Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe Head NBC Panels at Comedy Festival

By Elena Vasquez

Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe and Jane Krakowski will join NBC comedy panels at the New York Comedy Festival on Nov. 14 and 15. Both events take place at the Hard Rock Hotel in Times Square. Both are free, with tickets required.

The network is using the festival to extend its NBC100 programming, a celebration of 100 years of storytelling. That campaign culminates in a three-hour primetime special on Dec. 10.

What happens on Nov. 14?

"The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins" gets an advanced screening of Season 2, Episode 3 on Saturday, Nov. 14. The screening runs first. A cast conversation follows.

The panel includes:

• Tracy Morgan
• Daniel Radcliffe
• Erika Alexander
• Bobby Moynihan
• Precious Way
• Jalyn Hall
• Co-creators and executive producers Robert Carlock and Sam Means

Josh Horowitz of the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast moderates. The takeaway: festivalgoers see the episode before broadcast and hear from nearly the full creative team in one room.

Who appears on the Nov. 15 panel?

"Brooklyn Nine-Nine" duo Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici lead a Sunday panel on the evolution of NBC comedy. They appear alongside series star Chelsea Peretti, "30 Rock" actors Jane Krakowski and Judah Friedlander, and Jane Levy.

Levy stars in Goor and Del Tredici's upcoming project, "Sunset P.I." The panel will celebrate the series the two producers and writers have influenced, including "Parks and Recreation," "30 Rock" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine."

In plain words: one panel gathers the showrunners behind three of NBC's defining comedies of the past two decades.

What is "Sunset P.I."?

Goor and Del Tredici's next NBC sitcom is a single-camera workplace comedy. Jake Johnson stars as a cynical detective working at a past-its-prime private investigator agency in Hollywood.

The cast also includes Jane Levy, Langston Kerman, Mary Shalaby and Keith David. Spencer Moss, Nelson Franklin, Patrick Gallagher, David Paymer and Wrenn Schmidt round out the ensemble. NBC announced the series pickup in May.

The New York Comedy Festival runs from Nov. 6 to 15. The two NBC panels sit in the festival's final weekend, days before the network's Dec. 10 centenary special — a programming alignment that turns a promotional stretch into a milestone event.
