Tom Arnold Explains the ‘Worst’ Thing Roseanne Barr Did to Him

Tom Arnold said Roseanne Barr should have taken her comments about his manhood ‘to the grave.’
“People say, ‘My Crazy X-Wife, oh I know which one that is. It’s Roseanne,’” he said, referring to what his fans say before seeing his comedy show. “And I’m like, ‘She’s not even close to my craziest ex-wife because we didn’t have kids together.’”
Arnold continued by dishing on the most embarrassing thing Barr had ever done to him, saying, “The worst thing she did was go on Saturday Night Live and say I have a three-inch p—-, which is confidential information. You take that to the grave.”
The 66-year-old comedian then joked about Barr’s claim. “Even a 747 looks small when it flies over the Grand Canyon,” he quipped.

“I have four ex-wives. And you can have three ex-wives and still kind of go, ‘Wait a minute, buddy,’ but if you have four ex-wives, you go, ‘Oh my God, it’s me,’” he said. “And it is me, 100 percent.”
