EXCLUSIVE: Precious Way (Heist 88) and Jayln Hall (Till) have joined the cast of Tracy Morgan‘s untitled NBC comedy pilot from Tina Fey, Robert Carlock and writer Sam Means.
Written by Carlock and Means, the new comedy stars Morgan as a disgraced former football player on a mission to rehabilitate his image.
The pair joins previously announced cast members Erika Alexander as ‘Monica,’ Reggie’s childhood sweetheart from Brooklyn who co-parents with him and still is his agent and business manager, even though they divorced years ago; Daniel Radcliffe as Arthur Tobin, an award-winning filmmaker who moves into Reggie’s mansion to film an immersive documentary about the former star running back; and Bobby Moynihan as ‘Gator,’ Reggie’s loyal former teammate who has always stuck with him even when things went sideways.
