Reba McEntire will return to the small screen Thursday night (Feb. 13) with her much-anticipated guest appearance on the popular CBS sitcom, Young Sheldon.
In the episode, McEntire plays the role of June, the ex-wife of Craig T. Nelson’s character Dale Ballard. The “fun and fiery” June becomes friends with Meemaw (played by Annie Potts), who is in a relationship with the local little league coach. Things get a little hairy when June lets Meemaw in on what kind of guy Dale really is.
Prior to the debut of the Valentine’s Day-themed episode, McEntire and the show’s stars are taking fans behind the scenes of the hit show in a just-released video clip. Check it out below.
