John Goodman's Monologue

Summary: John Goodman may be hosting the show tonight, but members of the cast and the audience are more interested in his co-star, Roseanne Barr (Victoria Jackson), who's hanging out backstage. Recurring Characters: Roseanne Barr. Note: In the original life broadcast, the pre-taped segment with Goodman's wife sitting alone in the audience failed to start, causing the monologue to end abruptly without its punchline. Goodman jokes about this during the Goodnights by pretending to hypnotize the live audience by chanting "There was no technical screw-up!" Both segments were replace with their dress rehearsal versions for reruns.
