Julie Chen praised fellow The Talk cohost Sara Gilbert for her reaction following Roseanne Barr?s controversial comments that resulted in the cancellation of the Roseanne reboot.
I?m just so impressed by everything that she has done. She put together our show, The Talk,? Chen told Us Weekly of her colleague at the FYC event on Tuesday, June 5. ?She?s the one who single-handedly is responsible for getting Roseanne, the revival, back on the air.?
?I was so impressed by her comments [when] she said, ?I support that the decision for ABC to cancel it,? and see the compassion that she had for everyone who has lost their job. Their life depended on it,? the Big Brother host, 48, continued, referring to a statement Gilbert made on The Talk on June 4 after ABC announced on May 29 that it was cancelling the show. ?It was a strong, powerful statement, and I was proud to be there, sitting with her, as her friend and colleague.?
