Reggie Dinkins (Morgan) is a washed-up former pro football player who’s on a mission to rehabilitate his public image. In an attempt to fast-track his comeback, Reggie hires filmmaker Arthur Tobin (Radcliffe) to direct a documentary about his life. The catch? Arthur isn’t just working with Reggie; he’s living in his mansion.
Reggie must also mend his relationships with his ex-wife, Monica (Erika Alexander), his son Carmelo (Jalyn Hall), and his former teammate Gator (Bobby Moynihan), all while focusing on his engagement to fiancée Brina (Precious Way).
The sitcom will be filmed in a single-camera format similar to other NBC comedies like “30 Rock,” “Scrubs,” and “Community.”
The ensemble cast for the upcoming comedy features:
- Tracy Morgan as Reggie Dinkins
- Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Tobin
- Erika Alexander as Monica
- Bobby Moynihan as Gator
- Precious Way as Brina
- Jalyn Hall as Carmelo
“30 Rock” writers Robert Carlock and Sam Means are reuniting as writers for the new comedy. The duo have previously worked together on “SNL,” “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” “Girls5eva,” “Mr. Mayor,” and “Mulligan.” Rhys Thomas (“Dodger”) is an executive producer and director for the pilot.
