NBC's long-gestating Craig Robinson comedy is making another change.
Meagan Good (Deception)has joined the unscheduled comedy series in a recurring role, replacing Lenora Crichlow (A to Z), The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The comedy centers on a journeyman musician (The Office's Robinson, whose character has the same name) who gets a job as a music teacher at a high school and, while teaching the kids everything from rock to the blues, learns how to put the school's rules to the test.
