[Picabean]

this is 27 years old. fuck!

[07nmartin7]

IS THAT JEFF FOXWORTHY?!?!?!?!

[joelsamuel]

@07nmartin7 lol

[cbone519]

roseanne's the shit!!!!!!!! best female comic

[TheGettoburd]

fat bitch

[Alejandro1736]

I like Roseanne she's very funny

[timm9]

sad how hollywood f9cks wit peoples minds. she is far more normal here then how she later turned out.

[MrMickyMouth]

Roseanne for President of USA and Prime Minister of Israel!

[dsim200000]

@MrMickyMouth yeah! And if she doesn't win the presidency there's always the Vice Presidency and the Prime Minister job too :D

[ApostlesoYahwehUnite]

oh...my God...she's hot. Help me, Jesus.

[Gracelandification]

Rosanne claims to be a socialist. The socialist Hitler seemed to follow the Communist Manifesto. Had she been born in Germany in the 40s, Hitler would have taken her and her family on a train ride to Auschwitz where they would have experimented on her and exterminated her. NAZI = Nationalsozialismus, National Socialism; alternatively spelled Naziism.

[bluejeckett]

@Gracelandification Sigh here we go with the Hitler shyte again, its a video about an american comedienne leave the nazis out of it ffs, its irrelvant

[charleshdowns]

God, that interviewer with the guitar is hot!

[davidpar2]

she had a very pretty face. if she had been slim, she would have been really good looking

[TheDerpinator]

So Jeff Foxworthy changed his name. Pretty slick.

[paperhandsunion]

has anyone ever thought nirvana is to music as roseanne is to tv? both are true artists...

[TXPRiNCEZZ09]

@paperhandsunion its so weird you say that i was just watching all these nirvana videos and interviews and all of a sudden switched to roseanne! :)

[YouWantMeYouCantPay]

@TXPRiNCEZZ09 not to weird at all to me because I do the same thing. I'll watch a shitload of nirvana video's then all of a sudden go on a roseanne kick because I love both Kurt Cobain and Roseanne Barr...fucking awesome people, true artists...

[YouWantMeYouCantPay]

@paperhandsunion well both Kurt and Roseanne were/are feminists. both are geniuses.

[robpax]

O I see the info, he sure has a modified mullet and mustache like foxworthy!

[Nashthebigsmasher]

Because of this hog, females around the world became smart asses (especially toward their husbands)! She has a filthier mouth than a drunken sailor. Thumbs down to this piece of garbage!

[rebafan19]

in 1988, her show began

[TheGoldWatch]

I really love her, even before she was big she talked over everyone. That's right boys, she's huge and loud-mouthed and more famous than most of you chauvinist pigs will ever be!

[gregonamus]

@TheGoldWatch

I'm a boy, and I LOVE her! I crush on her all the time!

Only wimpy pussyish men are afrad of an opinionated, strong woman. On her show, I felt she displayed the perfect role model for women everywhere.

[007MOORER]

@gregonamus

Yeah she quite sexy , i like her better than Joan Collins....

[myguitardidyermom12]

@gregonamus Her personality is sexy as hell, but her appearance....not so much. just my opinion.

[WastedDaze78]

Dude there is no freakin way that is not Jeff Foxworthy!!

[winteronfire]

They do look a lot alike! But Jeff Foxworthy has a higher voice :)

[robpax]

@WastedDaze78 I know, I was just thinkin 'is that jeff foxworthy'?!

[xceeejy]

i love this video sooo much. it shows how cool and down-to-earth she was before fame got to her head. i love roseanne sooo much.

[sxcaki]

I actually think she's prettier now

[aramisdiabolic]

I have to agree

[beetlejuice2001]

So from what i already knew. So Roseanne really did get the idea to do her show based on her own three kids and her husband. This really nice to know. They really should get back together and do another show series.

[xceeejy]

roseanne mentioned last year she might come back to prime time and do a show sort of like roseanne -- and she said she'd like for laurie metcalf (jackie) to come with.

i hope it's true. =]

[lightoftheworld19]

oh man that would be so neat! Roseanne was a great show. Its funny though, I look at the acting and i bet this type of show wouldn't rate as high as it did back then ya know? It's a shame, i think those are the kind of shows America needs =)

[xceeejy]

yeah i know! but i think it's because of the audience, i've noticed several times when they paused because people were laughing so nobody could here. but it's still sooo good. =]

[lightoftheworld19]

I agree. I like the punchlines where they laugh hysterically for about a minute. Oh man that's the best. I think we all need to bring back old shows. That's real America!

[xceeejy]

i think so too!

[clazza01]

no, leave roseanne alone (the show), a comeback would be rubbish

[Robbinia2004]

@xceeejy this would be SOO awesome!! :)

[heartyevangelista]

awesome!

[missx333]

I'm a professional performer and roseanne wrote me .. 'how did i get my start'? oh in the hell cesspool of life would have been my response.

[OhSweetOz]

thats really cool that she wrote to you!!! she's so hilarious!

[missx333]

I love her.. and she wrote to me. woopee.

[MBarford01]

Haha search for How to write a stand up comedy show day 3

[xceeejy]

there's no reason to post negative comments toward anyway, just keep it to yourself.

[thequeenlives]

Roseanne blogs NEGATIVE COMMENTS toward people she's NEVER MET all the time! She even insult kids! Maybe SHE should just 'keep it to herself'. Her own family said she's a liar, so she shouldn't speak negatively about anyone else. I used to like her, but no more.

[xceeejy]

oh i'm sorry then by all means do the same.

[clazza01]

where are these blogs? how did you discover this?

[MrEuroAccent]

Who doesn't? Get off your high horse. Roseanne has guts and doesn't care what people think about her. That's her appeal.

[jacov127]

roseanne is da f..... best

[BAITOVIN]

Is that Jeff Foxworthy?!?!

[jameelahere]

on the view not that long ago she said that her husband helped her be what she is now. Why did she leave him?

[xceeejy]

because she fell in love with tom arnold. just because he helped her become what she is now doesn't mean she's forced to be with him forever.

[mrsknutt]

At this point and time she pretty much was. A lot of people don't know how messed up she was. She was in a car accident and was institutionalized because she had memory loss for about a year. She claims to have been molested by BOTH parents. She also claims to have had multiple personalties. Really sad. I love this lady though. First t.v. mom to really show what its like to be a mom and not sugar coat it.

[hianda]

Yep, read her books, they're hilarious and it's just a great story, to do what she has with her life from where it started, to making so many people laugh

[xceeejy]

it is sad. but for the record, she also said that it wasn't true that she was molested. she blames her 'demons' for that, since she was, maybe is, mentally ill. i love roseanne. <3

[patkurt06]

Thanks!! great person!

[Iralene]

Thanks for posting. I like her work.

[bscactus]

Thank you and no you are right we hadn't a clue that she would become the sensation she became and we didn't think David Spade would be a big either- Dan Horn- Yes! Thanks for your comments

[sherriwestfall]

Look how young she is! wow.lol

[Stcoty]

Also, this took place the YEAR I WAS BORN!

[Stcoty]

That's such a great clip! If you watch this one and one of the more recent interviews with Ellen, Jimmy Kimmel, or Bill Maher, you'll see that Roseanne as a person is still the same. I wonder if they knew they were in the presence of such a legend.
