Thirteen hours after Roseanne quit Twitter, she came back on it with several retweets and one written by herself. She wrote, “Don’t feel sorry for me, guys!!-I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people,and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet.”
If she were a late night host, then she would use some of her personal money to make sure the people who lost their jobs are taken care of like Conan O’Brien, Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Leno all did. But she won’t because when has she has done anything for anyone but herself?
Talking about late night, Kimmel weighed in on her firing on his show. The ABC late host said, “We don’t have much on this network. We’re hoping the NBA finals go 11 games this year. We are still airing America’s Funniest Home Videos. Roseanne was a very bigly hit for ABC and we needed it.” That is such an understatement. They really really really needed it, did I say really.
Kimmel also suggested what his network should do and that is to just rename the sitcom Dan and have everyone else still be part of the show. Or as he put it, “with all the cast members you love.”
While that his suggestion, this is mine. On Tuesdays have Modern Family at 8p and Speechless afterward. Then on Wednesday The Goldbergs leads the night, followed by its spinoff Schooled, American Housewife goes to 9p and Single Parents closes the night. Finally make it Retro Fridays with the ’90s based Fresh Off The Boat leading off the night and then take it back to the ’70s with The Kids are All Right at 8:30p. I can’t think of what else they can do to save their fall. What do you think they should do?
UPDATE: Roseanne does not want people to stand up for her because, “guys I did something unforgiveable so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible. I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but…don’t defend it please. ty.” She also released the below statement.
