Simon Rich and God parted ways on the upcoming sitcom “Miracle Workers” over some creative differences. Well, Rich and the guy playing God, Owen Wilson, did.
Rich explained why Wilson was no longer involved with the TBS comedy at a panel during the Television Critics Association press tour on Thursday.
Well, after Steve Buscemi — who replaced Wilson as the Lord in the heaven-set workplace comedy — jokingly shouted “WHAT?” when a reporter asked about Wilson’s exit.
“Owen was attached really early in preproduction to this project and we just had different creative visions for the show and parted ways,” the executive producer said.
