Roseanne Barr on President Trump congratulating her: "That's the most exciting thing ever"

ABC News

"It was pretty exciting, I'll tell you that much," Barr said on Good Morning America Thursday in reaction to the president of the United States calling to congratulate her on the Roseanne revival's blockbuster ratings. (White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders confirmed the call took place.)  Barr told George Stephanopoulos she and Trump had a private conversation since she's known him for years. "He really understands ratings and how they measure things, and that's kind of been an interest of mine too for a long time," she said.
