Tracy Morgan Delivers a Warm Comeback in NBC's Reggie Dinkins

Tracy Morgan anchors NBC’s mockumentary Reggie Dinkins, a comeback story in which a former NFL star hires a documentarian (Daniel Radcliffe) to tell his bid for Hall of Fame glory. The premiere pairs sharp, meta humor with strong ensemble chemistry (Erika Alexander, Precious Way, Bobby Moynihan) and channels the Fey-Carlock vibe fans love, while lightly hinting at deeper themes like post-retirement security and sports gambling. The first two episodes air Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET on NBC, with subsequent episodes Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET and streaming the next day on Peacock.
