Fox Gives Roseanne Barr’s Comedy Comeback Special ‘Cancel This!’ an NFL Boost (Exclusive)
Barr's first comedy special since 2006 now has a title, 'Cancel This!', and a debut date, as Fox Nation launches a marketing campaign off Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Note the promotions aired on Fox after the NFC game with San Francisco 49ers vs. Philadelphia Eagles.
Roseanne Barr’s return to stand-up comedy is getting a boost from Sunday’s NFL NFC championship game.
The Hollywood Reporter has learned that Fox will use today’s NFC Championship Game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles to launch a marketing campaign for Barr’s comedy comeback effort, which will be called Roseanne Barr: Cancel This!
The 15-second ad sees Barr stepping up to the microphone onstage, before asking the crowd, “Has anybody else been fired recently?” Cancel This! will debut on the Fox Nation streaming service Feb. 13, and will be Barr’s first comedy special since Blonde and Bitchin’, aired on HBO in 2006. The new special was taped in front of a live audience at Houston’s Cullen Theatre, and the streaming service will release a special called Who Is Roseanne Barr? in conjunction with the project.
