On June 26, 2020, in the wake of the George Floyd protests, Mike Henry announced that he would no longer voice the African American character Cleveland Brown. Actor Wendell Pierce launched a campaign to become Mike Henry's replacement. It was later announced on September 25, 2020 that actor and YouTube personality Arif Zahir, who is known for voicing Cleveland in several fan videos, would be the new voice for the character. This makes Season 19 the final season in which Cleveland Brown is voiced by Mike Henry.
