Returning to the half-hour sitcom format, REBA stars in the upcoming MALIBU COUNTRY for ABC. Centered on a former country singer who moves west from Tennessee after she catches her husband in an affair, the show also stars LILY TOMLIN as the crusty but wise mother who provides REBA with a voice of reason (if sometimes dispensed through the haze of medicinal marijuana).

Sitting down with TOMLIN late last week at the Television Critics Association press event, the iconic comic talked about her ‘Country’ co-star and getting involved in the project. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
