Welcome to Muppet Wiki!
Jerry Nelson and John Goodman on the set of Roseanne as seen on Muppets Tonight.
Roseanne was a sitcom which aired on ABC from 1988 to 1997. Based on the stan- up comedy of Roseanne Barr, who often joked of her status as a "Domestic Godess", the series featured the blue-collar working Conner family and the trials and tribulations of their everyday life. The series remained in the top four of the ratings for six of its nine years and received multiple Emmy Awards.
In the closing scene of Muppets Tonight episode 104, guest star John Goodman is back on the set of Roseanne, and the stagehand that welcomes him back to the show is played by Muppeteer Jerry Nelson. Andy and Randy then show up to reveal that they work for that show now. John is mortified, and the shrill strings played to accentuate this are a nod to Bernard Herrmann's classic Psycho score.
