THE SPOT
Terrell Davis approaches teammate John Elway with a bowl of Campbell’s Soup after a football game in the :30 "Quarterback Sneak." Elway tries the soup as Davis calls him "Sweetypie" and "Johnny Bear." The quarterback reaches for Davis’ face and literally pulls it off, revealing the running back to be Elway’s plucky mom. Elway asks his mother, "How long have you been wearing this?" She responds, "Since the half."

"It's old school versus new school and them teaching each other lessons from both sides," says Wayans Jr., who played Coach in the Fox sitcom "New Girl."
"They (the characters) bring the best out in each other and they're resistant initially. But then throughout the episode they have revelations and these revelations help them become better people," he adds.
The two have worked together before — dad made an appearance on son's "Happy Endings" and "Happy Together," while son was a writer and guest star on dad's "My Wife and Kids." But this is the first time they have headlined a series together.
The half-hour comedy — premiering Monday and co-starring Essence Atkins and Tetona Jackson — smartly leaves places in the script where father and son can let... Read More
