If you’re waiting for Roseanne Barr to apologize, then she has one message for you: “Kiss my big, fat ass.” ABC canceled her hit sitcom and killed her off her character for a tweet about an adviser to President Barack Obama, but now she’s “back and stronger than ever.” After running for the presidential nomination of the Green Party in 2012 and seeing the “ungrateful little leftists bastards” at Occupy Wall Street for herself, she set off on a journey that landed her on the wrong side of the television industry that had once embraced as her a feminist pioneer and LGBT champion. The bawdy and beloved comedian, told by Johnny Carson that she would be a star, landed in hot water after her decision to portray "Roseanne" as a Trump supporter, a political position that John Goodman and the rest of the show's cast refused to take on, even as their characters. But being raised as the “only Jew in Salt Lake City,” Roseanne wasn’t afraid of being different. She and Glenn dish about the lifestyles of the rich and famous, and Roseanne gives her takes on stars like Taylor Swift, Marie Osmond, Mel Gibson, Robert De Niro, and even the ladies from "The View." No one, not even, as she describes it, “the lesbian-witch publicist cabal” pressuring her to apologize for her view on transgenderism, could stop Roseanne from calling it as she sees it, and she thinks our government is looking like a “Monty Python skit” and that whether Trump or Harris is elected in 2024, we may be facing a “big-ass civil war.” That’s why she had to drunkenly pray over Donald Trump that one time and also why she tells young comedians that “we have to be braver than we’ve ever been.”
