The actress, who has restarted her sitcom canceled by ABC following racist comments on Twitter, revealed that she "has almost already accepted a really good offer to return to TV".

Roseanne Barr could make a second comeback in 2018 after revealing that she had been offered "many" opportunities to return to television.

Speaking about the podcast of Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, his second appearance on the program, Barr devotes much of the interview to talking about the Torah and his Jewish faith, but she also hinted at a possible return to the television. "I have already offered so many things and have almost already accepted a really interesting offer to return to TV and I could do it, but we will see," she said.

The iconic comic sitcom Roseanne was resurrected by ABC this year, with a friendlier fondness of Trump, and debuted at stunning ratings. But the start of the storm announced a dramatic end as the show was canceled after Barr made racist remarks against former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett. ABC is currently working on a spin-off of Roseanne titled The Conners that will not feature the character of Barr, focusing instead on the rest of the cast.

Barr tells Boteach that she did not ask for money when she signed the rights to her eponymous show as an act of "penance" and that she "did not did not want to hurt the new show "or for the Roseanne sank, especially the African-American actress Jayden Rey, to lose their job.

"I thought signing my own life and asking nothing in return, I thought it was a penance Sometimes you ask people what you think should be done for you, knowing what you're hurting done and it seems like people always know what needs to be done to them I just knew it was the right thing and I want to do the right thing because I've lived my life most of the time, to do what is good for everyone, not just Jews, "she said.

Boteach also urged Barr if she had reached out and apologized to Valerie Jarrett privately. has not yet said, but she "prayed for the right words" before talking to Jarrett.
