John Goodman isn’t mincing words—his friendship with former co-star Roseanne Barr remains fractured, years after the controversial end of their hit sitcom revival.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Goodman addressed the lingering tension between them, confirming they haven’t spoken in nearly a decade. The rift stems from the abrupt cancellation of Roseanne in 2018 after Barr’s racist remarks about Valerie Jarrett, which led ABC to revive the show without her as The Conners.

When asked if he ever reached out to Barr after the transition, Goodman was blunt: “No. I doubt she even wants to talk to me.” He added, “We haven’t spoken in seven or eight years.”

Still, Goodman insisted the cast moved forward smoothly. “We had a strong team, and everyone shined,” he said, crediting the ensemble for keeping the show alive.

Despite their estrangement, Goodman reminisced fondly about their early chemistry. “From day one, we just clicked. She cracked me up, I cracked her up—it was a blast,” he recalled of their Roseanne days in the late ’80s and ’90s. “Back then, we were pulling in 20, 30 million viewers. TV’s changed a lot since then, but that era was something special.”

Goodman also admitted he never expected The Conners to last as long as it did. After the original revival’s swift cancellation, he assumed his time as Dan Conner was over. “I figured it was a one-and-done deal. Then we got picked up again—without Roseanne—and suddenly, we were on for seven seasons,” he said. “Didn’t see that coming, but I loved every minute of it.”
