Flashback: ABC's 'Roseanne' to Tackle Trump Era in Sitcom Revival (June 2017)
At Banff, ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey says she isn't certain Roseanne Barr will name the U.S. president, but "she's going to speak very honestly."
Expect comedian Roseanne Barr to tackle Donald Trump and the current reality of ordinary Americans when a revival of her popular family sitcom debuts on ABC mid-season.
ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey says she isn't certain Barr will personally identify the U.S. president. "I don't know whether Roseanne will speak about Trump by name. But she's going to speak very honestly," Dungey told the Banff World Media Festival on Monday during a keynote address.
"We're going to be tackling some of the topics that are in the conversation today. I'll leave it that," she added. Original castmembers Barr, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, Michael Fishman and Lecy Goranson will return 30 years after the original Roseanne comedy debuted, this time with new kids and grandchildren thrown into the mix.
