if you watch a documentary called I am comic, she talks about this moment. How the first few jokes got barely no laughs but when the third joke hit and they laughed hard, it was the greatest feeling in her life. Watching it now, you can see how much she needs those laughs and how good they make her feel. She isnt laughing at her jokes, she is just so happy that people find her funny that she cant contain it.
This is the same laugh musicians do occasionally during a song but usually after the last note rings out and they can break. I used to think it was creepy as a kid. Why are they fricken laughing after that sad song. I obviously figured itv out later.
She had a traumatic brain injury when she was 16 and got hit by a car. She also suffers from a mental illness. She was great up until the last few years when she started going nuts. I love her old stuff and just feel bad for her because she clearly needs help now.
Ironically when Roseanne was a liberal, virtue signaler, norm stood up against her and made it known. Check it out on RU-vid. About a comic who attacks Christians and norm doesn’t think it’s brave
i got the "impression" she couldn't hold her giddiness over how well the material was working. her opening joke was funny "i've been married 13 years and it's a thrill to be out of the house", but you could hear a pin drop, look at her eyes and body language, she was like, uh oh... then watch her reaction after the first big laugh after "domestic goddess".
I remember when Roseanne first appeared. I saw her on the Johnny Carson show, but then after watching a full comedy routine I loved her. The more she did the better she got.
My Mom and I were watching this night, and Roseanne was a blast of folksy fresh air. She wasn't a hip and cool downtowner like most comedians, she talked about being an overweight suburban housewife, which made her relatable to 75% of America. Her style was "unprofessional," the way she laughed at her own jokes with the audience, which just made her more convincing and familiar. When she started acting bizarre and "going Hollywood" after the success of her TV show, she lost the lady-next-door charm that my Mom and everyone else liked.
art howard, i remember seeing this too, specifically the joke about fat mom's being better than skinny mom's. definitely something you weren't hearing at that time, she was very funny with her sarcastic and dry wit.
So my family & I were headed up to Mackinaw Island in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and spent the night at Holiday Inn to break up the long trip. We watched this show, and laughed until we all fell out of bed. I will never forget Roseanne Barr and her great sense of humor. The next morning we went to breakfast in the Hotel, & every single person in the Hotel restaurant was talking about Roseanne Barr. I'm talking about 80 people who did not know one another. It proved to me just how many people watched Johnny Carson every night before he went to bed. He was exceptional. A real class act. Grateful to have his re-runs.
This is when I liked her. When she was still humble enough to display some of those disarmingly giddy giggles because people thought she was funny. It shows she had some vulnerability...but still had the guts to get on stage and do her thing.
I 💯 loved her then in my 20’s & I 💯 love her now in my early 60’s❣️ Thank you for all the years of laughter & entertainment Rosanne❣️ You’re a legend in the Professional Comedian Community!! We’re all so very blessed to have laughed so much for so many years to your Comedy Talent!! I hope that your children & grandchildren love & appreciate you as much & more than you deserve!!
I do miss the comedy, where free speech was allowed and no one felt offended; where mocking someone was indeed funny because we all knew it was comedy and in fact we liked them in real life. Now, in 2019, comedies and late show hosts aren't funny because their brains are filled with rage and hatred. They mock you because they don't like you: Colbert, Kimmel to name a few.
Fantastic. Never has the persona of a comic been announced to the world via Carson in less time. She says three sentences and you know who she is, and not coincidentally, exactly what a sitcom starring her would look like. Development execs must have been salivating!
I remember watching Carson when this aired and laughed so hard at "sugar coma". So young back then, but remember cracking up so hard to this day it was so funny.
I was at this show. Julio Iglesias was the musical guest. Afterwards, Garry Shandling came in an asked if people wanted to start for a shot from his TV show. 80% left, but I migrated to the front row in case I might get on in an audience shot (didn't happen).
Roseanne’s tweet was not about race. It was political, as Roseanne has mentioned numerous times. She was trying to comment on Iran, which is experiencing chaos in its streets as we speak. Roseanne believes Valerie, as a member of the Obama administration, had a role in the expansion of the Muslim brotherhood in places like Iran. The tweet had NOTHING to do with what the movie is called, and everything to do with what the movie is about. Planet of the Apes, the movie, is about overthrowing political despots (where the Apes rule and humans are their servants and either fight back or escape). And that is what some people of Iran are trying to do to their own government. People need to get past the word “Ape”. That had nothing to do with what Roseanne was trying to say. If the movie was called “waka maka waka” then that’s what she would have said, because what the movie is called was irrelevant to what she was trying to say. Again, Roseanne was comparing what she believes to be Valerie’s actions with the PLOT of the movie, not the name or characters in it.
Haha many of her social criticism was comically on point. I really liked her tv show, except the last season not too much which turned a little weird at the end. Her mom coming out as a lesbo, along with her friend and Dan suddenly leaving her for another woman and later then dying after hitting the lottery and finally stopped being poor. It was all a messy ending. But other than that its a tv classic.
+Zaggy Volz it was supposed to be weird because none of it was true. it was just the fiction the she wrote for her book after Dan actually died during his heart attack. I agree, its kind of an odd season, but if you look at it as just a piece of fiction it's not so bad ;)
This clip... The United States of Television America in Primetime The Independent Woman BBC documetary ...brought me here. Roseanne Barr on "Roseanne" [Starts 21:23] A revealing interview of an insightful, intelligent, warm and disarmingly attractive lady
I used to have a vhs that had this act on it along with other comedians. I forgot what it was called and who else was on it, but it made me laugh each time i saw it. Been searching ever since.
Roseanne Barr was a true original back then and became a superstar more and more in her later years. Barr is a top 50 easily in the comedic world. If R.Barr ever reads this comment then you know whom are trolls and what is the real deal. You will be loved forever. Do not give up girl. Friggan Tesla technology is on the way so we do not have to keep dying and mind erasing and starting all over again. We love you and so many other Roseanne. God Bless.J
Carson wasn't canceled at anytime. He retired in May 22, 1992 from the Tonight Show. Hosting that show for all most 30 years. Watching late nite TV in 85, you would go thru channels looking to see what was on. Then someone would say; Lets watch Carson. In those days, before 500 TV channels and 24-hour-everything, that still meant something. I'm going to guess that in 1985, you were busy trying to develop a spinal cord???
Because she was married 11years with 3 kids when she made the Johnny Carson appearance and 4 days after her divorce was final married Tom Arnold and when that divorce was complete less than 2 months married her limo driver and had a kid. Just because a person looks a certain way doesn't automatically give people the right to assume they are gay. She has always been attracted to men. But close minded people LIKE THIS STATEMENT you made, is whats wrong with this country. Nothing like stereo typing
She is so amazing I love her to death I just didn't cover of her TV show Roseanne singing and playing the piano can you guys can please watch the video please help me get a record deal please please I ask you very nicely thank you for the awesome upload I've never seen this video before
So, why can't ABC do something like this with the Roseanne show? Wikipedia states the following "The Hogan Family (originally titled Valerie, and later, Valerie's Family) is an American sitcom that aired on NBC from March 1, 1986, to May 7, 1990, and on CBS from September 15, 1990, until July 20, 1991. It was produced by Miller-Boyett Productions, along with Tal Productions, Inc. (1986-87), and in association with Lorimar Productions (1986), Lorimar-Telepictures (1986-88), and Lorimar Television (1988-91).The show was originally titled Valerie and starred Valerie Harper as a mother trying to juggle her career with raising her three sons by her often absent airline pilot husband. Harper was written out of the series after the second season because of a dispute with the show's producers. Sandy Duncan joined the cast as the boys' aunt, who moved in and became their surrogate mom. During the show's third season (Duncan's first as the show's star), the series was known as Valerie's Family (The Hogans), and finally as The Hogan Family." Don't let one bad apple spoil the whole bunch.
Apologies for the infantile racist outburst here. Keep in mind though, that could be a Democrat wanting you to believe he is a Republican. Comedy Central hosts and Bill Maher are saying night in, night out infinite worse things about Trump and his family than Rosanne, a true comedian did, and Don Rickels was often very "racist" while everybody knew he was no racist. Rosanne is no racist either. ABC was looking for a reason to cancel that show, so they will not be interested in replacing Rosanne. According to sources, Michelle Obama called ABC and demanded the show was cancelled. If that's true or not, ABC, a corporation affiliated with the Clintons and the Obamas at several levels, did not want a show presenting Trump supporters as real human beings. Like them or not, they certainly are.
33 years later the world would cancel her because she didn't know someone was black and posted something about them that was construed as racist. Even though everyone knows this woman isn't racist.
