Comedian Roseanne Barr has dropped more than a hint that she may make a second comeback this year, saying she has been offered "many" opportunities to return to TV.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the 65-year-old actor said she "almost" accepted an offer that she might just take up.

"I've already been offered so many things and I almost already accepted one really good offer to go back on TV and I might do it. But we'll see," Barr said on Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's podcast.

The comedian's hit sitcom, "Roseanne", was cancelled in the aftermath of her racist tweets against former President Barack Obama's aide Valerie Jarrett, after being resurrected by ABC, with a more Trump-friendly inclination, and debuted to stunning ratings.

The network is currently working on a "Roseanne" spin-off titled "The Conners" - that will not feature Barr's character, instead will be focusing on the rest of the cast.

Barr told Boteach she did not ask for remuneration when she signed away the rights to her eponymous show as an act of "penance".

"I thought signing off of my own life's work and asking for nothing in return I thought that was a penance. Sometimes you ask people what do you think should be done to you, knowing what you've done wrong and it seems that people always know what should be done to them.

"I just knew that was the right thing and I want to do the right thing because I've lived my life, most part of it, to do the right thing for all people, not just Jews," she said.
