"When I first got famous I kind of lost my mind, kind of like Charlie Sheen...it was just too much all of a sudden. I had 300 people that I was responsible for," said Roseanne, 58.

"And I have to say, Chelsea, I'm so happy to see Rupert Murdoch's stuff crumbling, because when he came to our country, I was one of his first targets, and he tapped my phones, and people went through my garbage and all that kind of stuff does kind of drive you crazy.

"And now here I am sitting here, and that guy's going down...I couldn't be more thrilled!"

Roseanne likened dealing with her sudden fame to "just being in the eye of a hurricane...that's what it felt like."

I'm glad to see Murdoch's evil empire crumbling too. He is responsible for the dumbing down of Americans through his Fox News propaganda. I can't believe people believe that stuff!!!!
