Radcliffe & Morgan: An Unlikely Sitcom Duo

Daniel Radcliffe, celebrated for his iconic role as Harry Potter, is venturing into the world of sitcoms alongside Tracy Morgan in Tina Fey's new comedy, "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins." Radcliffe will embody Arthur Tobin, an accomplished filmmaker tasked with creating a documentary about Morgan's character, Reggie Dinkins, who faces disgrace after an NFL career.

This collaboration, brought together by Fey and Robert Carlock, marks a significant collaboration between stars from different entertainment realms. Creator Robert Carlock noted Radcliffe was the ideal choice, citing his post-Potter career's "wonderfully weird choices." Radcliffe himself felt a connection to the role, acknowledging similarities between his own career path and the character's.

The comedy, which premieres on February 23rd at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, promises a unique dynamic. Both Radcliffe and Morgan expressed enthusiasm for their on-screen chemistry, which Fey herself recognized as mirroring her own creative partnerships. The series reunites Morgan and Fey, alumni of "30 Rock" and "Saturday Night Live."
