John Goodman won’t be joining Roseanne Barr in her new sitcom.
Barr revealed that her son asked the actor to make a cameo in Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable, but Goodman turned down the invitation.
“My son called Goodman and asked him to do a cameo on Meemaw and he declined,” the 73-year-old told The Hollywood Reporter during a wide-ranging interview about the new series and her career, which was shared on Tuesday, October 20.
The exchange came as Barr discussed her relationship with Goodman and Laurie Metcalf, her former Roseanne co-stars. Asked whether they had been like a family, Barr replied, “I did too.” She said she is no longer in contact with either actor. “Nobody is more brokenhearted than me,” she added, saying she chooses to remember the fun and good times.
Goodman played Dan Conner, Barr’s husband on Roseanne, which ran from 1988 to 1997 before returning for a revival in 2018. ABC canceled the revival after Barr posted an offensive tweet about former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett. The franchise continued as The Conners, with Goodman and much of the ensemble cast, for seven seasons.

Barr’s new project is a self-financed, single-camera sitcom inspired by her life in Texas. She plays the matriarch of a mixed-race family of preppers who runs into trouble while trying to raise money for her granddaughter’s bat mitzvah. Barr described the character as “a really wacky old lady,” and said, “I’m a prepper,” like the character.
The cast includes Drea de Matteo as Barr’s daughter, Omar Gooding as her son-in-law, and Randy Quaid as her romantic interest. Barr said she had fun making the series and is now looking for a distributor. So while Meemaw has been filmed, it doesn’t yet have a network or streaming home.
Barr also discussed trying to get Elon Musk’s attention about the show. “I don’t know why he hasn’t called me or returned my calls,” she revealed. She added that, of all people, she thought she was the person Musk should call. So far, though, Barr has not heard back.
