91. Wanda Sykes quit the show on thespot

I don't know if Wanda Sykes had a hand in getting Roseanne cancelled or not, but she quit the show as soon as she saw Roseanne Barr's ridiculous hateful tweet. She quit on the spot, announced she wasn't returning to the show.

So one day later the show is cancelled. Good on you Wanda, and awesome of ABC!
