Roseanne Barr

Rating: NNNNN

What a difference a decade makes. Once upon a time Roseanne Barr was a regular fixture in our living rooms – and our tabloids. The self-made woman who put working-class female life up on the small screen tried her hand at a TV talk show a few seasons ago, but it didn’t fly. Now, besides hearing her inimitable pipes in Disney’s Home On The Range, you can check out her rare stand-up act – and see her newly svelte bod – this Wednesday (April 28) at the Hummingbird.

Why should people sit in the front row for your show? To see up my dress.

Why shouldn’t they? So they can’t see up my dress.

What’s the key to staying glamorous? Carbs. Bush or Kerry? Anyone but Bush. Why don’t more drag queens do you? They’re just not classy enough.

If you and your Home On The Range co-stars Judi Dench and Jennifer Tilly got into a mud-wrestling match, who would win? Me. I’m tougher and dirtier.

What scenes were cut from the film? The porn.

What will we learn in the DVD commentary? That it was “udderly” ridiculous.

What did you learn from Meryl Streep in She-Devil? She taught me how to pilfer.

Has the reality show fad run its course? No. At the end, there will be live executions – so we still have a ways to go.
