John Goodman doesn't regret speaking up for Roseanne Barr after her character was killed on 'The Conners': 'I felt bad for her. I just feel terrible about the whole thing. We had a great time. And I love her.'
Hit sitcom “Roseanne” was canceled by ABC in 2018 after a racially-charged tweet by Barr about Valerie Jarrett, an African American woman who was a senior adviser to Barack Obama throughout his presidency.Later that year, Goodman told the Sunday Times: “I was surprised at the response. And that’s probably all I should say about that … I know for a fact that she’s not a racist.” He added that Barr was “going through hell.
Would he work with her again? “I don’t know. If she’d liked to… I just don’t know. I miss her,” he says. “I wish her well.”Courtesy of Carsey-Werner/Paramount Television/ABC/Everett Collection Goodman doesn’t believe he’ll appear again on “Saturday Night Live”: “No. My time may have passed. Yeah, it might be a generational thing. I know Steve Martin still goes on and does things.” Does he have any desire maybe to play Donald Trump on the show, for example? “Oh, no, there’s too many Trumps out there. We’re over-Trumped,” he says.
Reflecting on what makes the Coen Brothers stand apart from other directors, he says: “They strike a more personal note with me. It’s just their writing is superior and their sense of humor and their vision. And maybe it’s the fact that we are Midwestern transplants to New York. Perhaps it has something to do with it. But I hit it off with them as soon as I met them. We had a grand old time at my audition for ‘Raising Arizona.
