This conversation with Roseanne Barr was exactly what I hoped it would be—real, unfiltered, and a little bit wild in the best way.

We talked about her childhood in Salt Lake City, the moment she says God told her she’d have her own show when she was just three, and how that early vision shaped her entire worldview. She opened up about her rise in stand-up comedy, what it really took to get Roseanne on the air, and the battles she fought for creative control.

But she didn’t shy away from the hardest parts: the tweet that blew up her career, the accusations of racism, the fallout from being “canceled,” and how she sees media and politics today. Roseanne is blunt, sometimes controversial, but always raw and honest. She shared how she’s rebuilt her life, why she still believes in pushing boundaries with comedy, and what matters most to her now—her family, her grandkids, and her personal freedom.

If you think you know Roseanne Barr, this conversation might surprise you.
