"Well it was pretty exciting, I'll tell you that much," Roseanne Barr said to George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s "Good Morning America." "It was just very sweet of him to congratulate us."

“We just kind of had a private conversation but we talked about a lot of things and you know, he’s just happy for me,” Barr explained.

"'They were unbelievable, over 18 million people' — and it was about us!" he said.
