John Goodman Says Bidding Farewell To ‘The Conners’ Is “Really Hard”: “A Great Place To Work”

After 35 years of dedicated work, actor John Goodman reflects on his farewell to "The Conners," expressing the emotional heft of bid farewell to his role as Dan Conner after nearly three decades. He recalls how fast the series' revival seemed to pass and the emotional toll of leaving a character you've nurtured for years. Goodman also thanked ABC and its talented team, especially his costar Jay R. Ferguson, who often brought their on-screen moments to life with humor and shared passion. And he praised the network for giving them the opportunity to finish the show after its abbreviated renewal earlier this year.
