During the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour this week, “The Real O’Neals” executive producer Casey Johnson opened up about the effect Noah Galvin’s now infamous interview had on the sitcom’s second season.
In a story for Vulture in June, Galvin bashed “Arrow” actor Colton Haynes, “Modern Family” star Eric Stonestreet and producer Bryan Singer. Galvin apologized for his remarks in a statement released shortly after the story was printed.
According to Deadline, Johnson says Galvin’s comments didn’t contribute to ABC’s decision about the show order.
“There wasn’t any threat to cut our orders. ABC has been incredibly supportive… The article came out and Noah regretted what he said and apologized really quickly,” Johnson says. “We’ve all said things that we wished we hadn’t. There wasn’t that much buzzing behind the scenes… it’s all good.”
ABC Entertainment President Channing Dungey also addressed the controversy earlier in the day.
“Noah’s Vulture interview is something for which he has apologized publicly, and it’s in the past at this point for us,” Dungey says. “We are very excited about the creative that we’ve heard for season two from the showrunners, and we just had a fantastic first table read for the season.”
The sitcom’s second season is scheduled to premiere on Oct. 11.

This John Waters interview has been edited for readability — but perhaps not human decency
Pope of Trash dishes on Trump, plane etiquette, last meal, and more
By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
