KFRG: Kyra Hart on Reba, Friday nights on the WB. You’ve been at this – this is your second season now. Scarlett: Yup, it’s going really good. KFRG: That is what has been so cool about this show. I remember how all the TV critics were turning their noses up when they heard Reba McEntire had a sitcom and said, “Oh, this’ll be off in six weeks.” But you guys are doing great! Scarlett: Yeah, it’s getting better each time, you know, we’re getting more viewers each week. KFRG: That is so cool. Scarlett: And the scripts are getting even better, and the actors are getting better too. KFRG: Is there going to be a third season? Do you know yet? Scarlett: We don’t know yet, but we’re pretty sure there is. You know, our ratings are going and everybody I talk to says they love the show and they love the direction it’s going. KFRG: Very interesting. Scarlett Pomers is here on the K-FROG celebrity phone. Tell you what, we’re going to take a quick check of the traffic. (The station took a
break from the interview to do traffic, weather, and commercials.) KFRG: We’ve got
Scarlett Pomers, who is on a TV show that some of you may have tuned into on
Friday nights, Reba. She plays Kyra on
the TV show. Fourteen years old! You’re fourteen, and you’ve got a better
resume than half the people in Scarlett: It’s actually pretty cool to say that I have a job at fourteen. KFRG: Well, you see Scarlett every Friday night playing Kyra, one of Reba’s kids, and a lot of people saw you in the movie Erin Brockovich. Who were you in Erin Brockovich? Scarlett: I played one of Marg Helgenberger’s children. KFRG: Yeah, one of the children from the desert who got sick. Scarlett: Yeah. Actually, it was pretty cool because during one of the scenes with a lot of extras, two of the people were me, who I was playing, and her sister, who another girl was playing. So it was cool because I got to meet the girl that I was playing. KFRG: Now, you’re
calling us from Scarlett: Yes, I sure am. KFRG: Is it a country album or R&B, or what are you doing? Scarlett: It’s pretty rock. It’s really edgy, it’s really fun. KFRG: Well, does it
help to know Reba to be able to get some studio time in Scarlett: Well, yeah, I was actually thinking how I wish she was here. We could go site-seeing. KFRG: Is it a little bit intimidating to be working with someone like that? Because she’s almost the model for what you want to do. She’s had a great singing career, and now she has a great acting career too. Scarlett: No, she’s not intimidating at all. She’s very, very sweet. It’s really cool. You can learn a lot from being around her. She just has this way that she carries herself and she’s just sweet to everyone and treats everyone equally. It’s just great to see that. KFRG: Scarlett, we don’t have much time, but can you give us just a brief capsule of what’s going to happen with Kyra this season? Scarlett: Well, she’s definitely getting farther from Reba, and she’s getting closer with Barbara Jean actually. It’s kind of a weird twist, you know, they’re very opposite people. But something they find in each other helps develop a really great friendship. You know, Kyra’s starting to come to Barbara Jean after she has fights with her mom or her sister. KFRG: Now, you’re
going to make sure nothing happens to Kyra like happened to Scarlett: Uh, no. I don’t think that’ll be happening. KFRG: Scarlett, you are just great on the show. I can’t wait to hear your music. Scarlett: Thank you! KFRG: We appreciate
your call, sweetie. |
