Fox Entertainment has just announced that they have signed Roseanne Barr to host a new morning show that will air opposite ABC’s popular talk show, “The View”.
The move is being seen as a direct challenge to ABC, which fired Barr from her hit show after she made racist and offensive comments on Twitter.
According to insiders, Fox is hoping that Barr’s outspoken and controversial personality will be a perfect fit for their morning lineup.
“We believe that Roseanne has a unique perspective and voice that will resonate with our viewers,” said a spokesperson for the network.
The new show, which has not yet been named, will feature Barr and a rotating panel of guests discussing the latest news and events.
Insiders say that the show will be unapologetically right-wing and will focus on topics such as immigration, gun rights, and “cancel culture”.
ABC, on the other hand, seems unfazed by the competition. “We welcome healthy competition and are confident that ‘The View’ will continue to be the top morning talk show,” said a spokesperson for the network.
However, some critics are already calling out Fox for their decision to hire Barr. “It’s clear that Fox is trying to capitalize on the controversy surrounding Roseanne Barr and her past behavior,” said one commentator. “It’s a shame that they are willing to overlook her offensive comments just for the sake of ratings.”
As of now, it is unclear when the new show will premiere. However, one thing is for sure – the battle between Barr and “The View” is sure to be must-see TV.
