Breaking: Roseanne Back on Air with New TV Gig
Independent Journal Review ^ | September 20, 2022 at 3:35pm | By Richard Moorhead

A comedian that the left simply can’t stand is making a comeback.

Roseanne Barr will appear in a stand-up comedy special exclusive to Fox Nation, the streaming service of the Fox News media family.

In a Fox Nation news release provided to The Western Journal on Tuesday, the network promised to return Roseanne to audiences across the United States.

“Roseanne is a comedy icon whose humor connects with the American audience like no other,” Fox Nation President Jason Klarman said of the development.

“Her ability to channel the challenges of everyday people and find the humor in it all has earned her the passionate following of millions of dedicated fans.

“We are thrilled to add her comedy special exclusively to the FOX Nation catalog.”

“A Roseanne Comedy Special” is set for a release in the first quarter of 2023.

Roseanne started her entertainment career as a standup comedy performer before the first run of her sitcom “Roseanne” began in 1988, according to Encyclopedia Britannica.

Fox Nation promised an event with Roseanne’s signature irreverence for politically correct woke pieties.

“The one-hour special will feature Ms. Barr’s signature comedic take on a variety of topics, with no subject off limits,” the streaming service pledged.

ABC canceled a 2018 revival of Roseanne’s self-titled popular sitcom following an insensitive tweet on the part of the comedian and actress.

Barr apologized for her tweet, agreeing to leave her own show in order to save the jobs of the cast and crew of the production.

Roseanne has suggested that former first lady Michelle Obama played a role in her ouster from ABC.

The comedian has pointed to her use of sleep medication as spurring an offensive tweet about former Obama White House aide Valerie Jarrett.

Barr portrayed a Trump supporter in the 2018 reboot of her hit sitcom, drawing the ire of progressive leftists who refuse to tolerate any depiction of Americans who defy their political ideology.

The comedian and actress has won four Emmys, three Golden Globes and a Peabody Award over the course of her career in entertainment.

Loved her comedy when she was first making the rounds of Johnny Carson and the like. Very funny stuff. Nothing else like it then or since.

Never did get into the TV show.

Wait, I get these two confused. Which one hates Trump and which one loves Trump?

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has not returned our requests for her reaction to this Breaking News as of this time, nor has former presidential assistant; Valerie Jarret.

Too bad Norm McDonald passed away from cancer.

He’d be involved if he were still around.

The left used to love her. Until she supported Trump.

Roseanne Barr was one of the first people to be "cancelled" by the Gestapo Left, her main crime being that she was making it acceptable to be a Trump supporter.

I don't watch TV much anymore but for those that do, I challenge you to find one major network TV show that shows Trump or one of his many supporters in a positive light. It simply does not exist. Censorship is real here in America.

Rosanne used to be a regular on Norm MacDonald’s podcasts. Still Hillarious. Certainly older but wiser.

Discovered by Rodney Dangerfield.....along with Jerry Seinfeld, Bob Saget, Sam Kinison......and that list goes on and on.

If Rodney saw talent, you had it....and Roseanne absolutely does.

Good for her.

This is all very confusing. I'm still stuck on the left claiming that Valerie Jarett is black. LOL

Screw Fox nation. There’s rarely anything good on FNC so they figured everyone would want to pony up and pay a subscription fee to watch even more nothing on their streaming service?

How dumb can they get?

I heard she likes Frank Zappa. Seriously.

So, she’s passes my intelligence test.

What’s new in Baltimore Roseanne?
