Actress and comedian Roseanne Barr (69) is aiming for a return to the limelight. The star from the sitcom “Roseanne” and its offshoot “The Conners” 2018 with racist tweets about Valerie Jarrett (65), the senior advisor to former US President Barack Obama (61), snapped himself. But according to “Variety” she is now finding a new home with the conservative Fox empire.
In the first quarter of next year, the hour-long “A Roseanne Comedy Special” will be broadcast on Fox Nation’s in-house streaming service. Roseanne is “a comedy icon whose humor is linked to that of the American audience like no other.” Fox Nation President Jason Klarman said the show will showcase her “typical comedic take on all sorts of subjects, no area is off the charts.”
It is quite possible that this also explicitly includes ABC. After her verbal derailment on Twitter, Barr was fired from the US broadcaster in 2018. The continuation of the successful series “Roseanne” was then continued without the actress as a spin-off “The Conners” – mother Roseanne died an unexpected death in it.
