Over 29 million people have watched the Roseanne reboot since its Tuesday premiere, according to Nielsen ratings. The sitcom clocked in 2 million more viewers than the 90th Academy Awards ceremony, and netted 6.6 million viewers during three days of DVR replays, smashing a record for total viewer growth in the "L+3" ratings category. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump called Barr, an open Trump supporter, to congratulate her on the season 10 premiere. Barr also made headlines recently for her tweets about a 4chan conspiracy theory called QAnon. She thanked Trump on Friday for freeing "so many children in bondage" and breaking up "trafficking rings."
