John Goodman is opening up about the cancellation of Roseanne, but the celebrated actor is being cautious about his comments regarding the controversy.

In recent footage obtained by ET, Goodman was at an auto repair shop in New Orleans where he was collecting his car after repairs. The actor was reluctant to address the drama, explaining that he would "rather say nothing than to cause more trouble."

However, the 65-year-old actor -- who played Roseanne Barr's on-screen husband, Dan Conner, on the ABC sitcom -- assured fans that he's doing OK amid the controversy, sharing, "Everything's fine."

The actor also seemed pretty content with ABC deciding to suspend its Emmys For Your Consideration campaign for the shows recent 10th season, which means that none of the cast or creators would likely see any love from this year's Emmy Awards.

"I wasn't gonna get an Emmy anyway," Goodman said, shrugging. "I've been up there [11] times already, and if I didn't get one I'm not gonna get one."

Goodman was nominated for 11 Emmys between 1988 and 2010 -- six of which were for his role on Roseanne. Goodman did take home one Emmy in 2007 for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for his role on the short-lived series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.

The sitcom also earned the veteran TV star five Golden Globe nominations, of which he won once, in 1993.

Goodman said he hasn't been following the news of the developing controversy regarding Roseanne, stating, "I don't know anything about it. I don't read it."

That includes rumors and speculation that the show could possibly continue in the future in the form of a spin-off, if Barr's titular character was written off, and the focus was shifted to Goodman's character. The actor said of the rumors, "Then you've heard more than I have."

He breaks his silence by being silent. Why didn't I get into journalism?

I saw a comment string on Reddit last night saying it would be hilarious to kill off Roseanne and have Dan marry a black woman named Roseanne.


I'd seriously be in tears if they did that.

He won't even condemn Rosanne's words? His silence is deafening. I will not be watching whatever he's involved in in the future.

John Goodman has always been a class act.

Damn right. I clicked on a couple articles this afternoon about people reacting to the news, and I didn't see John Goodman anywhere - I can respect that, but I've still been curious.

Now we've got something, even if it's some TMZ level paparazzo trying to get a headline out of him. Tactful response, super fucking humble and just generally a clean, chill image. John Goodman has always come across as a good dude, and this response does nothing to shake that impression.

I'd be in tears of laughter, and this is coming from someone that enjoyed Roseanne show.

He's probably struggling really hard right now to say some very not nice things about Roseanne.

Must be difficult for him. Knowing somebody and being their friend for 30+ years and knowing that they do have a good side, but they say some really dumb shit from time to time that's impossible to defend so to they to stay neutral.

Props to him.
