NBC announced today that the sitcoms Young Rock and Kenan are going to debut on February 16th before This Is Us. That means that Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist will go on a break after being back for six episodes.
According to the press release, Young Rock focuses on different chapters of Dwayne Johnson’s life. From growing up in a strong and resilient family, to being surrounded by the wild characters of his professional wrestling family, to playing football at the University of Miami, the show will explore the crazy rollercoaster that has shaped Dwayne into the man he is today and the larger-than-life characters he’s met along the way.
While Kenan is about a recently widowed host of Atlanta’s #2 morning show, struggles to balance his job and his young daughters despite all the “help” he gets from his father-in-law and his brother/manager/house guest.
Hopefully, the two comedies will convince This Is Us to add a little more humor to the drama and stop being so melodramatic.
The Rock has three daughters, and they each have him wrapped around their finger. Case in point, this weekend, he played with his youngest girl, and Tia got her dad to play dress up with her so that he could go to sleep. He was such a good father that he let her do whatever she wanted to do to him.
In the movies, DJ takes on the biggest action stars and natural disasters, and he wins. In real life, he is taken down by a 2-year-old! Now that is a movie I want to see him do. Maybe he can play the Tooth Fairy in an upcoming film. He has never done that before, or we just don’t talk about it.
Bob Newhart has had a legendary career that spanned over 60 years. It is also one that people in the industry admire. Therefore, it would make sense that someone might want to do a biopic on his life.
If that were to happen, then The Hollywood Reporter wants to know who he would want to play him. “The Rock,” Newhart told them. “Because of our physical resemblance, I am always confused for him. Fans start talking wrestling and I have to say, “‘No, I am not him.'”
I can’t think of a better actor to take on the part. Bob and DJ are twins. I can barely tell them apart. Can you tell which one is the Elf and which one is the Tooth Fairy?
The Rock might be the highest-paid actor in Hollywood, but that doesn’t mean he is above doing daddy duties on Christmas Day. DJ had to do things like clean up all of the wrapping paper, bows, and boxes, and then throw it all away.
Did he mind? “Dwanta Claus delivers…Dwanta Claus cleans up the trash,” Dwayne Johnson said. “That’s the way love goes. 😉🎅🏾”
Then when he was done, he was able to find his daughters, Jasmine and Tia, under all of that mess. That was when he got his gift. He got to see his pride and joy smiling as they enjoyed the presents he gave to them.
The Rock has had such an interesting life that NBC is giving him a show about his youth. In order to promote Young Rock, the network gave him his own float at the MACY*S Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Did they model it after DJ now? Nope, they went back to his greatest pose. You know the one. The one where he stands next to the staircase looking all sexy while wearing a fanny pack.
The Rock is bigger than life, so it makes sense he would have a hot air balloon in his image.
Young Rock debuts in February, and I can’t wait to see how he depicts our college days.
