() Comedian Roseanne Barr, whose ABC sitcom was canceled in 2018 over social media posts, tells that Jimmy Kimmel will “double down” rather than apologize for his remarks that resulted in the temporary suspension of his show.

“I think he’ll cheer himself on and his fans, all what is it, 2000 of them. They’ll feel heartened and, you know, like they won another battle against Trump and the people of the United States,” Barr tells . “So it’ll be a big celebration. Oh, he’s back and he’ll double down.”

The Walt Disney Company announced Monday it was resuming production of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday after suspending the late-night talk show last week over what the company called “ill-timed and insensitive” comments about Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Barr’s own experience with ABC ended abruptly in May 2018 when the network canceled her rebooted sitcom “Roseanne” after she called former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and “Planet of the Apes” in a Twitter post.

The show had been ABC’s most-watched series that season before its cancellation.

“I apologize. I am now leaving Twitter,” Barr wrote. A few minutes later, she tweeted, “I apologize to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans. I am truly sorry for making a bad joke about her politics and her looks. I should have known better. Forgive me-my joke was in bad taste.”

What did Jimmy Kimmel say?

During his show that got him suspended, Kimmel said the country “hit some new lows over the weekend,” when the “MAGA gang desperately tried to characterize this kid who killed Kirk as anything other than one of them.”

The 57-year-old comedian, who has had a late-night show on ABC since 2003, accused Republicans of trying to “score political points” from Kirk’s death.
