QAnon Psycho Rosanne Barr Gets Show On Fox Nation
QAnon cultists
Comedian, racist, and QAnon conspiracy theory enthusiast Roseanne Barr is slated to produce and star in her own 2023 Fox Nation comedy special. The network’s decision to hire Barr continues the streaming service’s history of platforming conspiracy theorists and extremists.
In a statement to Deadline, Fox Nation President Jason Klarman said that the outlet is “thrilled” to add Barr to its entertainment catalog.
By enlisting Barr, Fox executives have decided to turn a blind eye to her embrace of QAnon and other conspiracy theories, as well as her racist, anti-Muslim, and antisemitic comments over the years. Barr’s history is on par with Fox News’ typical programming, however, which has spread conspiracy theories, white supremacy, and violent rhetoric.
Barr is also not the first QAnon adherent to be given their own slot on Fox Nation. Previously, conspiracy theorist Lara Logan and QAnon promoter Isaiah Washington were granted shows on the streaming service.
Here is a brief look at the comedian’s history of making extremist claims and pushing conspiracy theories:
Barr’s Embrace Of QAnon And Extremist Views
- Barr’s ABC sitcom Roseanne was canceled in 2018 after she published racist tweets about former President Barack Obama’s senior adviser Valerie Jarrett.
- Barr appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast in 2019 and promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory.

Once again Rogan's show is a hub for conspiracy-mongering and a far-right spin room. pic.twitter.com/iuwvYLIK8Y

Roseanne Barr, the most famous Q-Anon believer, will be interviewed on Hannity tonight. Hopefully, the topic doesn't stray far from her firing from ABC, but I wouldn't be surprised if she uses the live interview as an opportunity to promote the conspiracy theory. pic.twitter.com/jatu6Uw2O2
