Reba McEntire and the Happy’s Place crew are back with another side-splitting episode tonight on NBC, but viewers can expect a minor scheduling shift.
Whether it’s the hysterical lineup of guest stars or the endless shenanigans unfolding at the Knoxville tavern, Season 2 of Happy’s Place has been jam-packed with laughs. Tonight’s episode is set to be a must-watch as comedy queen Jane Lynch returns as the hysterical mother of Gabby (Melissa Peterman). The family reunion has been a crucible for juicy drama and many hysterical punchlines, so Lynch’s quick return to the sitcom is sure to deliver even more heart and humor.
“Jane Lynch was just iconic,” Happy’s Place star Pablo Castelblanco gushed. “She came in and blew it out of the park. [She’s] also a fantastic person — such a giving actor, so funny. I’m so happy she’s also in our family.”

“Luckily, we’ve had her on several times this season,” Happy’s Place executive producer and co-creator Kevin Abbott told NBC Insider. “The role, she just… Oh, my God, she’s so good.”

“We’ve seen her do so much in so many wonderful shows, but she does something so specific as this character that is so hilarious and grounded and ridiculous,” Fryman said. “Melissa is such a huge fan — we all are, obviously — and every bit of it is hilarious. Every minute of it is great. She’s something.”
