Inside the Drama series race, plus 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins' star Erika Alexander

From her early roots on 'The Cosby Show' and 'Living Single' to her new NBC comedy 'The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,' Erika Alexander chats with Awardist host Gerrad Hall about reuniting with Tracy Morgan (and shares her amazing impression of him!), why she originally thought her character might be 'batshit crazy,' and how costar Daniel Radcliffe protects the cast, and she looks back on the shows that made her a star. Plus, from 'The Pitt' and 'Pluribus' to 'The Boys' and 'The Madison,' Gerrad, EW Sr. Editor Joyce Eng, and Executive Editor Samantha Highfill are breaking down the Drama series race, and Sam is sharing her picks for shows that Emmy voters should be paying more attention to.
