“Oh
John
Goodman,
where
art
thou?”
may
not
be
a
question
on
Roseanne
Barr’s
mind.
In
fact,
the
Roseanne
patriarch
said
he
hasn’t
spoken
to
his
former
onscreen
wife
since
she
was
fired
from
the
sitcom’s
revival
in
2018.
“I’d
rather
doubt
if
she
wants
to
talk
to
me,”
Goodman—who
starred
alongside
Barr
on
her
eponymous
sitcom
from
1988
to
1997,
and
again
for
its
one-season
reboot—told
The
Hollywood
Reporter
in
an
interview
published
July
9.
“We
haven’t
talked
for
about
seven
or
eight
years.”
Roseanne
was
initially
renewed
for
an
11th
season.
However,
amid
its
success,
Barr
compared
President
Barack
Obama’s
then-advisor
Valerie
Jarrett
to
an
ape
in
a
Twitter
(now
known
as
X)
post,
leading
ABC
to
retract
the
series’
renewal.
“Roseanne’s
Twitter
statement
is
abhorrent,
repugnant
and
inconsistent
with
our
values,”
then-President
of
ABC
Entertainment
Channing
Dungey
said
in
a
statement
at
the
time,
“and
we
have
decided
to
cancel
her
show.”
