Format
[edit]The show featured Barr interviewing guests.[1] During some episodes there were live call-ins or web chats from viewers and celebrities. The set of the show consisted of a living room, a kitchen, and a garden scene. The set rotated to present a different interview setting. The show also featured skits with audience member participation. Skits included Judge Roseanne, The Dr. Is In-sane and a dating game-esque skit. Some skits also included her producer Mary Pelloni. Throughout the show's entire two-year run, Dailey Pike was Roseanne's warmup guy and sidekick regular on the show. In season one, Zach Hope was Roseanne's cyber sidekick. Later in season two, Michael Fishman, who portrayed D.J. Conner on Roseanne, replaced Hope as Roseanne's cyber sidekick.

Production
[edit]The show was taped before a live studio audience at CBS Television City stage 46 in Hollywood, California. It was produced by King World Productions under co-production of Roseanne's own company, Full Moon and High Tide Productions.
On October 7, 1999, John Lydon was scheduled to appear on the show but was removed before rehearsal for having his own camera crew backstage despite having written consent from the producer. The entire show with John Lydon was canceled, along with the rest of the week's tapings.[2][3] After that week, the show continued production until June 2000.
