Segal's final episode of \"The Goldbergs\" is set to air April 7. Because he played such an integral role on the 80s-set sitcom, it's possible his death will be addressed in the show, but that has yet to be confirmed.

In a statement released Wednesday, the show's \"devastated\" cast noted of Segal, \"He was kind, sweet, beyond talented and funny,\" and that the \"national treasure\" and Oscar-nominated actor \"was the true epitome of class and he touched all of our lives so deeply.\"

Their tribute said it was \"an honor and a privilege to have him as a colleague and friend all of these years.\"
