Roseanne Barr, meanwhile, had her own issues with ABC’s approach. After being booted from her own revival of Roseanne for a controversial tweet, Barr has always harbored resentment toward the network’s apparent double standards. “They fact-checked Trump like he was reading off the back of a cereal box,” she said, “but Kamala could’ve said the moon was made of tofu, and they’d have nodded along.”

After the debate, social media exploded with calls for ABC to apologize to Trump and his supporters. But ABC doubled down, defending their decision to fact-check as part of their journalistic duty. That was enough for Allen and Barr to walk.

Following the Trump-Harris debacle, Tim Allen and Roseanne Barr released a joint statement, confirming they were canceling their show with ABC and explaining why. In typical no-nonsense fashion, Allen opened with, “ABC has lost its credibility. If they can’t even host a fair debate without turning it into a fact-checking circus, what hope is there for honest entertainment?”

Barr added, “I got kicked off my own show for a joke. Meanwhile, ABC’s out here giving Kamala Harris a free pass while fact-checking everything Trump says. Where’s the fairness in that? We’re not going to work with a network that bends over backward for the woke agenda and pretends it’s journalism.”

The statement quickly went viral, with conservative media hailing the pair as champions of free speech and anti-woke warriors. It wasn’t long before #ABCisOverParty was trending, with fans of Allen and Barr vowing to boycott the network. And for once, it wasn’t about a sitcom—it was about a culture war.

It’s safe to say that ABC is feeling the sting. The network had pinned high hopes on America Uncanceled as a way to win back conservative viewers who felt alienated by Hollywood’s progressive leanings. But now, with Allen and Barr pulling out, ABC is left holding an empty promise and facing the wrath of a growing anti-woke movement.
