Night Court: Looking Back at Season 1 "Greatest Hits"; S02E01 Preview

Along with a preview for Night Court S02E01: "The Roz Affair," we have a look back at the "greatest hits" from the NBC series' first season.

After being treated to a "holiday present" this past weekend, series star & EP Melissa Rauch, co-star/EP John Larroquette & writer/EP Dan Rubin's Night Court returns on January 2 in a very big way – and with a very familiar face returning to pick up where things left off in the season finale. But before we get to that – and because it's that time of the year when we start looking back on everything before January 1st hits – we wanted to pass along a friendly reminder of why the NBC series is returning for a second season. Yup, it's a look at the "greatest hits" from the first season – with the hope that when we get one at the end of the second season, it also includes the holiday episode because there were some fine moments there, too.

Here are just some of the best that the first season had to offer – followed by a look ahead to 2024 and the second season:

Night Court Season 2 Ep. 1 "The Roz Affair" Preview

As you can tell by the title of the Mathew Harawitz-penned S02E01: "The Roz Affair," Marsha Warfield's Roz is back – with Dan (Larroquette) helping her with an investigation that quickly goes awry. And guess who they find themselves pleading their case in front of? Meanwhile, Gurgs (Lacretta) holds court with tales of her London adventures, and Olivia (India de Beaufort) considers a side job as a sports agent. But it's Dan & Roz who take center stage in the following preview as the two make up for lost time – just not in the best place possible. With NBC's Night Court returning for a second season on January 2, 2024, here's a look at a sneak preview of the season premiere:

And here's a look back at the preview images that were released earlier this month – followed by a look back at Rauch's reaction to Warfield appearing in the season finale:

Marsha Warfield's Roz Returns: Melissa Rauch Responds

During the Night Court season finale, "The Honorable Dan Fielding, Part 2," we see now Judge Dan Fielding (Larroquette) reading aloud what's next on his docket. "Another fight at a bachelorette party in the French Quarter. OK, bailiff, bring in this bride-to-be!" Judge Fielding orders – and guess who it is? Yup, we have Warfield's Roz entering the courtroom wearing a sash that reads "Bachelorette" – and Roz is having a hard time believing that anyone would give Dan the black robes. Here's a look at Rauch's Instagram post sharing two looks at her and Warfield, followed by the full transcript of Rauch's message:

Beyond thrilled to have had true 'Night Court' royalty in our presence with the brilliantly talented and hilarious [Marsha Warfield] reprising her legendary role of "Roz" in tonight's [Night Court]  season finale. The reaction from the studio audience the night we filmed it was magical. When she walked out on that set and, with her iconic laser delivery, served up her reply to John Larroquette's Dan Fielding, there were audible gasps of excitement, massive applause, laughter, and tears of joy. It was a truly special moment unlike anything I've ever witnessed," Rauch shared in a very sweet & heartfelt post. And that's when Rauch added that there was more of Warfield's Roz to come next season. "Not only is Marsha an immensely gifted actor and stand-up, she's one of the most wonderful humans. She has a remarkable gift in which the words she shares with you in conversation go directly into your heart, where they will stay cherished forever. Cannot thank her enough for joining us and for being absolutely incredible in every way. I'm so excited for you all to get to see more of Roz's return in our Season 2 premiere!" Rauch added.
