Addressing why the pair were presenting such a serious award, Roseanne, 65, said: ‘I’m kinda known for creating some great drama.’

To which John quipped: ‘Not the kind you get awards for.’

After a brief pause, Barr emulated her character with a well-timed ‘Oh!’

Their mini-reunion comes a day after ABC released a fresh set of shots of the cast of the rebooted Roseanne, which returns for an eight-episode slate in the upcoming months.

The show will bring back all of the original stars, with Roseanne and John starring as Roseanne and Dan Conner, with Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman and Alicia Goranson reprising their roles from the first run. 

Sarah Chalke, who played Becky after Goranson’s 1993 departure to attend college, will play a new role on the reboot as a character named Andrea.

Back to basics: The Conner family was a mainstay on TV throughout the 80s and 90s

Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara and Jayden Rey are among the new cast members on the comedy, which originally ran from 1989 thru 1997.

As many fans remember, Goodman’s paternal character Dan died in the show’s 1997 finale, but that storyline twist will be disregarded in his return to the show.

The program itself nodded at the change of direction in a teaser clip released last month in which Dan – alive and well – sat on a couch with Becky taking in a basketball game.

Dan mused, ‘I still think the Bulls of ’96, ’97, would have beat these guys anytime,’ to which Roseanne shot back, ‘You can’t live in the past, Dan! When things are gone, they’re gone forever.’

Goodman earlier this week told Entertainment Weekly that things had hardly missed a beat when the cast reconvened for the new programs.

‘It was like we wrapped last week instead of 20 years ago,’ said Goodman, who’s appeared in notable films such as The Big Lebowski, Argo and Flight since the show went off the air. ‘The hair on my arms stands up. It’s like if I was going to put my Boy Scouts uniform on again and it still fit.’
