    'It was a witch-burning': Roseanne may forgive Hollywood, but she'll never forget

    by Greg Braxton, Los Angeles Times Feb 09, 2023 6 minutes
    Roseanne Barr at the Saban Theatre on Sept. 17, 2018, in Beverly Hills, Calif. Barr has a new stand-up special premiering Monday on Fox Nation, one of her first appearances following her firing by ABC in 2018 for a racist tweet.

    Almost five years have passed since Roseanne Barr fired off a late-night tweet that changed her life, bringing about a her fall from grace and the cancellation of the groundbreaking show that made her into one of TV's most electric personalities.

    The years since that controversy have been relatively quiet. But that calm is ebbing as Barr plots her comeback.

    "What a privilege it is for you to have me here this evening, ladies and gentlemen," Barr said, flashing a mischievous smile, as she greeted a capacity audience last month inside the Cullen Theater in Houston. "And of course I mean that from the bottom of my heart." Then she added a pointed question:

    "Has anyone else here been fired recently?"

    Those moments kick off "Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!," a new stand-up special premiering Monday on Fox Nation. Debuting the same day on the streaming service is "Who Is Roseanne Barr?," a documentary examining her stormy career.

    The special is the latest chapter
