She’s back from the cancellation hell.
According to a report from The New York Post, comedian Roseanne Barr has landed a new show on Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter). Barr, 70, was signed to a six-figure deal by Publicsq.
PublicSq positions itself as an online conservative marketplace, rivaling Amazon.
From The New York Post:
The company, which went public via SPAC last month, will be the exclusive sponsor for whatever comes out of the comedian’s often foul mouth when the show debuts this month.
It could involve a written monologue or sketch comedy, be at least a half hour long and air monthly, sources said.
No matter the format, it is sure to be provocative — and just what the self-avowed free speech absolutist Musk is looking for as he seeks to bring more original content to the site formerly known as Twitter.
“We’re followers of Elon and it’s pretty evident to us that whatever we want goes,” Barr told On The Money.
“It’s a great way for people to fight back against totalitarianism,” she added.
Sources with knowledge of how the union of these strangest of bedfellows came together point to YouTube’s decision to remove a video from its website in which Barr joked about holocaust denialism and Jews controlling the media. Barr herself is Jewish.

Amazing. @therealroseanne will be partnering with @officialpsq to launch a monthly show live on Twitter/X. @elonmusk has said that “comedy is legal” on his platform.
I know Roseanne will take advantage of that. Can’t wait for this 😂🔥 https://t.co/MY4jiJedBU
