*The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins* is putting together an all-star team.

* *has exclusively learned that Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe's new NBC football comedy series has added Heidi Gardner, Anna Camp, Ronny Chieng, and Corbin Bernsen to the cast in guest-star roles.

Originally titled *The Untitled Tracy Morgan Project,* new series *The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins *comes* *from the team behind *30 Rock* (co-creators Robert Carlock and Sam Means, and executive producer Tina Fey) and stars Morgan as the titular disgraced NFL superstar. When Reggie hires award-winning filmmaker Arthur Tobin (Radcliffe) to make a documentary about his life and career in the hopes it will win back the respect of his fans, peers, and family, he’ll have to face the ghosts of his past.

*Saturday Night Live *alum Gardner appears in two episodes as Tisha Basmati, the glamorous, passive-aggressive wife of Reggie's (Morgan) long-time rival, who hates Reggie's ex-wife/current business manager Monica (Erika Alexander) just as much as her husband hates Reggie.

Expect that storyline to continue all the way through to the season finale. "This nemesis character who pops up in the middle of the season comes back trying to thwart Reggie's dreams and drive a wedge between him and his best friend, Rusty [Bobby Moynihan]," Carlock tells EW.

Gardner's surprising exit from *SNL* was announced in August, ahead of the show's 51st season, which began Oct. 4. She starred on the NBC sketch series for eight seasons.

Meanwhile,* The Daily Show*’s Emmy-winning correspondent/guest host Chieng appears in three episodes as Barry, a slick, aggressive, powerful sports agent who tries to poach Monica for his own company and force her to drop Reggie as a client.

"He is the best," Means says of the *Crazy Rich Asians* star. "We're so thrilled we get to work with him again."

*L.A. Law *and* Psych *alum Bernsen appears in three episodes as Duck Donovan, Reggie's former NFL coach who blames Reggie for his own life falling on hard times post-scandal. Duck goes everywhere with his emotional support cat, Namath.

"In an episode, Reggie realizes his former coach's career and life kind of imploded after he left the league and the team fell apart," Carlock says. "He sees that coach's cat is missing, and he convinces himself that if he can find the cat — and it's a very literal save-the-cat kind of thing — it becomes this odyssey of trying to find a cat in the wilderness of New Jersey and it's more white whale than anything else."

And *Pitch Perfect *star Camp, who will also be seen in the upcoming *Scream 7,* has a two-episode arc as Narcissa Ocean, Arthur’s wild ex who he blames for his career implosion.

"It's been really fun to unpack this mysterious past that Dan's character has and the mistakes he made and has tried to kind of keep quiet," Carlock teases. "And that comes back to haunt him as well."

*The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins* premieres Feb. 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
