Roseanne Barr claimed in a new interview that she has received multiple offers to return to television following the racist tweet that prompted ABC to cancel her show.
Barr made the comment while appearing on her friend Rabbi Shmuley Boteach’s podcast, ABC News first reported.
“Inside every bad thing is a good thing waiting to happen and I feel very excited because I’ve already been offered so many things and I almost already accepted one really good offer to go back on TV and I might do it,” she told Boteach. “But we’ll see.”
The podcast episode, recorded last week, was released Saturday night.

Barr sparked a social media firestorm earlier this year after tweeting that an adviser to former President Obama, Valerie Jarrett, who is black, was the child of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes.”
ABC promptly canceled Barr’s show, the reboot of her sitcom “Roseanne,” which at the time was the top-rated show on television.
The network recently announced a spinoff of the show that will not feature Barr, but will follow the rest of the show’s cast members.
Barr apologized to Jarrett and the public in a tweet after the incident, but said on Boteach’s podcast that she still has not reached out to Jarrett to apologize personally, though she does plan to call her.
“It’s all about right words and you have to do a lot of meditating and praying for the right words and I just don’t know what the right words would be,” she said.
