John Goodman responds after 'Roseanne' cancellation

The actor opens up after the show's cancellation

After Roseanne Barr's controversial statements caused the cancellation of the reboot of "Roseanne," John Goodman has finally broken his silence. "Everything's fine," he assured "Entertainment Tonight" in a new video. "I wasn't gonna get an Emmy anyway. I've been up there times already, and if I didn't get one, I'm not gonna get one."He declined to get into it any further, but given his critically acclaimed career outside "Roseanne," it's easy to believe the actor isn't concerned. News broke Wednesday that ABC might consider moving forward with the show without Barr, which Goodman said he didn't know anything about.Throughout the press tour for "Roseanne's" reboot, Goodman often dodged political questions, letting Barr talk about her love for Trump. Instead, Goodman was open about his battle with alcoholism. His line was often that he "didn't care" what the politics were on the show, as he told Seth Meyers. The closest he got to addressing politics was when The Hollywood Reporter asked him if the reboot would have been as powerful if Hillary had won the election. "Yeah, because the family is still sunk no matter who gets in ," Goodman responded.
