Jerry Seinfeld Rips ABC For ‘Roseanne’ Cancellation

Legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld went off on ABC for firing Roseanne Barr — and how they handled the show afterward.

The Wrap reports:

Jerry Seinfeld is questioning ABC’s decision to cancel Roseanne Barr’s rebooted sitcom in the wake of her incendiary tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett.

“I didn’t see why it was necessary to fire her,” Seinfeld told “Entertainment Tonight” in a new interview. “Why would you murder someone who’s committing suicide?”

ABC canceled “Roseanne” last month after Barr’s racially charged tweet about Jarrett, and subsequently ordered a spin-off, “The Conners,” based around the other characters in the sitcom. Barr will have no financial or creative involvement in the new series.

Seinfeld argued that ABC should have tried to bring in another female comic to fill Barr’s shoes, rather than simply be down one cast member.

“I think they should get another Roseanne,” he continued. “They brought Dan Conner back — he was dead and they brought him back. So, why can’t we get another Roseanne? There’s other funny women that could do that part. You need to get the comic in there. I hate to see a comic lose a job.”
