John Goodman Shares Where He Stands With Roseanne Barr
UNITED STATES, JUL 11 – John Goodman revealed he hasn’t spoken to Roseanne Barr since her 2018 firing over a racist tweet that led to the reboot’s cancellation and launch of The Conners.
- In a July 9, 2025 interview, John Goodman revealed that it has been around seven or eight years since he last communicated with Roseanne Barr, and he expressed skepticism about the possibility of them reconnecting.
- This silence followed Barr’s 2018 racist social media post in which she likened Valerie Jarrett to an ape, prompting ABC to cancel the revived Roseanne show and abandon plans for its 11th season.
- Goodman recalled that he and Barr hit it off quickly when working on the original Roseanne sitcom from 1988 to 1997 and enjoyed the brief 2018 revival despite uncertainty about its duration.
- Goodman expressed skepticism about whether Barr would want to reconnect, noting they had not spoken for seven or eight years, and mentioned that the original show attracted an audience of 20 to 30 million before Barr’s character was written out in the spinoff, The Conners.
- The Connors premiered in 2018, ran for seven seasons, and honored Barr’s character in its finale, marking a continuation of the series without Barr after the controversy.
