*In The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, comedy and rivalry collide in a way that feels both nostalgic and sharply entertaining. Led by Tracy Morgan, the series explores the chaotic life of former football star Reggie Dinkins, whose glory days are long behind him, but never far from his mind.
The show raises the stakes with a standout three-episode guest arc featuring Craig Robinson. Robinson steps into the role of Jerry, Reggie’s longtime rival and ultimate arch nemesis.
Their history runs deep: the two once faced off on the football field, where Reggie consistently outshone Jerry. Back then, Reggie had the talent, the spotlight, and the edge. But time has flipped the script.
Now, Jerry is the one thriving, enjoying a successful career that he never lets Reggie forget. Robinson’s character leans into that reversal with comedic precision, constantly throwing his success in Reggie’s face. It’s a dynamic that fuels both the humor and the tension, as Reggie struggles to reconcile who he was with who he has become.

“When he (Jerry) was competing with Tracy (Reggie) he always came in number two. So, he’s held onto that pettiness for all this time. So every time he sees Reggie, it’s a problem. He’s got to top him some kind of way,” said Craig Robinson when talking about his character, Jerry.
What makes this arc especially compelling is the natural chemistry between Morgan and Robinson. As two seasoned comedians, their timing is effortless, and their back-and-forth feels both competitive and collaborative. Whether trading insults or reliving their shared past, the duo brings an exciting element that elevates every scene they share.
Their on-screen rivalry is more than just laughs. It’s a fun look at pride, personal growth, and how life doesn’t always go the way you planned. With these two comedic powerhouses going head-to-head, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins delivers some of its most hilarious moments yet, showing that the best rivalries often come with a little history and a lot of playful shade.
