Per its title, the NBC<\/a> sitcom \u201cThe Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins<\/a>\u201d is a comeback story, but it\u2019s also a reunion. Comedian Tracy Morgan<\/a> has produced a wide-ranging body of work since his breakout on \u201cSaturday Night Live<\/a>\u201d at the turn of the millennium \u2014 and, more dramatically, since sustaining severe injuries in a New Jersey traffic collision in 2014. But his most iconic role remains, if not himself, then a part directly adjacent to his own persona: Tracy Jordan<\/a>, the chaotic yet lovable co-lead of Tina Fey<\/a>\u2019s meta entertainment satire \u201c30 Rock<\/a>.\u201d For seven seasons, Morgan balanced deep-cut cultural references and cracks about corporate mergers with a needed dose of anarchy, while Fey<\/a> and her writers formed a knack for channeling Morgan\u2019s ebullient energy into absurd, instantly iconic bits like \u201cWerewolf Bar Mitzvah\u201d or the concept of an Egot.<\/p>\n
