Roseanne Conner: Last News

John Goodman played Roseanne Barr's husband on TV for over 10 years, but that changed after Barr made some questionable comments on Twitter in 2018. Speaking about Barr now, Goodman expressed that he had some strong emotions about the circumstances of Barr's firing from their show, but he does not know if those feelings would be enough to make him consider working with her again. After playing Dan and Roseanne Conner on "Roseanne" from 1988 to 1998, Goodman and Barr agreed to do a reboot of the show with the same name.The nine-episode season aired from March through May 2018, but that summer, Barr made a series of racist comments about Valerie Jarrett, a former advisor to former President Obama, and she was fired from the show.

After The Conners killed off Roseanne Barr’s eponymous character in 2018, the comedian is not interested in watching the sitcom.

When asked to imagine the quintessential TV mom, you might recall any number of firm, wholesome or uplifting characters from across the decades. June Cleaver and Carol Brady remain the paradigms of chipper blond matriarchy.
