The Conners, the continuation of the sitcom Roseanne reboot, casts a major EGOT-winning actor to guest in an upcoming season 6 episode.
The Conners season 5 has cast a legendary EGOT-winner as an upcoming guest star. The long-running series is in and of itself a continuation of another long-running series, Roseanne, which ran for 10 seasons on ABC beginning in 1988. The Conners began its life as a Roseanne reboot in 2018 but was retooled when star Roseanne Barr was fired for her controversial online posts.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Per Deadline, Whoopi Goldberg has been tapped to guest star on an upcoming episode of The Conners season 5. Goldberg is an iconic actor and host of The View who became the first Black woman to win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. In her episode, she will play Ms. Glen, a strict music teacher who terrorizes Mark but also has a hidden connection with another member of his family.
Guest stars who have appeared on The Conners in its five-season run include Mary Steenburgen, Juliette Lewis, Justin Long, Jason Alexander, and Dan Aykroyd. The show has even drawn in legendary non-actors including musician Ozzy Osbourne and football player Aaron Rodgers. In a clever homage, another guest spot was given to Scrubs alum Sarah Chalke to honor her stint on the original Roseanne as a replacement for Lecy Goranson as Becky Conner.
However, The Conners season 5 continued to up the ante. Most recently, Third Rock from the Sun and Saturday Night Live icon Jane Curtin joined the series as Dan's disapproving mother-in-law. If they continue to be able to pull off such major cameos as the series progresses, the likely season 6 is going to be completely star-studded.
