Racist Roseanne Teases TV Return: ‘I’ve Already Been Offered So Many Things’

Roseanne Barr told Rabbi Shmuley Boteach on his podcast over the weekend that she is considering a return to television and has already received several offers.

“Inside every bad thing is a good thing waiting to happen and I feel very excited because 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. But we’ll see,” Barr said.

Roseanne Barrs sitcom “Roseanne” returned in March after a two-decade absence to enormous ratings on ABC. However, ABC abruptly canceled “Roseanne” hours after Ms. Barr, the show’s star and co-creator, posted a racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett, an African-American woman who was a senior adviser to Barack Obama throughout his presidency and considered one of his most influential aides. Ms. Barr wrote if the “muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby=vj.”

It is interesting how Barr was hired to resurrect a show I am sure not many asked for, despite her history of insensitive comments. After the racist tweets about Valerie surfaced the show was promptly snatched off the air. And after three months the entertainment industry is itching to hire her again, right after we all brutally crucified her for being racist. It seems that you can get fired on Friday for being racist and get hired again by Monday’s lunch.

Barr is friendly with the media savvy Boteach and made an emotional appearance with him shortly after being fired. Battling through tears, the comedian said she could not be more remorseful.

“I never would have wittingly called any black person . . . a monkey. I just wouldn’t do that. I didn’t do that. And people think that I did that, and it just kills me,” she said. “I’ve made myself a hate magnet.”

ABC has announced that they will keep Roseanne’s show going with the program’s main attraction and will rebrand the series as “The Conners.”
