Aug. 13 2012, Published 3:00 p.m. ET
After 18 years of silence, Roseanne Barr and ex-husband Tom Arnold reunited at the TV legend's roast which aired Sunday night on Comedy Central.
“Why am I here? I’m here to honor Roseanne and because I earned it -- the hard way,” said Tom, who parted ways with Roseanne in a messy split back in 1994.
Tom told the She Devil star's current boyfriend, Johnny Argent: "You've gotta stay with this woman. She may not be the perfect wife, but she's literally the worst ex-wife on the planet."
Tom concluded his set with a classy tribute paying homage to his enigmatic ex.
"In 1985, Roseanne went on Johnny Carson, which is every comic's dream back then," he said. "She killed, he laughed his [expletive] off, he gave her a thumbs up and he invited her to sit on his couch. She got validation from the king which can never be taken away from her.
"And I just want to say, Roseanne, you were my Johnny Carson. And thank you for the thumbs up and thank you for inviting me to sit on your couch for a little bit."
When she had her chance to strike back, the outspoken Roseanne said, "If I can bury my roiling-boiling ceaseless hatred for Tom Arnold, maybe there's a chance we can have world peace."

Glee's Jane Lynch hosted the event, kicking off with a hysterical take on current events.
"This show is serving up more old, spoiled hens than Chick-fil-A," Lynch said. "Oh, that reminds me: f--- Chick-fil-A!"
