Bobby Moynihan Steals the Show as Reggie Dinkins Mania Pilot Hits Record Ratings

More than a decade after his iconic sitcom,30 Rock, came to an end, the fan-favorite comedian is back on the network with The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins.

Celebrating its premiere on January 18, the title is already off to a strong start as it runs a touchdown with solid viewership numbers and gathers a fanbase.

It’s easy to see why people are quickly flocking to the new project thanks to not only Morgan’s performance but also that of its ensemble, which boasts a standout lineup of talent that includes Daniel Radcliffe, Bobby Moynihan, and Erika Alexander.

Today, Collider is thrilled to share an exclusive first look at the latest episode, “Save the Cat,” which is slated to air on NBC tonight, March 9, at 8:30 pm.

Filmed in a mockumentary style, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins follows its titular character (Morgan), who was once a pro football player until he was tackled by struggles in both his personal and professional life.

Hopeful to clear his image, Reggie goes on a mission to make things right with his friends and family, a plan that starts with hiring an award-winning filmmaker named Arthur Tobin (Radcliffe) to record his every move.

With everything now on the record, Reggie is forced to make amends and come face-to-face with the bad decisions he's made in the past.

Filling out the rest of the supporting ensemble are Precious Way, Jalyn Hall, with Heidi Gardner, Anna Camp, Craig Robinson, Ronny Chieng, and Corbin Bernsenjoining as guest stars.

The Reggie Dinkins debuted to 5.8 million Live + Same Day viewers last month after the midseason comedy was handed an early premiere behind an NFL playoff game between the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears.

It was NBC’s most-watched comedy series debut in three years, since the reboot ofNight Court.

However, the new total, which accounts for delayed viewing on Peacock and other digital platforms in the 50 days since the premiere, represents an increase of more than 100% compared to the original audience.

The episode 2 of “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,” titled “Nittany Means Big,” is Peacock’s most-watched comedy episode of the 2025-2026 season to date, though an exact viewership total is not known.

Collider offered an exclusive first look at an upcoming episode, "Save the Cat," scheduled to air on NBC on March 9 at 8:30 pm.

This preview highlights a personal moment between Reggie’s ex-turned-manager, Monica, and his best friend, Rusty.

During a late-night chat over cereal, Monica seeks dating advice from Rusty as she considers re-entering the dating scene and embracing modern trends.
