Four Top Comedians Discuss Comedy

[mockmonkey]

1. I was watching an old Beta tape from 1987 the other day

It had Roseanne Barr's first HBO On Location Special "The Roseanne Barr Show" on it. It's very funny except for her gum smacking and sometimes I think she didn't actually have any gum in her mouth.

There is one weird thing about it. Her then real life husband Bill Pentland plays her real life husband on the show (he even has a writing credit) at the beginning and the end segments and Tom Arnold plays her slobbish TV husband for the backstage sections that take place in a trailer that they parked behind the Theater.

I think she still is really funny but that last season of Roseanne needs to be forgotten.

5. I thought they still liked each other...

6. He was a surprise guest at her roast

I think he knows what buttons to push. I think they both like the attention even if it is bad.
