Roseanne star brushes off the axed show's Emmy problems
John Goodman has stayed relatively quiet to the the drama surrounding Roseanne Barr's racist tweet and the subsequent cancellation of the sitcom Roseanne.
He previously said he didn't want to comment directly on the show's axe as he didn't want to "cause more trouble", but he has since addressed the upcoming Emmy Awards.
ABC has hinted heavily that the show may not be considered for any nods for the series' 10th season, but Goodman didn't seem too concerned about it.
"I wasn't gonna get an Emmy anyway," Goodman told ET. "I've been up there [11] times already, and if I didn't get one I'm not gonna get one."
Since Barr posted the racist tweet last month where she compared Obama aide Valerie Jarrett to a character from Planet of the Apes and then denied that her intent was racist, stars including Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman and Emma Kenney have strongly condemned her.
The comedian later lashed out at Gilbert and Fishman, accusing them of 'throwing her under the bus'.
More recently, however, Roseanne has tweeted that she "forgives" all those who have been against her and just wants "peace".
"I forgive everyone who hurt me," she tweeted. "I forgive as fast as I can everyday. That is why I am able to live free. I want the best for everyone-I want no more racism or anti semitism or classism. I want peace! Let's all move on & help FREEDOM!"
Since Roseanne was cancelled, there have been reports that co-stars John Goodman, Sara Gilbert and Laurie Metcalf could regroup for a spin-off or a new show without Barr.
