Reba McEntire Reveals What It's Like to Act Alongside Boyfriend Rex Linn and the Big Difference Between Their Approaches
When it comes to acting, Reba McEntire and her boyfriend Rex Linn couldn't be more different. During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, May 13, the 70-year-old country star opened up about season two of her NBC show Happy's Place — and what it's like starring alongside her boyfriend of five years. "He is probably the sane one in the group. On the Reba show, I was the voice of reason, and now he is. So I get to be in the whirlwind of chaotic stuff," McEntire said of his character, Emmett. When asked if they have the same approach to acting, the "Fancy" singer was quick to shake her head "no." "Who takes it more seriously?" asked host Seth Meyers. McEntire responded: "He does. Rex is a stickler on rehearsals. So we'll wake up... every morning we have 'Coffee Camp.' And so, I'll go get the coffee, and he's got a script. I'm like, 'Can we have coffee first?'" She then imitated him and said, "Gotta get to rehearsing right now!" Still, McEntire clarified that she's OK with it because Linn, 68, is a "good guy," and "I like him a lot." McEntire first met Linn while starring in a Kenny Rogers film together in the 1990s. However, their relationship did not turn romantic until 2020. They reconnected after the death of her mother and grew closer during quarantine. Ahead of the 2025 ACM Awards, which she hosted, she told Fox News that she and Linn "get along in every aspect." "He's a better cook than I am, so I like that, for sure. We love Longhorns, we love the cowboy way of life, cowgirl way of life, and we both got into the entertainment industry," she continued. "He's an actor. I'm a singer. I love to act. Now we act together." She went on to call their relationship the "perfect union," adding, "We get along great. We do argue now. We argue a lot, but we have fun doing that too." In addition to Happy's Place and the Rogers film, McEntire and Linn reconnected on the set of Young Sheldon and then went on to costar in the Lifetime original movie The Hammer. In 2022, they played a married couple, Buck and Sunny Barnes, on the third season of ABC's Big Sky. In October, Linn told PEOPLE that they're "running lines constantly" for Happy's Place. "But every once in a while, I'll sneak by for a quick kiss, just a peck on the cheek and keep on moving. It's fun," he said. Read the original article on People

NBC Shuffles Fall 2025 Schedule With NBA, New Comedy Block
The addition of the NBA to NBC's primetime lineup next season will bring about some changes to the network's schedule — but the network is also making a few moves independent of that, including the launch of a new comedy block. NBC, which last had rights to the NBA in 2002, is turning over Tuesday nights to pro basketball when the league's season tips off on Oct. 21. A second night of NBA games will follow on Sundays in early 2026, after NBC's NFL commitment ends. The NBA additions — Jeff Bader, NBCUniversal Entertainment's president of program planning strategy, told reporters the NBA is 'our biggest new show in the fall' — will reduce the footprint of the network's entertainment programming next season and were a big reason why NBC canceled five series on May 9. More from The Hollywood Reporter Why 'Suits LA' Was One and Done 'Krapopolis,' 'Grimsburg' and 'Universal Basic Guys' Extended at Fox Roundball Rocked: With NBA Return Looming, NBC Purges Scripted Roster The October start for the league is also leading to something of a two-track schedule for NBC in the fall. Two-hour editions of The Voice and the Jimmy Fallon-led new unscripted series On Brand will air on Tuesday nights in September and early October, with On Brand also airing a second episode on Fridays to start the season. When the NBA starts, the Tuesday Voice will go away and On Brand will run on Friday nights only. November will bring another change: NBC will launch a pair of one-hour comedy blocks on Mondays and Fridays, anchored by second-year shows St. Denis Medical (Monday) and Happy's Place (Friday). They'll be paired with … shows to be determined. The network has picked up The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe and executive produced by Morgan's 30 Rock co-star Tina Fey. It also has a pair of comedy pilots in Stumble, a mockumentary about a junior college cheerleading squad from writers Liz and Jeff Astrof; and an untitled show from Rutherford Falls creator Sierra Teller Ornelas and fellow writers Jackie Kaliiaa and Bobby Wilson about the staff of a Native community center in Oakland, California. NBC will choose two of those three to join St. Denis Medical and Happy's Place in the late fall. The network has also renewed two first-year dramas, Brilliant Minds and The Hunting Party, for full second seasons. Medical drama Brilliant Minds will return to the 10 p.m. Monday spot it held last fall, while The Hunting Party, a crime procedural, will follow Law & Order: SVU on Thursday nights. The Wednesday all-Chicago slate and Thursday's two-hour Law & Order block remain intact. The lone remaining show on NBC's bubble, Grosse Pointe Garden Society, is still awaiting word on its future. After November NBC plans to ride with its schedule for the remainder of the season, save for the NFL/NBA swap on Sundays and something to fill the break between Voice cycles on Monday nights. The network will debut Surviving Earth, its natural history series follow-up to The Americas, sometime next season but hasn't set its spot on the schedule yet. 'We'll always be looking for other opportunities [in development], but the best thing that can happen to us is that all these shows work, and we can actually go back to having some full-season dramas,' Bader said. 'One of the things that you know, we're the reason that you're seeing these sophomore shows. Brilliant Minds only had 13 episodes in its first season. The Hunting Party only had 10 episodes. We need to give these full seasons and really lean into them to really get them established.' The Tuesday NBA games will be regional, with an 8 p.m. ET tipoff for viewers in the eastern half of the country and an 8 p.m. PT game for those out west. Both contests will stream live on Peacock across the country. NBC's fall lineup is below; all times are ET.

Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe Comedy Series, the NBA Lead NBC's 2025-26 Lineup
NBC has greenlit a new comedy series starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe, which leads the network's 2025-26 alongside the NBA. The new series, titled 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,' focuses on a disgraced former football player (Morgan), who is on a mission to rehabilitate his image, according to the official logline. It is executive produced by '30 Rock' creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock. 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' will debut in the 2025-26 alongside returning comedies 'St. Denis Medical' and 'Happy's Place' which took the coveted comedy slots on Monday and Friday upon the cancellations of 'Night Court' and 'Lopez vs Lopez.' 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' will either be slotted after 'St. Denis Medical' on Mondays or after 'Happy's Place' on Fridays, with an additional slot open for NBC comedy pilots — which include 'Stumble' from Jeff and Liz Astrof and an untitled project from Sierra Teller Ornelas — to air in the 2025-26 season if greenlit. Beginning in October, when NBC kicks off its 11-year deal with the NBA, Peacock will livestream national Monday night games before games are broadcast across NBC and Peacock on Tuesday nights, filling the entirety of Tuesday night primetime. In spring 2026, NBC will launch 'Sunday Night Basketball' across NBC and Peacock, alongside playoffs and WNBA Coverage. Before the NBA kicks off in October, NBC's Tuesday nights in September will see 'The Voice' air from 8-10 p.m. before new unscripted show 'On Brand With Jimmy Fallon,' which follows the late night host as he starts a premier marketing agency, airs at 10 p.m. With the NBA's return making fewer primetime spots available for scripted programming, freshman series 'Brilliant Minds' and 'The Hunting Party' made the cut over 'Suits LA,' 'The Irrational,' 'Grosse Pointe Garden Society' and 'Found.' There's still a chance for 'Grosse Pointe Garden Society' to move to Peacock, according to programming planning strategy president Jeff Bader and SVP of program planning and scheduling Steve Kern, who told press that a potential move to the streamer was something considered for every show. While the execs noted the NBA broke up the network's comedy block — which helped launch 'St. Denis Medical' last season — Bader noted the scripted programming line up isn't 'dramatically less' than pre-NBA seasons. 'I actually think we did a good job of carving out scripted time, given that we do not have Tuesdays,' Bader said. 'Brilliant Minds' will air after 'The Voice' on Mondays, while 'The Hunting Party' airs Thursday at 10 p.m. after 'Law & Order' and 'Law & Order: SVU.' The 'Chicago' franchise will continue holding down Wednesday night, with 'Chicago Med' airing at 8 p.m., 'Chicago Fire' at 9 p.m. and 'Chicago P.D.' closing out the night at 10 p.m. 'We're really going to lean into [these sophomore shows],' Bader told press. ''Brilliant Minds' only had 13 episodes, and first season of 'Hunting Party' only had 10 episodes. We need to give these full seasons and really lean into them … really get them established.' For NBC's full 2025-26 lineup, see below. Mondays 8-10 p.m. — 'The Voice' 10-11 p.m. — 'Brilliant Minds' Tuesdays (September) 8-10 p.m. — 'The Voice' 10-11 p.m. — 'On Brand With Jimmy Fallon' (new series) Tuesdays (October) 8-11 p.m. — NBA Wednesdays 8-9 p.m. — 'Chicago Med' 9-10 p.m. — 'Chicago Fire' 10-11 p.m. — 'Chicago P.D.'

Reba McEntire, ‘The Queen Of Country,' Partners With Realtor.com
Singer, actress and "The Voice" coach Reba McEntire has a new gig: spokesperson for Reba McEntire - so what hasn't the legendary singer and songwriter, sitcom lead, dramatic actress, The Voice coach, and Broadway star not done yet? Answer: help you find a home. And today the Happy's Place star is debuting in her new role: assisting Americans in their house search as the face of the "Nearly Home" advertising campaign. 'The way the presents homes to people who are looking for homes I think is a more personal touch. But, also, they added things that I have never seen before," said Reba McEntire. 'When you are looking for a home, you are either pressured into it or it's more of a leisurely type of thing. Either way, has great tools to help you find a great place." Per the logline: 'The campaign highlights the relatable ups and downs of the home buying and selling process, making it feel more accessible and less daunting. Drawing from real homebuyers' experiences, the ads offer digestible solutions to common problems, providing viewers with the tools they need to take the next step in their home search with confidence.' 'We've done quite a few of the ads and they're cute, they're funny, they're different. They're not like an 'I'm going to talk you into this' pitch.' The people in the ads are friendly, and we are trying to treat it like episodes of a sitcom. So, instead of a commercial, it's like here's the episode when Reba comes in and talks about so and so. These are more down to earth, with practical tips.' The first episode of this campaign, called 'The One without the Break-Up,' which premieres today, highlights the very real drama that often comes along with buying a home. So, where does Reba McEntire, the 'Queen of Country,' herself live? 'I have a farmhouse in Nashville and then I have a city house, and my farmhouse is really homey, knickknacks everywhere. When Mama passed, I brought in a lot of things from Oklahoma and out it in the farmhouse. The other house is used more for business and my career and professional life,' said Reba. 'But the farmhouse is the one that is near and dear to my heart. It was built in 1982 but the moldings, the architecture, the quality of the building and how it was made makes me feel very secure and safe. It has three back porches - an open porch, a screened-in porch, and an enclosed porch where you can see the whole hillside in the back. It keeps me so grounded to nature.' As for Happy's Place, will Bobbie (Reba) and Emmitt (Rex Linn) pursue a romantic relationship as alluded to in the first season finale? 'I think there will be some romantic tension, maybe not quite getting to where everybody wants us to get so soon. We want to keep that tension going. But the love interest between Bobbie and Emmitt…it seems so magical,' said Reba. 'We are so blessed to get to ride together to work and ride home together. It's the best job ever.'
