Spoilers for 'Young Rock'
The new NBC sitcom premiere episode of 'Young Rock' titled 'Working the Gimmick' takes us into the future in the year 2032 when Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is running for president. From there, we are taken back to his family days as a young child, the wrestling icons he was around growing up, his "rebellious" years as a teenager and his life as an NCAA football player at the University of Miami. "This is how the boy became the man," reads the premiere episode's synopsis.
While we all know enough of the life of the megastar by now, the sitcom gives us a fresh and hilarious perspective on how the former wrestler became who he is today. The second episode, however, seems to bring forward the comedy perspective to the forefront as we're set in the year 1987 in Pennsylvania where a date doesn't go as planned. Read on to find out what the second episode will be about and when it will air.
