Hannity frequently prodded Roseanne to apologize for her comments about the former Obama aide. "I've apologized a lot," Roseanne said to Hannity. She then later said to Jarrett "sorry that you thought I was racist." Tearing up at times, Barr said, "I want people to like me. I don't want them to hate me."
But she also expressed pride in the ratings success that the "Roseanne" revival had, saying, "They can't take that away from me no matter what's happened." Will Barr ever be able to recover from the damage to her reputation? Was appearing with Hannity a good idea? Will Barr continue to do interviews?
