Jimmy Kimmel on Roseanne Cancellation

[Rhiannon12866]

ABC today decided to cancel their highest rated show following a controversial tweet in which Roseanne Barr compared an African-American woman, a former advisor to President Obama, to an ape. This did not sit well with ABC management, or anyone with a brain, and they announced that the show’s first season would also be its last. “Roseanne” was a very big hit for ABC, but just because Roseanne is gone, that doesn’t mean the show has to. The show must go on and with that said, Jimmy has an idea that could make this work for everyone.

1. They could Charlie Sheen her.

DAN: "We were just walking through WalMart and Roseanne thought a woman in a hijab was shoplifting hummus and started throwing trays of pork chops at her and screaming at me to call ICE. Turns out this lady was the deli manager pulling expired product and now Rosie's in jail being prosecuted for a hate crime. So, Jackie, how was your day?"

2. It's been done more than once! Or Valerie Harper...

When "Valerie's Family" became "The Hogan Family."
