'The Talk' Host Sara Gilbert Stands Behind ABC's 'Roseanne' Cancellation Decision In the first live episode of The Talk since ABC canceled Roseanne, Sara Gilbert opened her thoughts on the controversial situation on the CBS talk show. Gilbert, who starred in the show as Darlene Conner, told her fellow co-hosts and the studio audience that, although she is sad for all those who lost their jobs during the ordeal, she still supports ABC's decision to cancel the show. . "I'm proud of the show we did, the show has always been about diversity, love and inclusion, and it's sad to see it end this way," he said. "I am sad for the people who lost their jobs in the process, but I am behind the decision that ABC has made." Talk co-host Sheryl Underwood thanked Gilbert for his words on Monday afternoon and praised ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey, who made the decision to cancel the show last week. "I am very happy to hear him say that, because as a black woman who is a comedian, I am very, very proud of Channing Dungey, who is the president of ABC Entertainment," Underwood said at the roundtable. "And as Spike Lee says, a lot of people came together to do the right thing and I'm happy to see that it was done quickly." Prior to the cancellation of the series last week, Gilbert had made a statement condemning Barr's racist comment by comparing former Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett to an ape. "Roseanne's recent comments about Valerie Jarrett, and much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone related to our program, I am disappointed with her actions, to say the least," Gilbert wrote in the notice. last week. "This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, since we have created a show that we believe in, that we are proud of, and that the audience adores: one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of a cast member. " she added. Shortly after Gilbert published his statement, ABC announced that Roseanne's second restarted season was canceled. Since then, Barr apologized for his comment and also defended himself in several scattered versions of Twitter. About 12 hours after the program was canceled, Barr responded to Gilbert's statement and wrote: "Wow! Unreal." She later wrote in an erased tweet since she "forgives" Gilbert for talking about her "in a public setting" instead of talking in private.
