Comedian Roseanne Barr has voiced her opinion that Hollywood has lost touch with the American public, suggesting the industry should collaborate with the newly elected president to regain relevance and profitability. Barr, who faced controversy and was fired from ABC during the revival of her show "Roseanne," is planning her return to television.

Barr criticizes Hollywood's perceived ideological stance, contrasting it with a business-minded approach. She questions why shareholders tolerate financial losses seemingly driven by political viewpoints. Barr also expressed that despite her support for President Trump, she believes the administration views her as unpredictable.

She revealed she extended invitations to Trump's team to appear on her podcast, but they declined. Barr characterizes herself as a "loose cannon" and not beholden to any party line.

Barr's upcoming comedy series is described as a blend of "The Roseanne Show" and "The Sopranos," featuring unconventional humor and potentially controversial themes. The show, inspired by her life on a Hawaiian farm with her family, portrays working-class characters overcoming challenges with elements of guns, religion, minor offenses, and alcohol. Barr emphasized that she's prepared to produce the show independently if Hollywood doesn't embrace it, highlighting her desire to create content that resonates with everyday viewers.

Following her past experience with ABC, Barr stated her unwillingness to work with the network again, expressing a preference for substantial compensation to revive a struggling network but acknowledging concerns about network interference. She indicated she's open to other platforms, including her own website, for distribution. Barr's 2018 firing stemmed from a tweet deemed racist, which she attributed to the influence of Ambien. In a documentary, Barr characterized the incident as a "witch-burning" and claimed ongoing conflicts with ABC over her social media activity.
