Morgan and Radcliffe to preview Reggie Dinkins at New York Comedy Festival
Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe will give New York audiences an early look at “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” next month. The New York Comedy Festival will host an advanced screening of Season 2, Episode 3 on Saturday, Nov. 14, followed by a conversation with the cast and creative team, according to Variety. An advanced screening means the episode is shown to this crowd before its wider release.
Morgan will sit on the Nov. 14 panel with Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way and Jalyn Hall. Co-creators and executive producers Robert Carlock and Sam Means will join them. Executive producers are the senior creative leads who oversee writing and production. Josh Horowitz of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast will moderate the session.
The festival will follow that preview with a second NBC session the next day. On Sunday, Nov. 15, Jane Krakowski will appear on a panel about the evolution of NBC comedy. She will be joined by writer-producers Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, with performers Chelsea Peretti, Judah Friedlander and Jane Levy completing the line-up. Writer-producers develop scripts and run the writers’ room, while performers bring those scripts to the screen.
Both panels will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel in Times Square. Entry is free, but tickets are required. Seats are limited. Booking ahead will be essential.
Both sessions are extensions of NBC100 programming, the network’s banner celebrating 100 years of storytelling. The banner links festival appearances to NBC’s centenary season. It puts a current series and a look back at comedy history under one umbrella. The November dates put both NBC panels in the festival’s closing weekend.
For fans, this means two different nights out in one weekend. Saturday is close up on one working show and the team that makes it. Sunday pulls back to trace how NBC comedies have changed across writers, casts and eras.
The New York Comedy Festival itself runs from Nov. 6 to Nov. 15. The 2026 edition has grown steadily, with more than 100 additional shows announced in August, according to I Love NY. Anyone planning to go should check listings early. Anyone planning to go should realise large ensemble panels tend to fill quickly.
