Entertainment Tonight
Reba McEntire, Melissa Peterman, and Steve Howey are basically family after playing a dysfunctional family group on TV for years during Reba.
And guess what? Everyone’s favorite red-headed country star is getting back into the sitcom game with a new show called Happy’s Place, which premieres on NBC tonight. Reba’s new project will be different than her beloved show from the 2000’s (in which she played a fictitious version of herself), but it will share some similarities.
In case you didn’t know, there’s going to be a little bit of a family reunion on McEntire’s new show. Former Reba co-stars Melissa Peterman, who played “Barbra Jean,” and Steve Howey, who played Reba’s son-in-law “Van Montgomery,” will be featured in the cast of Happy’s Place. In my humble opinion, seeing those three together again will make tuning in worthwhile.
Entertainment Tonight actually caught up with the trio of former Reba co-stars on the set of the new NBC show, and one of the questions they asked ended up warranting some funny responses from McEntire and Peterman. ET brought up Steve Howey starring on the hit show Shameless, and whether or not Reba and Melissa kept up with it.
Reba hilariously answered:
“No… I’ll never forget Melissa and I coming to work. (Melissa asking) ‘Did you see Steve last night?’ (Me responding) ‘Yes I did.’ Oh my gosh.”
If you’re not familiar, Shameless is a popular Showtime show centered around the poor and dysfunctional Gallagher family who lives on the Southside of Chicago. Howey plays “Kev” Ball, who goes full frontal in the very first episode, and a number of times more than that throughout the series. So if you’re Reba tuning into your friend’s show for the first time for Episode 1, and you get a big ol’ shot of Kev’s manhood, it’s quite the shock. Melissa Peterman said that Howey should have given them a warning about them:
“I said, ‘You need to warn us if there’s gonna be some unclothing happening in ‘Shameless.’ Because you’re like our brother. It was too much. But then I did watch it later, after I washed my eyes out. Because you’re so good on it.”
Steve admitted that he had to up his workout regime while he was on Shameless, just because the character and the script called for so many shirt-off scenes:
“Well, you know, that’s why I started working out. Because I was naked all the time.”
When Entertainment Tonight followed up and asked Howey if that trend would continue on Happy’s Place, Melissa Peterman butted in and answered the question for him:
“We’re gonna give America what it wants. Steve is going to take his shirt off at some point.”
