Damon Wayans’ Hit Series ‘Lethal Weapon’ In Jeopardy After Co-Star Fired From FOX Show!
After initial reports that he created participated in “emotional abuse” and created a “hostile work environment” on set, Lethal Weaponco-lead Clayne Crawford has been booted from the Fox show.
The initial report from Deadline said Crawford, who plays Martin Riggs opposite Damon Wayans‘ Roger Murtaugh, “has had a history of bad behavior on the show and had been “disciplined several times over complaints of emotional abuse and creating a hostile environment.” Things reportedly became so bad that other actors and crewmembers felt uncomfortable being on set with Crawford.
His actions have put a potential Season 3 renewal for the show in jeopardy. TVLine, who broke the news that Crawford is out, says “Fox and its studio partner Warner Bros. are actively searching for an actor to replace the embattled actor in the role of Martin Riggs. The outcome of the 11th hour recasting effort will largely determine whether Fox renews the series for Season 3.” THR, who later confirmed the news, says multiple actors have already passed on the gig.
Lethal Weapon, based on the film series of the same name, also stars Keesha Sharp and Jordana Brewster.

On This Day In Comedy… In 1961 Comedian And TV Producer Byron Allen Was Born!
On this day in comedy on April 22, 1961, Comedian, Producer, Byron Allen Folks, better known professionally as just Byron Allen was born on this date in Detroit, Michigan
Allen began doing stand-up comedy as a teenager. His interest in show business began during his childhood when he would accompany his mother to NBC studios in Burbank where she worked as a publicist. At age 14, Allen put together his first stand-up routine and began appearing on amateur night at comedy clubs throughout the Los Angeles area. Comedian Jimmie Walker saw Allen’s stand-up act and was so impressed that he invited the 14 year-old comedian to join his comedy writing team alongside promising young comedians Jay Leno and David Letterman. At age 18, Allen made his television debut on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. Allen holds the distinction of being the youngest standup comedian ever to have performed on the show.
Watching Allen’s network television debut were the producers of NBC’s Real People, who were so taken with his comfortable, relaxed style that they made him an offer the very next day to co-host the show.
While Allen was getting his feet wet as a television personality, he was also learning the ins and outs of television production. The business of advertising and syndication, he learned in the trenches by personally calling station owners, programming directors and advertisers, one-by-one and market-by-market from his dining room table.
Mr. Allen’s foray into television production began in Los Angeles in 1993 when he founded Entertainment Studios with the launch of his first series — Entertainers with Byron Allen—a weekly, one-hour series profiling the current stars of film and television.
Entertainment Studios produces, distributes, and sells advertising for 32 television series, making it the largest independent producer/distributor of first-run syndicated programming for broadcast television globally.
Among the company’s top programs are: Emmy-winning Cars.TV, Emmy-nominated America’s Court with Judge Ross and We the People With Gloria Allred, Comics Unleashed, Comedy.TV, Beautiful Homes & Great Estates, Pets.TV, Recipe.TV, Career Day and The Young Icons. His company also made its first foray into scripted programming, producing two weekly primetime sitcoms that are slated to debut in September 2012: The First Family and Mr. Box Office.
In 2009, Allen became the first television entrepreneur to own and launch a portfolio of six 24-hour HD television networks simultaneously. The six networks include Pets.TV, Comedy.TV, Recipe.TV, Cars.TV, ES.TV, and MyDestination.TV.
