Night Court creator Reinhold Weege—who passed away in 2012—sat on the bench with a group of New York City night court judges and developed a story around them. “I was moved by the craziness of New York Manhattan night court,” he said in E!’s 2002 documentary TV Tales: Night Court. “There were stories in the newspaper at the time of judges with seri...
In real life, Harry Anderson—who passed away in April 2018—was a magician, and at the time of the show’s casting, he had a stint on Saturday Night Live (he’d also been on Cheers). One of Night Court’s producers, Jeff Melman, and his wife were watching Anderson stick a needle through his arm on SNLand thought he’d be good for the part. “The name Har...
In the first couple of seasons, Dan Fielding’s not an arrogant womanizer like he is in later seasons. “If you look at the early episodes, my character was this sort of tight-lipped, vested, pipe-smoking, conservative fellow,” John Larroquette toldThe A.V. Club, “and of course I was putting garden hoses down my pants by the end of the series. I thin...

Actress Marsha Warfield was in her early 30s when she was cast ...
In 1983, Richard Moll starred in an obscure B-movie called Metalstorm: The Destruction of Jared-Syn, which required him to shave his head. Around the same time, Moll got called in to audition for Night Court. Weege said on E!’s TV Tales: Night Courtthat the 6’8” bald actor wasn’t what he’d envisioned for the character, but he liked Moll’s acting. “...
In a second season episode titled “Take My Wife, Please,” a pre-Seinfeld Michael Richards played Eugene Sleighbough, a man who thought he was invisible. He stood before the court, accused of robbing an apartment because he thought nobody could see him when, in fact, hundreds of people did. “They probably have some kind of heat sensing device,” Slei...
The instrumental Night Court theme song features a throbbing bass and a sax solo, and some people thought it worked well with other material. Musician Ramsey Ess mashed-up Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies” with the Night Court theme song to form “Single Night Court Ladies.” A 2007 Family Guy episode called “Bill & Peter’s Bogus Journey” sees Bill Clinton p...
NBC officially canceled the show during the ninth season, but Warner Bros., who distributed the show, was in the process of trying to sell Night Courtfor first-run syndication. Because there was a possibility that the show might come back on another network, the final episode was cobbled together. “The only thing I’m angry about is that Warner Bros...
The Night Court series finale found Dan realizing that Christine was the love of his life instead of Christine and Harry finally admitting their feelings for each other.
