What cancelled ABC (US) TV show is Seth Meyers talking about in this comedic monologue?
In Seth Meyers' recent "Back in My Day" monologue Back in My Day: O.J. Simpson on Twitter, BTS at about 02:43 he says:
Back in my day, people weren’t getting cancelled online for saying something stupid or racist. Back in my day if you said something stupid or racist, you got cancelled by ABC. But then, they tried to bring your show back without you, but it was tricky, because your name was in the title. In fact, it was the title. [Laughter]
Which cancelled ABC (American Broadcasting Company) TV show is he describing?
I would think that it could be Roseanne except that the idea behind "Back in My Day" is that he is referring to things that happened decades ago.
Best Answer
He is referencing the 2018 revival of the 1988 sitcom Roseanne, which was cancelled after its star, Roseanne Barr, made questionable comments on twitter.
