Roseanne Barr is a comedy superstar, award-winning actress, best-selling author, recent presidential candidate and the original domestic goddess and she continues to amaze. After 9 years, 224 episodes and 4 Emmy awards, you couldn’t blame Roseanne if she wanted to quietly slip away, able to take solace in the fact she single-handedly re-landscaped the medium of situational comedy forever.
Her creation and stark portrayal of Roseanne Conner and the Conner family on “Roseanne” was hailed by Entertainment Weekly as “the most groundbreaking kitchen-sink sitcom since ‘All in the Family.’” The series, which also won a prestigious Peabody Award, became an internationally syndicated hit, seen in more than 150 countries worldwide.
In 2013, Roseanne returned to her stand-up roots and was the headline act for an exclusive run at the legendary Tropicana Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Most recently, Roseanne can be found as the center judge on America’s most compelling comedy competition on NBC’s Emmy Award-nominated series “Last Comic Standing.”
