Were the lucky ones!
How is the 2024 Night Court different from 1992?
It’s likeNight Courthad a baby,Night Court Jr.But it has its own flavor.
It has its own gas, its own chemistry.
What was Rozs role on the old show, and who is she now?
Roz was the observer/commentator.
Roz always reminded me of Eve Arden in the 1950s sitcom Our Miss Brooks very sardonic.
Eve Arden was I wont say crush, but one of my first comedy influences.
I just loved her deadpan delivery, slow burns and long takes.
I like to tease people that Im everybody’s mother’s favorite comedian.
Theres a kind of family resemblance between those characters I think Harry would be happy with it.
Harrys Judge Stone was pretty close to Harry the man.
Harry was a scamp and a rogue, but a really sweet guy.
And Melissa is a really sweet person.
She brings that same kind of softhearted love to the show.
Its the glue that held the mayhem together.
Johns Dan can play his curmudgeonly self against this really sweet person.
That was a big part of what madeNight Courtwork.
It wasn’t just the exploding desks and giant cue balls.
John told AARP that Dan used to jump over railings in court, but doesnt so much anymore.
Hes still pretty spry!
He still manages to do a few little cute choreographed cool things.
I don’t think hes slowed down that much.
He just can’t help it, hes a natural.
