Mark Harmon’s exit as Leroy Jethro Gibbs after 18 seasons on NCIS remains a hot topic, stirring debate among fans. Despite CBS’s initial denials, Gary Cole’s Agent Parker took over the role in Season 19, prompting accusations of deception.
The selection of Agent Parker as the new team leader has left some fans dissatisfied, expressing disappointment that Tim McGee, seemingly Gibbs’ heir, did not assume the role. Showrunner Steven D. Binder responded, indicating that Gibbs and McGee may have had discussions about the future. Despite this, fans remain discontented, vocalizing their preference for McGee to step into Gibbs’ shoes.
