Episode Details

Jake Pentland, Roseanne Barr’s son, is blasting the cast for allegedly conspiring to get his mom fired after her 2018 racist tweet about Valerie Jarrett — which he says was taken out of context and never properly defended. He’s taking aim at Michael Fishman, who defended ABC’s cancellation, calling it “collateral damage” and accusing him of selling out his mother. Barr claimed she was on Ambien and thought Jarrett was white — a defense she later told Sean Hannity she didn’t realize was racially charged. The fallout led to ABC canceling the revival and launching “The Conners,” which aired without Barr and ended in 2025.
