Larroquette talks to AARP about what its like to fit himself into his old attorneys suit.
Whats new withNight Courts most eloquently sarcastic attorney?
Hes 35 years older.
He still thinks he’s the smartest person in the room.
Is Dan Fielding still hilariously arrogant?
He is older, not quite as insecure, not as much a misanthrope.
And wants to help the ones who aren’t.
He used to leer at women very 80s, less acceptable nowadays.
To have a character as libidinous as he was back then just wouldnt work.
Society has changed, what we think is funny has changed.
You have to present a different kind of comedy today.
SoNight Courts high-IQ caveman isnt such a bad guy anymore?
I dont think he was ever bad.
The newNight Courtreceived 80 percent positive reviews from critics.
Do fans still remember you from the old show?
At the dry cleaning counter, the person whos 60 goes, Oh, nice to see you!
and the one in his or her 20s says, Whos that old man?
There are five phases to an active career.

The third is Get me a John Larroquette jot down.
The fourth is Get me a young John Larroquette.
And the fifth phase is John who?
