying support!
Big news for
#TheGoldbergs
creator
@adamfgoldberg
: His 1990s-set spinoff has been picked up to series at ABC, with AJ Michalka joining stars
@bryancallen
and Tim Meadows. Details:
Oh balls! Lost track of time and missed some live tweeting! The season premiere of
@TheGoldbergsABC
is on as we speak! And look! I made Sean wear my favorite T-shirt I wore to the happiest place on earth when I was a kid!
Me: I'm doing an episode about the time you threw out the first pitch at the Phillies game!
Barry: Well, hire a pitching coach so Troy looks as good as me.
Me: No.
Barry: But I'm a lefty and Troy isn't!
Me: So!?
Barry: SO do it right or don't do it at all!
CLICK.
#HiringCoach
It may be their Goldbergs finale, but they also just aired a sneak peek of a show I did write premiering May 10th on D+! Like The Gbergs season 1 to 6, I poured my heart & soul into Muppets Mayhem. I'm so proud of this one and excited I have a show again to debate with the old…
How I rank 'em:
-Empire Strikes Back
-A New Hope
-Rise of Skywalker
-Rogue One
-Return of the Jedi
-The Force Awakens
-Solo
-Last Jedi
-Revenge of the Sith
-The Phantom Menace
-SW Holiday Special
-Clone Wars Movie
-Attack of the Clones
(If I were including Mandalorian it'd be
#3
)
Yes, I live and breathe
@starwars
. I know with each new one, I say it’s the greatest one ever. But
#Solo
delivers in every way. Funny, suspenseful, emotional, a truly epic origin story. If this film doesn’t make your heart happy, then just give up on watching movies.
#kesselrun
It seems mom has 50k followers and just got verified on twitter. I truly underestimated the Yenta Nation. You are strong. May you all never stop smothering your kids, over-cheesing your food and returning any item to Target, even if you have no receipt and it's 15 years old.
Fact. The minute I learned Barry had the flu and had to stay home from going to the Super Bowl I knew the
@Eagles
would win so he could spend the next 50 years complaining that he missed the greatest game of his life. And here we are!
#FlyEagleFly
I still collect toys, robits and action figures. So many people judge this hobby as silly and juvenile. All I can say is... it brings me joy. This is why I love the
@goldnerds
fans. Even though we're grown ups, we refuse to grow up and ignore what makes us truly happy.
#ToyJoy
I had a blast live tweeting the spin-off! So much epic confusion with people thinking the Goldbergs moved or the show is over. I PROMISE you the OG show is back next month. Season 6 is a go! A million thanks to the
@goldnerds
who watched! Leave your comments on our facebook page!
15 years ago I met
@rejectedjokes
and knew he was destined for big things. He just moved to LA and I let him crash at my place. I read audition sides with him. We wrote a remake of Brewster's Millions because it was public domain. He kept me laughing 24-7. It's been a true joy…
The great
@adamfgoldberg
texted me and asked if I wanted to be in an episode of The Muppets Mayhem on
@DisneyPlus
, to which I excitedly replied do I get to do a scene with a Muppet? He said how about Animal. I filled to the brim with joy. Here's a piece of my scene WITH ANIMAL!
One of the joys of watching
@TheGoldbergsABC
is seeing, at the end, which scene from the show came, verbatim, from
@adamfgoldberg
’s childhood videos. But the one from last night’s so (“The Wedding Singer”) just melted my mind. Good. God. Did not see that coming.
Yes. That's the real life Beverly dropping an F bomb at the end of the show tonight with her real lifelong friends. It's was yenta overload on set that week!!!
#TheGoldbergs
Tonight’s episode of
@TheGoldbergsABC
was writing by me and my once high school drama teacher Susan Cinoman! It was a true honor having her in the writer’s room watching her pitch jokes for... her TV self.
#surreal
Hey, mom
@goldilocks405
! Remember that time when your oldest child lied to you and said he was studying and actually took your car to the Poconos and accidentally flipped it off a mountain? I made an episode about it!

@wendimclendonco
Thank you sweetheart you finally acknowledged my efforts. Only took 30 years. Hope you don’t have to wait that long for your kids to thank you
Dear
@newlinecinema
, if the new Halloween movie showed us anything this weekend... it's that the world NEEDS horror movie villains. Robert said he'd never be Freddy again, but had so much fun when we shot he's now open to it. I did my job, now you do yours!
#TheGoldbergs
No spoilers here. All I'll say is please don't listen to the critics.
#TheRiseofSkywalker
is an epic conclusion filled with heart, emotion and INSANE lightsaber battles. It made me cheer and gasp and cry and want to give Chewie a big-ass hug. You did your job,
@jjabrams
. KUDOS.
SEASON 1
ME: Please be a cameo on the show?
BARRY: Bro, that will NEVER happen.
SEASON 5
ME: Will you come on the show to play football with the JTP and have Mike Quick be QB and get rings from the
@Eagles
GM and President?
BARRY: Dammit, you suck. Yes.
I believe
@wendimclendonco
has been asking for a Vacation ep since season 2! I'd love for the mighty
@goldnerds
to pitch me other 80s classics for us to tackle. Sadly, we already did The Goonies, Highlander and Rad which are my 3 faves from back in the day. Let's hear it!
Not when you’ve set a show in 1980something! Barry was a senior in high school for three years before most people even noticed!
#twentyseasonsandaspinoff
Attention 80s/90s kids! If you watch one thing this pandemic... why not have it be a documentary I produced on the rise of Nickelodeon and its glory days! Just got word THE ORANGE YEARS will be demand on NOV 17. Mark it down - check it out- and get slimed!
Endless thanks to everyone who watched our 80’s/90’s comedy hour.
@TheGoldbergsABC
was the
#1
comedy of the night and
@SchooledABC
improved for the 2nd straight week in viewers, the most watched ep since the premiere! We just shot the Schooled season finale. Check out the title!
I'm SO proud of the insane geek moments on my show that really don't belong on a network comedy... which is why I asked Peter Cullen (Optimus Prime!) to do the VO for this trailer. BTW -- tomorrow we air our epic DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince homage ep!
Beyond relieved to see this bearded face this morning. Kevin went from doing The Flash to direct The Goldbergs finale tomorrow while filming a standup special. Your super fans like me demand you recover fast and get back to doing what you do best. We adore you
@ThatKevinSmith
After the first show this evening, I had a massive heart attack. The Doctor who saved my life told me I had 100% blockage of my LAD artery (aka “the Widow-Maker”). If I hadn’t canceled show 2 to go to the hospital, I would’ve died tonight. But for now, I’m still above ground!
I 100% share Patton’s opinion on this. In a half hour we air what I think is the best episode of the whole series. Those who agree will come from a loud nutty family like mine... but I do think everyone will appreciate what it means to go to dinner with your parents.
#BigPortions
Tomorrow's
@TheGoldbergsABC
is one of the best eps they've ever done. Set entirely inside a restaurant while they try to have dinner. You WILL experience 80's chain restaurant PTSD watching this one.
So many of the Goldnerds ask me - "Can The Goldbergs be an hour?" Now it is! I am beyond proud of Schooled, which premieres January 9th!
#1990something
Oh! Also this happened! Endless thanks to Disney and ABC Studios, I now get to play in the ultimate toy chest. In addition to writing about my smother and teachers, I can now make the shows for all us 80s. Muppets! Marvel! Tron! Indiana Jones! I welcome any ideas...
NAME THEM!
Marvel started the MCU with Iron Man. The plan is for The Mayhem to spark an epic Muppetverse... so I need your thoughts on what Muppet(s) deserve to get their own series???
There's been so many passionate (and panicked) worry on twitter and Facebook about Barry and Lainey's future. It's truly awesome to know we have such invested fans -- which is why I officially confirm that Big Tasty will be in several eps of
@schooled
. I promise it'll be epic.
Does this look like an appropriate father/son interaction to you? (I'm the son and I'm gleefully snapping photos as my Dad screams at me to stop being such a moron)
This week, the pandemic took a legend who taught at
@PennCharter
for decades. Joe Perrott was more than a teacher. He was your therapist. So happy Joe got to see Anthony Michael Hall play him perfectly on The Goldbergs, especially because Breakfast Club was his favorite movie.
It's completely true. I wish I had time to do the very real scene when the very angry administration explained that in a Quaker school students could not run around with wood shop swords screaming "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!"
Big news! I tried to wait out this damn pandemic to present Richard Donner THE GOONIES 2 in person… but I caved and set a zoom for for Fri. Never say die, people! The brilliant
@MBarnardArt
created all of my concept art. I don't want to give too much away but COOL!
@slashfilm
For years, my smother has demanded I take her to the Emmys one day. I never felt any panic because I never imagined I'd create a show awesome enough to deserve an award of any kind...
But The Muppets Mayhem just got SIX Emmy noms including best family series. OH YES BUT OH NO!!!
Tomorrow is the big Goldbergs/Wedding singer crossover event at 8:00 and at 8:30 we premiere
@SchooledABC
! It's so cool that people are taking time out of their busy days totally unprompted to declare themselves fans of the Goldbergs universe! Even Draco Malfoy from Syltherin!
Tonight at 8:00 on the
@TheGoldbergsABC
your most important question will be answered: why do we always run the stop sign on our street? I've waited 6 years for this! At 8:30 we have a Tamagotchi-filled episode of
@SchooledABC
. It's our one best yet and I'm BEYOND proud of it!
Wishing all the
@goldnerds
a happy May the 4th! Next week we air my favorite episode of the series. It's about Spaceballs and Star Wars and it features an actual lightsaber/Schwartz battle!!!
The
#BevVSchwab
battle is over. My mom met a yenta soul-mate at
@CharlesSchwab
who fixed everything. Thank you, Debbie! Both for the help and for listening to my mom complain for 2 hours how her kids don't call enough. FYI, beware of hackers! Never take a random call from a bank!
Writing tonight's episode of
@SchooledABC
was a highlight of the year for me. I wanted to thank
@Disney
and Lucasfilm for trusting me with it.
@starwars
is bigger than just one movie. It's about the community and it bonds so many people together. Let's keep it positive. Always.
And just when you thought it was humanly impossible for your mom to have any more insane 80s sweaters left in her closet.... three more boxes arrive.
#SmothersRule
So thrilled to have
@rickspringfield
on the show tonight. I have the highest praise for any rock star willing to act on a comedy and mangle his hit song with
@wendimclendonco
. This guy is the best!!!!
Last night ABC aired
@TheGoldbergsABC
spin-off show called Schooled. People were VERY confused. Don't worry, the original show about me being a nerd and my smother dropping F BOMBS will remain as is. I promise! That said, WE WERE THE
#1
SHOW ON TV LAST NIGHT???!
@goldnerds
RULE!
Truly feeling like a kid again as I open the 2018 GARBAGE PAIL KIDS series "We Hate the 80's". Still can't believe they made a set for
@TheGoldbergsABC
!!! If you were the kind of kid who collected these instead of baseball cards then you get how my head is spinning!!!

Trust me: The
#TheGoldbergs
' Indiana Jones was ABC's No. 1 comedy Wednesday, beating Modern Family in both viewers (5.6M vs. 5.2M) *and* A18-49 (1.5 vs. 1.4).
When I was a kid, I'd often find my Dad in his tightie whities eating Synder's hard pretzels out of a glass of milk like it was cereal. I wish my Dad was still around and could see that I've shared late night secret snack with the world!!!
I am posting this letter in honor of the
@TheGoldbergsABC
season 8 writers room starting today. Yes, I did write a time travel script with
@ChadKremp
. And yes, Spielberg DID reply!
Wishing the writers and
@ChrisPBishop
an epic season! Sorry in advance when Bev calls to complain.
It's amazing to see the epic twitter love for
@RickMoranis53
. (I don't even know if that's his actual twitter, the man is such an enigma!) Thrilled to know I'm not alone and Rick is a hero to so many 80s kids. He was a joy to work with and truly the nicest. Come back to us, Rick!
Huge thanks to the critic & fan love that got us 6 Emmy noms and a
#1
Billboard album. Mayhem was truly the most joyful and collaborative experience of my career. From day one all I've cared about is creating a Muppet-verse and YES I am already cooking up more Muppets with…
I wanted to give sincere thanks to the brilliant cast & crew of
@Muppets_Mayhem
. This will forever be the show I’m most proud of start to finish. Praying that 6 Emmy noms, a
#1
billboard album and 86%/95% on
@RottenTomatoes
means that Disney finally begins the epic Muppet-verse!!
I can't put into words how much of an inspiration Neil Simon was to geeky teenage me. I spent those years devouring his plays and obsessively writing my own. I even had the chance to act (very poorly) in Brighton Beach and it truly gave me the courage to write about my family...
Ever heard of this
@netflix
thing? Well, it's now streaming an epoc documentary I produced called THE POWER OF GRAYSKULL! It's all about the awesome history of He-Man from the cartoon to toys and beyond. Very proud of this one and people already dig it:
