Roseanne actor John Goodman, best known for his role as Roseanne Barr's on-screen husband, sort of weighed in Thursday on the show's cancellation following Barr's posting of a racist tweet.
Goodman was picking up his car from the shop near his home in New Orleans when he was confronted by an entertainment reporter. "It's not that I disrespect you guys," said the visibly reluctant Goodman, "I just — I would rather say nothing than to cause more trouble." He added that he is doing fine and doesn't "know anything about" Twitter.
