ROSEANNE BARR: LIVE FROM THE TRUMP CASTLE (TV)

Summary

This comedy special features actress/stand-up comedian Roseanne Barr. To begin the show, Barr's husband, Tom Arnold, appears on stage to warm up the crowd and introduce his wife. Barr arrives on stage, escorted by casino owner Donald Trump, and begins her routine. Highlights of the act include: Barr shows off her singing voice with a medley of songs directed at men and women; jokes about her stay at the Betty Ford Clinic and the reasons she went through rehabilitation; discusses the gay lifestyle; stops her new material to return to the original jokes that gave her her start in comedy; and discourses the following topics: men and the sexual problems that are associated with them; the pros and cons of having a relationship with a younger man; the reasons she can't manage money or balance a checkbook; the differences between men and women's needs and what the two sexes want out of life; and getting older. To conclude the show, Barr makes a confession and delivers a very special message to funnyman Arsenio Hall.
