Fenoli explained that season 19 of the series felt different because it was filmed during the height of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. According to a clip on Instagram, Fenoli couldn’t fly due to restrictions and his schedule, which included caring for his mother. Things have loosened up a bit now, and viewers are excited to see Randy back in action inside Kleinfeld. July 9 can’t come soon enough.
