Michael Fishman Reveals Hilarious Secret Behind Viral Roseanne Pizza Moment!

by

Among the greatest sitcoms ever made, “Roseanne” undeniably stands among the elite. In terms of opening scenes alone, I believe the dynamic kitchen-table setting of the Conner family would comfortably secure a spot in the top 10. This distinctive view has become just as iconic as the show itself, and it’s gained even more significance lately due to a viral TikTok video highlighting a side-splitting moment from D.J., which caught the attention of actor Michael Fishman himself.

In the ongoing schedule of TV programs in 2025, a TikTok clip has drawn attention to D.J. Conner seemingly having difficulty eating pizza quickly during the opening credits of Season 5. Although it’s a brief scene, check out the video linked below to confirm it for yourself:

It seems the young actor is making an odd “hork” motion, which might be mistaken as a child overly excited about eating pizza, yet failing to convincingly portray that excitement. If there hadn’t been a clarification from Michael Fishman, who plays on both Roseanne and The Conners, about the challenging filming day due to excessive pizza consumption, there might have been more debate in the comments. He posted: (Note: I removed the … tags for better readability)

The actor’s unusual “hork” motion could be confused as an overzealous kid trying to act excited about pizza, but it wasn’t quite right. Michael Fishman, who stars in both Roseanne and The Conners, clarified that the day was tough because of all the pizza eaten during filming. He posted this on social media.

As a film enthusiast, let me share an experience: I was advised to devour it swiftly, and I obliged, gulping it down without pause in multiple attempts. Now, I believe you’ve given me a compelling reason for my restraint when it comes to enjoying large portions of pizza!

As a movie critic, I can confidently say that no child, myself included, would turn down the chance to devour as many slices of pizza as they could manage, whether the lens is pointing at us or not. However, it seems Fishman may have taken this concept a tad too far, to the point where he’s reportedly not a regular pizza enthusiast in his adult life.

10 Roseanne Characters Who Haven’t Appeared On The Conners Yet That I’d Love To See Again

Fans of “The Conners” will recognize that Michael Fishman has been absent from the ABC series since his departure in 2022. Unlike Roseanne Barr’s dismissal after Season 1, Michael’s exit was not as dramatic. Whether he might reappear on the show again, either now or in the future, is uncertain at this point. His possible return may or may not involve a change in appetite.

Indeed, Fishman or any other actor will have a restricted number of appearances on The Conners, since Season 7 marks the conclusion of the revived series. It’s quite remarkable to contemplate given that the show was initially designed as a single revival and faced significant controversy resulting in the dismissal of its lead star. Nevertheless, I believe it highlights the enduring appeal of the original series that viewers continued to follow along for additional Conner family escapades despite all the turmoil. Fingers crossed, they’ll be treated to this grand finale event before saying goodbye.

The last season of “The Conners” is set to premiere on ABC in March 2025. I can’t wait to find out how the story unfolds from here, and since I’ve learned quite a bit about Michael Fishman’s dietary preferences, I doubt D.J.’s pizza consumption will be a recurring theme in Season 7.
