Reba! The Queen of Country!\u201d screamed the fan, who was wearing a white \u201cI love Reba\u201d shirt and a cap.\n\n\n\n</p><p>Distracting the cast, all of whom looked genuinely puzzled, presenter Carson Daly attempted to establish control and hush to the fan, saying \u201cSir\u2026sorry, sir\u2026wait. Is that Howie Mandel?\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>The America\u2019s Got Talent (AGT) judge Howie Mandel explained he was taking a break from filming the season finale to go all fanboy over the \u201cWhoever\u2019s in New England\u201d singer.\n\n\n\n</p><p>\u201cWe\u2019re right next door shooting the\u00a0AGT\u00a0finale.

I feel The Voice has become the Reba Show. I like her, but it\u2019s a little over the top.\u201d\n\n\n\n</p><p>A second writes, \u201cGet rid of Reba I can\u2019t stand her voice.
