President Donald Trump personally called Roseanne Barr on Wednesday to congratulate her on the blockbuster premiere of her eponymous show, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders told The New York Times.
Barr plays a Trump supporter in “Roseanne,” a revival of the popular 90s sitcom of the same name, which premiered on Tuesday evening to a whopping 18.2 million viewers, according to Nielsen. In comparison, revivals for hit shows American Idol and Will and Grace drew an average of just over 10 million for their season debuts.
