Carly Reeves<\/strong> appears to have another claim to fame besides being a relative of Tom Hanks<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u201cY\u2019all I was like, this girl looks SOOO familiar but thought, \u2018There\u2019s no way I\u2019d know Tom Hanks\u2019 niece,\u2019\u201d Ariana Madix<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s friend Logan Cochran<\/strong><\/a> tweeted<\/a> on Thursday, June 29, after watching the season 2 premiere of\u00a0Claim to Fame<\/i>. \u201cUntil I remembered she used to be a manager @ SUR !!\u201d<\/p>\n Lisa Vanderpump<\/strong><\/a> opened SUR, which stands for Sexy Unique Restaurant<\/a>, in May 2005. Amid her stint on\u00a0The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills<\/i><\/a>, the 62-year-old reality TV star landed her own\u00a0Vanderpump Rules<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>spinoff to chronicle her life in the restaurant business. Ariana, 38, joined the Bravo cast in season 2 after she was previously hired as a bartender<\/a> alongside her now-ex Tom Sandoval<\/strong><\/a> and Jax Taylor<\/strong><\/a>. Fellow costars and show alums Scheana Shay<\/strong><\/a>, Katie Maloney<\/strong><\/a>, Stassi Schroeder<\/strong><\/a>, Raquel Leviss<\/strong><\/a> and Kristen Doute<\/strong> <\/a>have also worked at Vanderpump\u2019s SUR through the years<\/a> as servers.<\/p>\n Carly, for her part, has not confirmed claims she worked as a manager of the eatery<\/a>, but she is making waves for her appearance on ABC\u2019s celebrity guessing game\u00a0Claim to Fame<\/i><\/a>, which premiered earlier this month.<\/p>\n On the reality TV competition \u2014 which is hosted by Kevin Jonas<\/strong> <\/a>and his youngest brother, Franklin Jonas<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 a group of 12 players attempt to solve clues and riddles that identify their fellow contestants based on their relations to various celebrities<\/a>. (Family members of the likes of Simone Biles<\/strong><\/a>, Jason Aldean<\/strong><\/a> and Keke Palmer<\/strong><\/a> previously appeared on season 1 of\u00a0Claim to Fame<\/i>.)<\/p>\n While Carly, 39, had hoped she had concealed her identity well enough, Hugo<\/strong> correctly guessed that Tom, 66, was her uncle<\/a> at the end of the first episode \u2014 and she had a meltdown.<\/p>\n \u201cThese freaking clues were so freaking obvious!\u201d she shouted while packing her bags. \u201c[A] frickin\u2019 bench that\u2019s in the frickin\u2019 poster of frickin\u2019\u00a0Forrest Gump<\/i><\/a>? Are you kidding me? Why a bench? There\u2019s literally no benches on any other movie<\/a>, even Gabriel<\/strong> found that out and he\u2019s not even, like, smart!\u201d<\/p>\n Carly added: \u201cI didn\u2019t even get to do any challenges! I don\u2019t deserve this. I should have more camera time<\/a>. I should be aired longer!\u201d<\/p>\n The ABC alum later told\u00a0Entertainment Weekly<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>that she \u201coverreacted\u201d to her elimination. \u201cI was really upset \u2026 but I\u2019m an emotional, very dramatic person,\u201d she told the outlet. \u201cI was really angry that I didn\u2019t get a chance to play as long as some of other contestants. I mean, there was no one to be angry at. I was just angry in general at myself, and at the fact that I was going home. And then that turned to complete despair and sadness. I even say, like, \u2018I should get more camera time!\u2019 That\u2019s just so silly of me to say. But I also was just saying things out of my mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n Carly also explained to\u00a0EW\u00a0<\/i>that the\u00a0Big\u00a0<\/i>star was \u201cexcited\u201d for her to appear on\u00a0Claim to Fame\u00a0<\/i>and hoped she did well. \u201cI hope I don\u2019t embarrass him, but I don\u2019t think I do. So, I would love for him to watch it, because I think it\u2019s hilarious,\u201d she added. \u201cHe\u2019s happy for me no matter what. He did ask me, \u2018Did you make some money?\u2019 And I was like, \u2018Yeah, I made a little bit.\u2019 And he said, \u2018OK, good.\u2019 So, he was happy that I made a little money<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Ariana](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Ariana-Madixs-Friend-Logan-Cochran-Claims-Tom-Hanks-Niece-Carly-Reeves-Once-Worked-at-SUR-Inline.jpg?w=700&quality=86&strip=all\")
