Reba McEntire to Star in New Sitcom Pilot on NBC: ‘She Modeled Herself on Lucille Ball’


Reba McEntire is set to star in a new pilot for a sitcom on NBC. 'Comedy is a natural fit for her,' a friend exclusively tells Closer of her next project.

Reba McEntire couldn’t hold back her excitement over being invited to sing the national anthem at Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. Reba and Rex met on the set of the 1991 TV movie The Gambler Returns: The Luck of the Draw, but their friendship took a turn toward romance when they appeared on an episode of Young Sheldon in 2020. Reba recently returned to TV for her second season as a coach on The Voice alongside John Legend, Chance the Rapper and series newcomers Dan + Shay.
