Critics are raving about the comedic talents of Roseanne Barr, with DKT Entertainment Editor Joe Barron calling her performance “the funniest show I’ve seen in years” and “a breath of fresh air.”
Fox concurs, as the network has inked a 3-year, $40 million deal for Barr to host a morning show in direct competition with “The View.” FOX Entertainment CEO Art Tubolls expressed confidence in their decision, stating that her standup act was “the best thing anyone has done on a stage in a long time.”
Barr’s groundbreaking material included jokes like “my children are libtards” and “my parents tried to set me up with my cousin, but that’s okay because everyone’s parents did that.”
Her unique ability to make audiences simultaneously uncomfortable and entertained has garnered her widespread attention. However, not everyone is on board yet; some viewers, like MerrianNbob Mitchell, are waiting for the show to air on cable before committing to the $5.99 app download fee.
While it’s unlikely that the show will ever make it to traditional television due to its controversial nature, this hasn’t stopped the rumor mill from churning. Speculation has arisen that Roseanne is considering hiring “unwoke” actress Gina Carano for her panel, which would only add to the show’s polarizing appeal. As Roseanne Barr’s star continues to rise, audiences eagerly await the debut of her morning show on Fox.
