That Hashtag Show chatted with stars Precious Way, Jalyn Hall, Bobby Moynihan, and Erika Alexanderas, as well as creative duo Robert Carlock and Sam Means, about the process of bringing the comedy show to NBC.

Precious Way & Jalyn Hall

I love that they chose to go that route. It was such a great gift to me, because I’m like, ‘No no no. Brina actually loves Monica.’ She signed up for this package deal, because she’s like, ‘Wait a minute. I can’t do all that stuff. I don’t know how to do that yet.’ And I admire that she’s this powerful woman who created this beautiful thing and held it together, as crazy as it is. — Precious Way

Robert Carlock & Sam Means

When we went to Tracy, after we pitched him the idea, we went to him and said, ‘We were thinking about Dan[ielle] Radcliff for this role,’ and his response was, ‘Oh, we’re opposites in the best possible way.’ He got it immediatly, and that’s what we’ve been writing into. — Robert Carlock

Bobby Moynihan & Erika Alexander

[Rusty] is in it to win it no matter what. He’s there for Reggie no matter what. He will back Reggie up no matter what happens. But I also think he would do that for Monica, he would do that for most of the people in that house. — Bobby Moynihan

The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will return on Monday, February 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT with an encore of the pilot followed by a new episode at 8:30p.m. ET/PT. Beginning March 2, it will move to its regular time slot: Mondays at 8:30 p.m.
