Is Roseanne Barr Coming Back to TV?
by EG
Since being fired from Roseanne after posting a racist tweet, Roseanne Barr has been looking for a way forward. This week, Barr hinted at the possibility of new TV projects in her future. Given that Barr has become something of a right-wing icon after being accused of racism, and given that networks like Fox and CMT have already made a practice of reviving conservative-leaning TV projects that have been dropped by mainstream networks, it very well could happen.

The Conners may kill off Roseanne Conner but it sounds like Roseanne Barr isn’t going anywhere. The comedian revealed in a new interview that while she will have no part of ABC’s spinoff of Roseanne, she has already received multiple other offers.

“I’ve already been offered so many things and I almost already accepted one really good offer to go back on TV and I might do it,” Barr, 65, said during a new interview on Rabbi Shmuley Boteach‘s podcast. “We’ll see.”
The outspoken actress returned to TV with the revival of Roseanne in spring 2018 and the show received massive ratings, immediately being picked up for a second season. However, shortly after the first season wrapped, ABC scrapped the sitcom due to a racist tweet by Barr, in which she referred to Barack Obama’s former White House aide Valerie Jarrett as “Muslim Brotherhood + Planet of the Apes.”
