Reba McEntire<\/strong>\u2018s NBC sitcom Happy\u2019s Place<\/em> found a subtle way to playfully throw shade at the Baldwin brothers.<\/p>\n

During the Friday, January 16, episode, Steve (Pablo Castelblanco<\/strong>) considered exploring a side gig as an actor. He lost hope after not booking his first audition, which is when Bobbie (McEntire) stepped in to offer some advice.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou lost out on one role, you will get the next one,\u201d she told Steve, who fired back, \u201cNo I won\u2019t. The skill to be a great actor is rare.\u201d<\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cYou have to be born with it. Like a [Meryl] Streep<\/strong> or a [Robert] De Niro<\/strong> \u2014 or two of the Baldwin brothers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tHappy\u2019s Place has enjoyed keeping it in the TV family by casting numerous stars from Reba McEntire\u2018s past sitcom Reba. Reba, which aired from 2001 to 2007, starred McEntire, Melissa Peterman, Christopher Rich, JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Steve Howey. Nearly two decades later, McEntire and Peterman reunited with former Reba executive producer Kevin Abbott on [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The Baldwins are a family of performers with Alec Baldwin<\/strong> leading the charge. He is the eldest of brothers Daniel Baldwin, William Baldwin <\/strong>and Stephen Baldwin<\/strong>. Happy\u2019s Place<\/em> has found creative ways to poke fun at pop culture in the past \u2014 with a November 2025 episode of the show featuring a joke about Al Pacino<\/strong> becoming a father again at age 83.<\/p>\n

Happy\u2019s Place<\/em> centers around Bobbie as she inherits her father\u2019s restaurant and discovers a new business partner in her long-lost half-sister (Belissa Escobedo<\/strong>). The show also stars Melissa Peterman, Rex Linn, Pablo Castelblanco<\/strong> and Tokala Black Elk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The NBC sitcom brought McEntire, 70, and Peterman, 54, back together more than 17 years after their hit series Reba ended its six-year run on The WB. Reba also starred Scarlett Pomers <\/strong>and Mitch Holleman<\/strong>, both of whom have yet to make a cameo after Chris Rich <\/strong>and Steve Howey<\/strong> appeared in season 1. (JoAnna Garcia Swisher<\/strong> is set to appear on the show later this season.)<\/p>\n

Before the show returned for season 2, McEntire and Escobedo, 27, shared how they were excited for viewers to see how much Happy\u2019s Place<\/em> has evolved.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a great place to be. We know our audience, we know each other better and we\u2019ve gelled. We didn\u2019t have that big of a break between the first season ending and second season beginning so we just fell right back into it,\u201d McEntire exclusively told Us Weekly<\/em>. \u201cWe\u2019re bonding a lot more. All six of us are very confident and very comfortable with each other \u2014 to a point that when we do have a guest cast, we feel very comfortable sharing the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tReba McEntire\u2019s NBC series Happy\u2019s Place has allowed her and Melissa Peterman to reunite with several of their Reba costars \u2014 but who from the hit sitcom hasn\u2019t made a cameo yet? Reba, which aired from 2001 to 2007, starred McEntire, Peterman, Christopher Rich, JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Steve Howey. The show followed a single [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Escobedo said the connection can be felt on the show.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we get more comfortable and more bonded, we see it in the characters as well,\u201d she added. \u201cBecause we\u2019re getting comfortable with our own characters and so each personality gets a little deeper. You get more into that person.\u201d<\/p>\n
