Barr recently made headlines from telling students to drop out of college during a speech at a fundraiser for Senate candidate Kari Lake at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, Newsweek reported. Lake is running for Arizona Senate seat currently held by Krysten Sinema after she announced she would not seek reelection.
A post shared on Facebook claimed Allen and Barr are working on a new program. The post shared a photo of each of the comedians with an alleged headline underneath.
The alleged headline reads, “Breaking: Roseanne Barr and Tim Allen Join Create New Non-Woke Actors Guild.”

Esspots Facebook account made the original post. The account also clearly claims to be satire saying, “We post SATIRE, nothing on this page is real.”
