Some of the funniest names associated with NBC will appear on panels at the New York Comedy Festival.
On Saturday, Nov. 14, “The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins” will hit the festival with an advanced screening of Season
2, Episode 3, followed by a conversation with the cast and creative team. Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way and Jalyn Hall will appear on the panel alongside series co-creators and executive producers Robert Carlock and Sam Means. Josh Horowitz of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast will moderate.
Plus, on Sunday, Nov. 15, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” duo Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici will speak on a panel about the evolution of NBC comedy alongside series star Chelsea Peretti, “30 Rock” actors Jane Krakowski and Judah Friedlander, and Jane Levy, who stars on Goor and Del Tredici’s upcoming project, “Sunset P.I.”
The group of actors and showrunners will celebrate the series Goor and Del Tredici have influenced as producers and writers, including “Parks and Recreation,” “30 Rock” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”
Both panels are free (with tickets required) and are taking place at the Hard Rock Hotel in Times Square. Both events are also extensions of the NBC100 programming. The network behind “Saturday Night Live” and “The Office” is celebrating 100 years of storytelling, culminating in a three-hour primetime special on Dec. 10.
Goor and Del Tredici are gearing up to debut their next NBC sitcom, a single-camera workplace comedy starring Jake Johnson as a cynical detective working at a past-its-prime private investigator agency in Hollywood. Johnson is joined by cast members Levy, Langston Kerman, Mary Shalaby and Keith David. Rounding out the ensemble are Spencer Moss, Nelson Franklin, Patrick Gallagher, David Paymer and Wrenn Schmidt. NBC announced it was picking up “Sunset P.I.” to series in May.
The New York Comedy Festival runs from Nov. 6 to 15.
