Everybody’s TV in the country was tuned to NBC from 8 to 11. People don’t realize just how big Must See TV was. ![]() “I went from being a stand up, which is what I did for 12 years before I got ‘Night Court.’ I had limited experience and I was thrown into a top four TV show. Indeed, Warfield said “Night Court” had a lasting impact on her life. “I told her, ‘just do you baby, just be you and enjoy it and enjoy the ride.’ It’s life changing.” Warfield said she had a chance to chat with Lacretta, bailiff-to-bailiff. The new “Night Court” also stars India de Beaufort, Kapli Talwalkar and Lacretta, who plays the bailiff. ![]() “Yeah, John and I discussed that, had a moment, raised a toast with our water bottles and acknowledged that.” “You can’t deny that you look over at on the set where people were when you were there and say, ‘they’re not there,'” Warfield said. Warfield did add that it was a bit bittersweet to return when many of her “Night Court” co-stars have passed away in recent years - including Anderson, Markie Post (who played public defender Christine Sullivan) and Charlie Robinson (Mac Robinson). “He’s still the same actor I learned from when they threw me into the fire of a top four show.” “He’s still John, still the same guy who got so many Emmys he had to turn them down,” Warfield said of reuniting with Larroquette.

Warfield’s recent credits include an arc on Fox’s “9-1-1.” She compared the “Night Court” return to getting “an opportunity to try on your prom dress and see if it fits. And it was kind of surreal, in a good way.” It’s kinda like reliving old memories, while you make new ones. “But I was excited, an opportunity to work with John again and to get back on the set. “I didn’t have that on my bingo card,” she said. Warfield told Variety that she had no expectations of returning when the new “Night Court,” starring Melissa Rauch as Abby Stone (the daughter of the original series’ Judge Harry Stone) and Larroquette was first announced.
