Roseanne Barr ‘Fielding Offers’ From Hollywood Execs to Make Big TV Comeback: ‘The Time is Right’

Roseanne Barr is furious that talk show host Jimmy Kimmel made a quick comeback to late-night TV less than a week after his insensitive remarks about the assassination of conservative icon Charlie Kirk — while she’s been languishing on the sidelines since 2018 after her own controversial comments, sources say.

However, the former sitcom star, 72, is now being swarmed by Hollywood execs dangling potential new TV projects, insiders say.

“She’s fielding offers,” an insider shares. “They think Roseanne is the perfect personality for a shifting TV audience.”

“Leftist viewpoints are less in favor, with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert canceled and other hosts walking on eggshells thinking they may be next. The time is right for a Roseanne return, and her pals are saying she believes it would be the sweetest revenge.”

As Globe readers know, the contentious comedian was booted from her own ABC sitcom Roseanne after being accused of making a racist social media post about Valerie Jarrett, a Black woman, who served as senior advisor to Barack Obama during his presidency.

The show was canceled and reborn as The Conners — and Roseanne’s matriarch character was killed off.

Two months later, Roseanne apologized on Sean Hannity’s Fox News Channel show for any hurt she caused with her since-deleted post and moaned, “It cost me everything.”

Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and its host were reinstated by ABC in just six days after more than 400 celebrities signed an open letter supporting him.

Roseanne recently told NewsNation, “I got my whole life ruined, no forgiveness, and all of my work stolen and called a racist for time and eternity.”

“It’s a double standard.”

But according to sources, Kimmel faces an uncertain future due to his scandal and a shrinking late-night audience.

The insider adds, “Now, Roseanne is seeing an opportunity for someone with her brash opinions to reemerge and be accepted.”
