Former Saturday Night Live star Norm Macdonald has launched a quarantine-style YouTube series and featured his friend Roseanne Barr. During their chat, she shared her conspiracy theory about coronavirus. You know what it is, Norm? I think they're just trying to get rid of all my generation," Barr said.

Barr didn't specify who or what exactly is behind this global pandemic to rid the earth of our elders, but she remained steadfast with her theory. She also added that she's spending her quarantine in Hawaii and that there's only "one [coronavirus] case on the island."
