In the ever-evolving world of sports comedies, a new contender is emerging that promises to bring both laughter and heart: The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins. This show joins a growing list of popular series like Ted Lasso, Mr. Throwback, and Running Point, which have successfully transitioned from niche projects into mainstream favorites. But what sets this particular series apart is its unique lead—Tracy Morgan. Known for his comedic genius, Morgan takes on the role of Reggie Dinkins, a former NFL star who decides to make a comeback, using the modern phenomenon of celebrity documentaries as his platform.
Imagine this: a man whose childhood basketball hoop was literally a rib cage! That’s just a glimpse into Morgan's quirky charm in this role. Alongside an impressive cast including Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, and the recently re-emerged Craig Robinson, Reggie embarks on a journey to restore his public image while hoping to impress Moynihan's character—who has aspirations of meeting none other than Pedro Pascal.
The show boasts a stellar production team, with Tina Fey as the executive producer and a script co-developed by Robert Carlock, known for his work on 30 Rock, and Sam Means, who has collaborated with Carlock and Fey on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Girls5eva. With such a pedigree behind it, expectations are high—will The Fall And Rise Of Reggie Dinkins hit all the right notes and live up to its promising start?
For fans eager for a preview, mark your calendars! The series will debut immediately following the L.A. Rams versus Chicago Bears game on Sunday, January 18, at 10 p.m. Don't miss the official premiere set for February 23 at 8 p.m. on NBC, with episodes accessible the following day on Peacock.
