John Goodman Breaks Silence On Where He Stands With Roseanne Barr
HuffPost
The actor played Barr’s husband, Dan Conner, on the "Roseanne" show, as well as in the reboot and its successor, “The Conners.”
John Goodman is revealing the truth behind his relationship with Roseanne Barr.
In a Friday interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Goodman discussed the popular ’80s program, “Roseanne.” The actor played Barr’s husband, Dan Conner, on the show, as well as in the reboot and its successor, “The Conners,” which wrapped its seventh and final season in spring 2025.
During the interview, THR noted that Goodman’s character went to pay his respects at Barr’s character’s gravesite — the show wrote out Barr in the first episode — and then asked if the two actors were still in contact.
“No. I’d rather doubt if she wants to talk to me,” he said. “We haven’t talked for about seven or eight years.”
Goodman’s statements track with the original revival’s cancellation in 2018 after Bart’s racist comments regarding former Obama White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.
