Over the weekend, FOX hosted sold-out screenings of their new sitcom “REL” in Chicago and Atlanta. The show’s namesake, Lil Rel Howery, attended in his Chicago hometown on Saturday at Showplace ICON Theater, while cast member Jordan L. Jones was on hand in Atlanta yesterday at Regal Atlantic Station.

In Atlanta, Dish Nation/Rickey Smiley Morning Show co-host Headkrack hosted the screening and facilitated the Q&A with Jordan, who talked about his journey from production assistant last year to now co-starring on a major sitcom. He credited his actress mom and a strong faith in God for his success.

I was personally in attendance and I was optimistic about what the show would be like. Not only was the show funny but it was witty and timely. Ever Lil Rel is challenging his comedic abilities by bringing in characters like Martin Lawrence did in her 90s sitcom Martin. We haven't seen comedians on the small screen give us what we have been missing, comedies with a relatable feel. I think many will like Rel.

A special preview of “Rel” premieres this Sunday, September 9 at 8/7c (after NFL on FOX). The regular season begins Sunday, September 30 at 9:30pm on FOX. https://www.fox.com/rel/
