He noted that The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins will feature references to 30 Rock (the sets, dialogues, or even the settings might take viewers back to the hit sitcom). Here's what he said,

"It'll be a real test for the people of TikTok to see if they, 1 find the show on broadcast and 2, if they can find the 30 Rock Easter eggs.
