While visiting Letterman to promote the aptly named Roseanne’s Nuts, the comedic mother of us all described how her sister overheard two people in the audience of the Roseanne pilot complaining, “Who’s gonna watch this? This show’s a piece of crap. Who’s going to watch this show about fat people?” The fact that those people were Roseanne’s agent and the show’s producer should be a surprise to absolutely no one, provided they’ve listened to anything the woman has had to say in last few decades. Another roll of butcher paper for the fired list!
