‘Learned Everything From…’: Reba McEntire On Her Comeback In Sitcom With Happy’s Place

When Reba McEntire first played a lead in a primetime sitcom in 2001, Reba, she had no idea what to do. Despite jumping from The WB to The CW, her debut sitcom became a huge hit, had a successful six-season run, and gifted people with an unforgettable theme song. 

Despite having her hands full with her musical career, gigs on The Voice, rescuing small towns, etc., McEntire is set to make her sitcom comeback after 17 years with NBC’s Happy’s Place. The Country legend is set to portray Bobbie, the fiery owner of the titular bar, left to her by her dearly departed father, Happy.  

However, she soon has to adjust to a new dynamic after learning about a step-sister, Isabella (Belissa Escobedo), who has been given half of the bar’s share in Happy’s will. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, McEntire spoke about her “very down-to-earth, no nonsense” character. 

“She was married, but her husband passed away. She has one daughter that is deployed in the Army, so she’s pretty much by herself and her life is spent in the tavern,” the Country singer added. Bobbie will be surrounded by a bunch of titular employees — Melissa Peterman as the clingy bartender Gabby, Pablo Castelblanco as the finicky accountant Steve, McEntire’s real-life boyfriend, Rex Linn as a short-tempered cook Emmett, and many more. 

During the interview, the I’m a Survivor singer credited her show Reba for teaching her everything she knows about sitcoms. “Oh my gosh, I learned everything from [Reba], how to rehearse, how to flow with things,” she said. 

McEntire is definitely a pro when it comes to understanding sitcoms, good enough to give her rookie boyfriend some tips. “This is Rex’s first sitcom and I kind of told him that. I said, ‘Don’t memorize everything off the first draft because they’ll change it and they do every day just to improve it,” she said. Instead, she asked him to work on blocking and other technicalities, at least in the initial episodes. That’s what a supportive girlfriend is like!

Happy’s Place premieres Friday, October 18, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, on NBC.

WATCH: Shraddha Kapoor drops cute glimpses of gorging on ‘rooh ko choo jaane wale modaks’; says ‘Ek saal ka quota…’

Shraddha Kapoor, who is enjoying the success of her recently released film, Stree 2, often grabs headlines for being a foodie. And her Instagram handle says it all. Going by her social media presence, Shraddha practices a simple lifestyle, which includes ‘ghar ka khana’, and sometimes, the actress occasionally relishes snacks. On the occasion of Ganesh Visarjan on September 17 (Tuesday), Shraddha Kapoor dropped pictures of gorging on ‘modaks’ and shared that she has fulfilled her cravings for a year. 

Shraddha Kapoor looks oh-so-cute in the recent pictures on her Instagram handle. The collection shows Shraddha’s selfies taken from different angles with modaks in her hand. In some pictures, she is holding a bowl having a piece of modak in it. One of the photos shows her in a geeky look as she flaunts the sweet dish in her hand.

For the uninitiated, modak is a sweet dish offered to Lord Ganesha during the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations. It is believed to be his favorite dish. Modak resembles momos in looks but tastes differently. While momos dumplings are spicy, modak has sweet fillings.

Shraddha penned a hilarious note in her caption. In the post, the Stree 2 actress suggested that she won’t be eating modaks for a year.

“Ek saal ka modak quota done dona done tinga linga ling tinga tinga linga ling,” she wrote.

Take a look at her post here:

Shraddha Kapoor fans went gaga over her latest post on Instagram. Referring to Stree 2, one of the Instagram users wrote, “Oh Stree don’t eat junk food.” The actress replied to him in the comment section. Her hilarious reply read, “Modak is rooh ko choo jaane wala food.” 

Check out screenshots of their interaction on her post:

Back in July this year, Shraddha Kapoor ate home-cooked food after two weeks as she geared up for the release of Stree 2. Shraddha posted a picture of the ‘ghar ka khana’ on Instagram which featured daal, rice and pickle.

“2 hafte baad ghar ka khaana…kitna miss kiya ye samjhaau ki chup chaap khaau?” read her caption.

Shraddha Kapoor is best known for movies like Aashiqui 2, Ek Villain, Haider, and Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar.
