    Fans are threatening to boycott Wheel of Fortune. Many are not happy with how the past few weeks have been going. They had really had enough after Tuesday night’s episode. What has fans in an outrage and threatening to walk away from their beloved game show? Keep reading to get all the latest details.

    Wheel Of Fortune Fans Threaten To Boycott

    Wheel of Fortune fans are not pleased with how the last few weeks have been going. After Sam failed to win the bonus round last night, this made 12 days straight that everyone has lost. Fans are quite frustrated with the losing streak.

    Three friends named  Sam, Daniel, and Peter competed on the latest episode of WOF. They were trying their best to walk away with the $1 million to split between them.

    Peter won the first round and had $18k. He then later won another puzzle and added another $14k to his winnings. He won by guessing “Macadamia Nut Cookies.” Sam also won a round and earned $24k after correctly solving “surround sound system.”

    Sam is the lucky fan who made it to the bonus round. He was given letters R, S, T, L, N, and E. There was one T. He then got to choose his own letters. He chose C, G, M, and O. There were two Os and one C.

    He didn’t solve the phrase before the buzzer sounded. Ryan Seacrest told him that he didn’t even roll the $1Million card. Instead, his card would have only been worth $40k if he had won.

    Fans were not happy and shared their thoughts about it on YouTube after Wheel of Fortune posted a video featuring Sam’s loss.

    Fans Reacted To The Loss

    Wheel of Fortune fans are not happy with yet another loss. Sam’s loss made it twelve in a row. Many are starting to think the losing streak will never end, and nobody will ever actually win the $1 million.

    Here is what some of the fans are saying on social media after the loss last night:

    “Not acceptable.”
    “If we go a full two weeks with no bonus round winners, I’ll stop watching WOF until someone does win the bonus round. Like, eight in a row? This is simply outrageous!”
    “Another near-impossible puzzle. Who says that, ‘hmm … I’m buzzing around.’ You might get punched in the face for saying something so dumb.”
    “WHEN WILL WE END THE BONUS ROUND LOSS STREAK????!!!!!!!!!! HOW WILL WE???!!!!!!!!!!! 12 LOSSES IN A ROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😰”
    “If we go another week… I’m going to absolutely lose it! 😤 12 now? Come on, producers! Do better!”
    “2 1/2 weeks without a winner is absolutely ridiculous. I’m done watching this show.”

    Did you happen to catch Tuesday night’s episode of Wheel of Fortune? What did you think about it? Are you also tired of seeing the losing streak continue? Should producers stop making the puzzles so tough?

    Fans will have to tune in on Wednesday night to see if anyone is able to finally break the streak.

    Stay tuned for more updates.

    Vanna White Breaks Silence On Ryan Seacrest Conflict Rumors

    Recently, there has been talk about Wheel Of Fortune‘s new host, Ryan Seacrest, and veteran assistant, Vanna White, struggling during filming. While it is expected that anyone following in Pat Sajak’s footsteps will experience growing pains, this seems to be more. However, Vanna breaks her silence on the conflict rumors.

    Growing Pains

    Undeniably, Wheel Of Fortune is going through a huge transition. Reportedly, while Vanna White is expecting things to be a little rocky, there have been moments she questions if she should have retired with Pat Sajak. Since Pat’s leaving, it seems like there has been some division between the new host, Ryan Seacrest, and the longtime letter-turning queen, Vanna. Without a doubt, the growing pains of training a new host, after the tried and true work of having the same host for more than forty years, has to be grueling. However, Vanna sends a message as the rumors swirl about their behind-the-scenes beef.

    Vanna White Breaks Silence On Ryan Seacrest Conflict Rumors

    On July 9, Vanna White posted a photo of her and Ryan Seacrest breaking bread together. She captions: “Friends on and off camera. Enjoying one of our favorites, Chicken and Dumplings!” In the photo, they both lean toward each other and smile for the camera while holding spoonfuls of chicken and dumplings. Amid all the rumors of work conflict, the two seem to be finding common ground by sharing a meal. Seemingly, this is Vanna’s way of showing there is peace between them as she clarifies their “on and off camera” friendship. Both Vanna and Ryan are filming their first season together for the fall. Furthermore, time will tell how the new duo works together on the Wheel Of Fortune stage.

    Fans Aren’t Sure About Vanna White’s Statements

    However, after Vanna White posted the photo, not everyone was convinced by her statement. Several Wheel Of Fortune fans left comments.

    “There’s no f-in way Vanna can stand Ryan. He’s a massive phony.”
    “I don’t think i can believe anything I read in the news anymore!!! Last week I read that they can’t stand each other, and she is thinking about retiring because she doesn’t like how Ryan does the show. They look happy here.”
    “Very disappointed that Wheel of Fortune chose Ryan Sescrest as Pat’s replacement. There is plenty talent to choose from. Even an unknown would have been better.”
    But one fan thinks Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest need to go. “I will not be watching wheel of Fortune ever again – I absolutely cannot stand fakey Ryan Seacrest, and it’s absolutely time for Vanna to retire.”
    “I have a gut feeling that he will be unkind to Vanna and push her out. He’s sketchy.”

    ‘Jeopardy!’ host Ken Jennings ripped for ‘extremely problematic’ sexist clue, apologizes to female player

    The questionable ‘Jeopardy!’ phrase was from famous female poet Dorothy Parker

    Jeopardy! contestant Erin Buker says competing on game show was overwhelming

    NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

    “Jeopardy!” fans are heavily criticizing host Ken Jennings for a “sexist” clue.

    During Monday night’s episode, the “Jeopardy!” category “Complete the Rhyming Phrase” quickly turned the game into an awkward situation.

    When Jennings read the clue, “Men seldom make passes at…”,  returning champion Will Wallace correctly answered, “Girls who wear glasses.”

    ken jennings

    Jennings recognized the prompt may have made female contestant Heather Ryan uncomfortable since she wore glasses on the show.

    “A little problematic, sorry, Heather,” Jennings remarked.

    “Jeopardy!” champion Wallace chimed in and added, “Very,” as he defended the female contestant.

    jeopardy clue

    The questionable phrase was from acclaimed poet Dorothy Parker.

    Game show fans were quick to react to the tense situation on social media.

    “‘Yeah, a little problematic’ – Ken… Um, then why didn’t you bring that up to the writers before the game?” one comment read on X.

    Another viewer wrote, “More like extremely problematic!”

    jeopardy contestant heather

    “Frankly, I don’t need to hear Ken read an obviously outdated and inappropriate clue and then call it ‘problematic,’” a fan wrote on Reddit. “Maybe he can use his position to get it switched out before it goes out over the air.”

    While another “Jeopardy!” viewer added on X, “Still angry about this. She’s used her intelligence to get on here, only to be insulted by a sexist and rude comment.”

    jeopardy contestants

    “Jeopardy!” fans recently blamed Jennings for robbing a contestant after a “messy” answer.

    Earlier this month, during a “Final Jeopardy!” round, players were faced with the category “College Towns.”

    Jennings read the prompt, “Two schools in the Southeastern Conference are located in cities with this same name but in different states.”

    jeopardy ruling

    A contestant named Rishabh, an Illinois native who is currently a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania, played against environmental attorney Jay Eversman and associate professor Rachel Cassidy.

    Two contestants, Rishabh and Rachel, both answered correctly with “What is Columbia?”.

    However, game show fans were quick to call out Jennings’ ruling and argued that the winner’s answer was “totally illegible.”

    Rishabh’s written answer to “Columbia,” appeared to some to be simply a jumble of letters. The original answer he jotted down was also scribbled out.

    Meanwhile, Rachel’s answer to “Columbia” was easier to read on screen.

    But since Rishabh wagered $9,801, he took home $20,201 for his two-day win.

    The Beloved Drew Carey of ‘The Price Is Right’ is Back with a Brand New Show That Fans Are Already Obsessed Wit.

    Drew Carey is always ready to give contestants on The Price Is Right some friendly advice about the games.

    However, during a recent episode, he also offered a friendly suggestion to a contestant about his future career.

    Drew, 66, is a former comedian and actor who has since moved comfortably to his role as game show host.

    According to a recent highlight clip from The Price Is Right, viewers may have seen a “future star” on the show.

    Drew met a contestant, Malcolm, who was born in Baltimore, Maryland, and said, “New York raised [him].”

    Malcolm told Drew he was visiting the area and had “a quick table read” for an unspecified potential acting role, which piqued Drew’s curiosity.

    Drew told TPIR contestant: ‘Act like you love money’

    “Oh, what’s up, future star?” Drew joked to Malcolm, who replied he was “just working.”

    “Well, act like you love money because we’ve got a pretty nice prize here,” Drew joked as Malcolm laughed at the host’s witty remark.

    Announcer George Gray revealed Malcolm would play for a chance to win $10,000 in cash while on The Price Is Right.

    He played the Half Off game, which involved correctly choosing which of two items’ prices on their tags was “half-off” the actual price.

    For each pair he guessed correctly, half of the 16 boxes on stage would be removed, giving Malcolm an easier chance to pick the one containing the $10,000.

    Malcolm correctly chose all three half-off prices, which included a fan, a massager, and a vacuum sealer.

    Since he had all three correct, he would automatically receive $1,000. However, he was down to two boxes and had to pick one for the potential $10,000 prize. One of the two boxes was empty.

    “Can you give me a hint?” Malcolm asked the host, trying to get some help.

    “I wish I could, but I have no idea,” he told him.

    Malcolm chose the No. 2 box, which model Devin Goda carried over to him.

    Drew gave him a three-count, and Malcolm lifted the lid and saw wads of cash inside, giving him the $10,000 win.

    Devin approached to high-five him on the win as fellow model Alexis Gaube walked over. She and Malcolm threw some money into the air to make it rain in a celebratory fashion.

    Drew Carey could be among a big movie sequel’s guest stars

    Drew Carey rose to fame as a standup comedian and then on television. He starred as a fictionalized version of himself in the sitcom The Drew Carey Show.

    Other TV roles included Drew appearing in one-episode appearances for NCIS, Community, and American Housewife. In 1994, he appeared as Drew Clark in 13 episodes of The Good Life.

    He’s appeared as himself in most roles and starred on the improv sketch show Whose Line Is It Anyway? Drew could return to the screen in a special cameo role.

    Earlier this year, Monsters and Critics reported that fellow actor and comedian Adam Sandler spoke about getting Drew to appear in Happy Gilmore 2.

    “That would be great. I would love Drew Carey to be in this movie out of respect to Bob,” Sandler told Dan Patrick during an interview segment.

    In the original Happy Gilmore, the late great Bob Barker appeared in a funny cameo role as himself and got into a fight with Sandler’s character, Happy.

    “The price is wrong, b***h,” Happy told Barker after seemingly knocking him out.

    However, Barker got back on his feet and fought Happy more, knocking him down with a punch.

    “I think you’ve had enough,” Barker told him but noticed he was still conscious and knocked him out with a kick.

    “Now you’ve had enough, b***h,” Barker said before walking off.

    As of this writing, Happy Gilmore 2 doesn’t have an official premiere date, aside from March 2025 on Netflix.

    It’s unclear if Carey will appear in the anticipated sequel, although several guest stars will, including NFL star Travis Kelce, who Sandler seemingly confirmed would get a cameo role.

    The Price Is Right host Drew Carey reminded his co-star on stage of a previous job, and fans called out what they deemed a savage comment.

    The 66-year-old game show host often jokes with people on stage, such as recently joking about marrying a contestant.

    While on stage, Drew often works alongside various models, including Amber Lancaster, Rachel Reynolds, Alexis Gaube, Devin Goda, and Manuela Arbelaez.

    They help present the various games, reveal prices, and celebrate exciting wins with contestants.

    A recent episode featured Let It Roll and a woman attempting to win a brand-new car with some luck.

    Many fans reacted to Drew’s comment during the highlight moment from The Price Is Right.

    Drew mentioned TPIR model’s previous work during the game show

    On The Price Is Right’s Let It Roll, a contestant, Michele, had five die to roll down a giant slide.

    The game’s main objective is for a contestant to roll all five die and reveal a car symbol on them to win the car. Alternatively, the die could reveal cash amounts.

    After her first roll, she had three car symbols. The other two die revealed $1,000 each.

    With that, Drew informed her she could walk away with $2,000 or try to roll the two die again and get car symbols.

    “I’ll roll again,” she said as the crowd cheered to encourage her.

    “She’s gonna roll again. Thank you, Manuela,” Drew said as she collected the two die to give to Michele for another roll.

    “Manuela used to work in a casino in Colombia,” Drew said, chuckling before adding, “When she was young.”

    “She can’t talk about it,” the host joked as Michele rolled again.

    The die went down the shoot, and both came up with car symbols, making Michele a winner.

    “Yes! You got a car! Go get it!” Drew shouted.

    He high-fived Manuela near the game to celebrate the contestant’s big win.

    Fans called out Drew for roasting TPIR model on TV: ‘Show some respect’!

    While many viewers celebrated the contestant winning a new car, others mentioned Drew roasting The Price Is Right model.

    “He has beef with Manuela,” a commenter suggested in the Instagram comments.

    A commenter replied, “For real! ‘When she was young’” with a skull emoji.

    Another commenter replied, “People need to stop making fun of Manuela Arbelaez when she’s on TPIR. “

    “This man just roasting Manuela for no reason,” another individual commented.

    “Why the f*** would you say that about Manuela,” someone replied.

    Another commenter replied, “Manuela is a SAINT! He needs to show some damn respect!”

    Manuela, 36, was born in Colombia and became a naturalized American. Manuela also competed in The Price Is Right Model search in 2008. While she wasn’t the winner, production liked her enough to make her a permanent model for the game show in 2009.

    That’s two years after Drew officially took over for the late, great Bob Barker. It’s unclear if there truly is any “beef” between Drew and Manuela on the show, as they’ve been working together for 15 years.

    ‘The Price is Right’: Drew Carey Baffles Fans With Odd Joke to Model Before Big Win (VIDEO)

    CBS

    The Price is Right host Drew Carey made an interesting wisecrack at the expense of the beloved model Manuela Alvarez during a recent segment. And fans were at a loss, even if it was all in good fun.

    In a clip shared by the game show’s Instagram on Wednesday (November 6), a player named Michelle played the Let ‘Em Roll game. The game involves dropping five giant dice from atop a slide. If all five land on the side with a car picture, the player wins the new whip.

    Michelle dropped the dice, landing on three cars and two $1,000 sides. Carey explained that she could roll the two $1000 dice again and “try to get two more cars” or walk away with the $2,000. Michelle decided to risk it for the car prize and roll again.

    Alvarez, who was glistening in a gold gown, brought the contestant the dice for her second roll. After thanking her, Carey joked, “Manuela used to work in a casino in Colombia.” He specified, “Back when she was young.” Alvarez, who is Colombian, shook off the comment and smiled with a shrug as Carey added, “She can’t talk about it.”

    Michelle went on to drop her two remaining dice, which both landed on the car side, so she won the flashy new car. As she rushed over to her prize in joy, Carey gave Alvarez a high-five handshake to ensure there were no hard feelings.

    In the comments section of the clip, fans celebrated the big win and expressed their surprise at Carey’s joke, wondering what Alvarez did to deserve the shade.

    “This man just roasting Manuela for no reason,” the top comment read with 300 likes.

    “Why the fu** would you say that about Manuela,” wrote another.

    “Manuela is a SAINT! He needs to show some damn respect!” wrote a third.

    “He has beef with Manuela,” joked a fourth.

    “For real! ‘When she was young,’” replied a fifth.

    Alvarez, however, also chimed into the comments section. Playing into the joke and making clear she wasn’t offended, she wrote, “Shhh” with a laughing emoji.

    Meanwhile, if Carey can get overly casual with any TPIR model, it’s Alvarez. She joined the game show in 2009, two years after he took over for Bob Barker in 2007. She’s become a favorite among fans, and she boasts a winning resume.

    Her bio from the game show’s website is as follows: “Born in Medellín, Colombia, she moved to the United States in 2006. She was a finalist in The Price Is Right Model Search of 2008, which is when she gained the attention of the show’s producers. Eventually, she was added into the rotation of regular models.

    In addition to her role on The Price Is Right, Manuela has appeared on television’s The Bold and the Beautiful and in the motion picture Jack and Jill. She is featured in Diddy/Dirty Money’s music video for “Loving You No More,” and can also be seen in Robin Thicke’s music video “It’s in the Mornin’.” She was a Trophy Model at the 54th Grammy Awards and was named the number one Hottest Game Show Eye Candy by Complex Magazine.”

  • Why ‘Last Man Standing’ Was Canceled, Tim Allen finally responds

    Why ‘Last Man Standing’ Was Canceled, Tim Allen finally responds

    The Many Reasons Behind ABC’s ‘Last Man Standing’ Cancellation

    Star Tim Allen breaks his silence on the surprising cancellation as ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey and THR explain the why of it all.

    Why 'Last Man Standing' Was Canceled | Tim Allen responds

    Courtesy of ABC

    ABC decision to cancel Tim Allen vehicle Last Man Standing was one of the biggest shockers of the upfront season.

    The multicamera comedy produced by 20th Century Fox Television was in its sixth season and had carved out a solid viewership on little-watched Friday nights. For the uninitiated, Fridays are typically earmarked for programming with reduced viewership expectations, where a comedy like Last Man Standing and its 1.7 rating among adults 18-49 and 8.3 million viewers is seen as impressive.

    “A large part of these jobs are managing failure, and we have made the tough calls and canceled shows that we would otherwise love to stay on the air. That’s the job. I canceled Last Man Standing for the same business and scheduling reasons that I canceled Dr. KenThe Real O’NealsThe Catch and American Crime,” ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey told reporters Tuesday ahead of her upfront presentation to advertisers. “Last Man Standing was a challenging one for me because it was a steady performer in the ratings, but once we made the decision not to continue with comedies on Fridays, that was where we landed.”

     

    Dungey stressed that star Allen’s conservative leaning (he’s pro-Trump) did not factor into her decision to cancel the series and noted that the Disney-owned network axed programming from multiple studios: Sony Pictures Television (Dr. Ken, Imaginary Mary), Warner Bros. Television (Time After Time) and even its own ABC Studios (The Catch, American Crime).

     

     

    “There are many factors that go into the decision-making process: ratings, critical acclaim … of course we look at ownership structure,” Dungey said of the rising importance of ownership at all of the Big Four broadcast networks. Ultimately, Dungey stressed that Allen’s political affiliation — he has compared being a conservative in Hollywood to “‘30s Germany” — did not play a role in the decision to ax the comedy. “I wouldn’t say that was the deciding factor,” she said.

    From a financial point of view, ABC did not own Last Man Standing and had been reducing licensing fees on many of its aging shows — including Sony’s The Goldbergs, ABC Studios’ Once Upon a Time and 20th TV’s Modern Family — in a bid to reduce costs amid dwindling viewership and ad dollars.

    It’s also worth noting that of ABC’s new 2017-18 slate, the network did renew 20th TV bubble comedy Fresh Off the Boat — which has greater critical appeal vs. Last Man — when the bulk of its schedule is produced in-house by ABC Studios. (ABC, unlike NBC and Fox, did buy new programming from outside studios this season.)

    Additionally, that Last Man was wrapping its sixth season meant Allen would need to renegotiate his contract — adding an additional costs to the aging series as ABC also was set to shoulder a larger share of the overall price tag on the comedy.

    Another factor, as Dungey noted, was ABC’s move away from comedy on Fridays. Next season, ABC will open the night with former Sunday staple Once Upon a Time, followed by Marvel drama Inhumans (and subsequently Agents of SHIELD). Both Once and SHIELD have a 22-episode seasons and will be followed at 10 p.m. by Shark Tank. ABC will open the fall without a multicamera comedy for the first time in years after axing Last Man and Dr. Ken.

    ‘Last Man Standing’ resurfaces at Fox, a year after ABC canceled it

    Fox has picked up ABC castoff Last Man Standing, the family comedy starring Tim Allen that was canceled last spring after six seasons.

    5 reasons ABC might have canceled the Tim Allen comedy Last Man Standing |  Vox

    The series, which stars Allen as Mike Baxter, a married father of three girls trying to “maintain his manliness,” was the subject of protests when ABC pulled the plug, as fans claimed the network was punishing Allen for his conservative political stance.

    No, ABC says, Tim Allen's 'Last Man Standing' was not canceled because of  actor's politics

    ABC denied it, and instead blamed higher costs. The Disney-owned network has since revived Roseanne, whose star Roseanne Barr is an avowed Trump supporter, to ratings success.

    Last Man was never beloved by critics, but the comedy was a solid performer, averaging 8.3 million viewers with delayed viewing counted in its final season and ranking as ABC’s No. 2 comedy behind Modern Family.

    “Team LMS was in the sixth inning, ahead by four runs, stands were packed and then for no reason, they call off the game,” said Allen in a statement, alluding to ABC’s cancellation. “It leaves you sitting in the dugout, holding a bat and puzzled. Now we get the news from Fox that it’s time to get back out on that diamond – hell yes, I’m excited!  When I heard the offer to create more episodes of Last Man Standing, I did a fist pump so hard I threw my back out. I could not be more grateful for the fans who wrote petitions and kept up the passion and incredible support for the show.”

    Why Last Man Standing Was Canceled - Tim Allen Says the Show Was Canceled  Because He's Conservative

    Fox says original cast members Nancy Travis, Jonathan Adams, Amanda Fuller, Christoph Sanders and Jordan Masterson will also return. It did not say whether the show will return in the fall or later next season, nor did it say how many episodes would be produced, although a full season of 22 installments is expected.

    Fox’s sibling 20th Century Fox Television studio owns the Allen comedy, a big factor in the decision to revive the series, which has aired 130 episodes. (Ironically, the studio is due to be acquired by Disney). To make room, Fox canceledBrooklyn Nine-Nine, angering fans of that NBC-owned series, along with The Last Man on Earth and The Mick.

    [Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Happy’s Place Season 1 Episode 16, “Whiskey Business.”]

    Happy’s Place gives bartender Gabby (Melissa Peterman) the chance to explore a hero moment as she saves Bobbie (Reba McEntire) and Isabella (Belissa Escobedo) from a regretful decision at the auction house.

    In the episode, “Whiskey Business,” Bobbie and Isabella uncover a hidden bottle of whiskey in the bar, and uncertain of its significance, they have the bottle appraised and discover it could make for a big payday that could fund a patio area for patrons. When Bobbie and Isabella entertain the idea of selling it at auction, Gabby offers some interesting personal backstory around her family’s auctions with cows.

    “My character Gabby is not from Knoxville, Tennessee,” Peterman tells TV Insider. “I don’t think we’ve said it out loud, but we’ve established, at least with [showrunner] Kevin [Abbott] and I, that she’s from Wisconsin originally. So cattle auctions could happen there and she got to know what to do in cattle auctions,” Peterman adds regarding Gabby’s onscreen lore.

    The bottom line is, “She knows how to auction,” Peterman says. And thank goodness for that because as Bobbie and Isabella finagle their way into getting the bottle added to an auction last-minute, regret strikes when they realize the bottle is from Isabella’s birthdate and seemingly intended for sharing between her and the dad she never met.

    When Gabby rolls into the auction just as Bobbie and Isabella have been outbid trying to hold onto it, she asks whether they signed an auction agreement, because if not, a sale can’t be binding. Ultimately, she gets their bottle back without any monetary penalties, allowing the sisters to share the whiskey with the rest of the Happy’s Place family. Surrounding her hero moment, Peterman says, “I loved it, I love those moments.”

    “We can get away with any sort of broad comedy if there’s heart,” Peterman notes, acknowledging Abbott’s ability to balance the two. “You earn the crazy with those human moments,” she adds, revealing, “[Abbott] wanted this moment there cause he did a lot of Al Pacino impressions throughout the week.”

    Stay tuned for more heartwarming moments to come as Happy’s Place continues on NBC.

    The singer and actress got personal about the emotional connection she has with the NBC series.

    With Happy’s Place coming back for season 2 this fall on NBC, it’s clear people adore Reba McEntire‘s latest venture into the world of sitcom TV. While viewers love to follow the story of a woman and her half-sister running their late father’s Tennessee tavern, it turns out there are some hidden secrets folks likely wouldn’t expect come the next installment.Reba, who is partnering with Realtor.com on their “Nearly Home” campaign, spoke to Good Housekeeping about the exciting things to come when the series returns. When asked about if there were any personal touches viewers may have not picked up while watching Happy’s Place, the singer and actress (who’s also an executive producer for the show) made a surprise revelation. She revealed that the tavern actually has secret nods to all the guest stars and extras appearing on camera throughout the episodes — and they show up in a format folks will definitely need to keep an eye out for.

    “The thing I love so much about the Happy’s Place set — especially the tavern — is the memorabilia everywhere,” she explained. “The extras and our stand-ins on our team are so good, that we’ll do polaroids of anybody that’s been on set. We then put them up in little strategic places in the tavern so that they can see themselves there … Any kind of final little small touches like that makes everybody feel welcome and a part of the show.”

    Wait — now we need to pay closer attention and look for this surprise set detail on Happy’s Place! And that’s not all Reba shared about how special the show’s set design is for her.

    The former Reba star also noted something special that production designer Glenda Rovello does with her team for the set of Happy’s Place. Reba stated how she gave Glenda personal photos from her own life to display in her character Bonnie’s late dad’s home. But Reba also realized there were other eclectic pieces around the set that immediately took her back to her own childhood, too.

    “In Happy’s house, there was a little box and it had shells all around it,” Reba added. “I looked at it, took a picture of it and sent it to my sisters. I said, ‘Didn’t Mama have a box just like this?’ And [my sister] Alice [Foran] asked, ‘Where’d you get that?’ I said, ‘It’s on the set of Happy’s Place!’ She said there was one in Mama’s house, right there by her sewing machine.”
