And Roseanne Barr celebrated her 62nd birthday by reuniting with her three children from the classic ABC series during an appearance on The Talk on Monday.
Co-host Sara Gilbert – who played daughter Darlene – surprised the comedian by bringing out their former co-stars Lecy Goranson (Becky) and Michael Fishman (D.J.).

Roseanne – who turned 62 on Monday – looked younger than her years as she walked out sporting a newly dyed blonde hairstyle and a black dress adorned with stars and sheer sleeves.
Joking about her newly highlighted look, the star joked: ‘I just got tired of dying it grey.’
The birthday girl’s appearance was full of surprises including her favourite red velvet cake and a videotaped greeting from Laurie Metcalfe, who played her sister Jackie on Roseanne.

The actress wished Roseanne a happy birthday and offered to treat her to a celebratory meal after the show by saying: ‘I’ll swing by the lot and pick you up and take you out to lunch.’
Then Sara brought out the biggest reveal by saying: ‘Speaking as Darlene, on behalf of Becky and D.J., I think they would like to wish a happy birthday.’
But this time it was not a taped greeting as co-stars Lecy Goranson and Michael Fishman appeared from backstage to celebrate with their television mom in person.

In between all the festivities, Roseanne fired off her trademark wit and even joked about having an affair with her former co-star George Clooney.
‘Yes, we had sex,’ she hilariously said about the star who played her boss during the show’s first season, adding: ‘but he keeps denying it.’
Roseanne will be performing stand-up as part of the Lipshtick Comedy Series at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas on November 7 and 8.
