She has also been known as '''Roseanne Arnold''' and '''Roseanne Thomas'''. For several years in the late 1990s and early 2000s, she was known simply as '''Roseanne'''. By 2005, she had resumed referring to herself by her maiden name. She is best known for playing Roseanne Conner on the [[television programme|television series]] ''[[Roseanne (TV series)|Roseanne]]''. The self-titled series was rebooted in 2018 on ABC with record ratings. A second season of the reboot (what would have been season 11) was eventually ordered. However, ABC cancelled the series after Barr posted a [[Twitter|tweet]] mentioning [[Valerie Jarrett]] (an aide to President [[Barack Obama]]) that was viewed as racist.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thewrap.com/roseanne-barr-valerie-jarrett-muslim-brotherhood-planet-apes/|title=Roseanne Attacks Ex-Obama Aide Valerie Jarrett With Racially Charged Joke|date=2018-05-29|work=TheWrap|access-date=2018-06-03|language=en-US}}</ref> ==Television work== * ''Rodney Dangerfield: It's Not Easy Bein' Me''
