Veteran actor-comedian Fred Willard has lost his job as narrator of PBS’ new Antiques Roadshow competition spinoff Market Warriors. This follows his arrest Wednesday night on charges of lewd conduct at an adult theater in Hollywood. Boston station WGBH, which produces the show, said “Given the unfortunate news reported today, effective immediately, Fred Willard no longer will be involved with the Market Warriors series.” Antiques Roadshow host Mark Walberg will re-record narration for the episodes already taped. The attorney for the 72-year-old Willard told Fox News that “Fred did nothing in any violation of any law. We will be working vigorously to clear his name.” Willard starred in several ensemble movies directed by Christopher Guest, including Best In Show and A Mighty Wind. He is a frequent actor in TV series and on Jay Leno’s Tonight Show skits.

Hey, Wha Happened!
Fred went Pee Wee!
Do they still even HAVE XXX theaters anymore???? I thought they went out with the coming (no pun intended) of VHS.
What happened to innocent until proven otherwise? PBS is supposed to be the more enlightened network.
Just worked with Fred for the first time last month. Always a big fan, so it was a honor. If people PAY to go and watch a XXX film, how can someone else being doing something LEWD next to them??? If anything, that’s like getting a 3D movie without the up-charge. Hope Fred continues to work as much as he wants. He’s a good human.
