We gush about the NightCourt revival alongside MelissaRauch, discussing how she achieves the perfect tonal dissocance of the original and what superfan questions might be answered down the line:
Three decades after the original Night Court ended its nine-season run on NBC, the iconic sitcom is back with a revival series, also titled Night Court. The new series sees John Larroquette return as Dan Fielding, a role for which the veteran performer won four consecutive Emmy awards. He stars alongside the new lead character, Judge Abby Stone, the daughter of the original protagonist Harry Stone .
Melissa Rauch: That's amazing! First of all, happy birthday. And you watched them twice? That is so nice! Melissa Rauch: [Laughs] Something like that, for sure! I love what you said about the tone, because that's exactly what drew me to doing this show. Even as a kid, I was obsessed with TV, and I remember watching Night Court, and there was something different going on. The comedy has vaudevillian, almost absurdist moments. But then you'd have a moment of Harry visiting Dan in the hospital.
Screen Rant: I don't know who else could play Abby but you. There's some Harry in there, but she's her own person. You get that, especially in the later episodes, but there's some really profound moments. The old show always did, and now continues to feel very true to New York City. It's an absurd little place! Screen Rant: This isn't a reunion show, but you know people are going to be wondering and worrying about Abby's parentage.
Melissa Rauch: Yeah. They'll be sprinkled in. I think there will be a little bit of TV magic at hand with the dates, based on how old Abby would need to be, versus when the show ended and when he would need to have had a child, in terms of Abby's age, but yeah, I think, little by little, it will all unfold.
Screen Rant: After season 2, Ellen Foley disappears without a trace so Markie Post can show up. I love Ellen Foley! I have all of her albums, I've seen her in concert many times... When's she gonna be on the show? Screen Rant: I'm doing an Inception on you. Is it working? Don't answer that. Last question: tell me about stepping on the set for the first time and seeing John as Dan again.
