Night Court: Melissa Rauch Shares BTS Look at Season 2 Table Read

Returning tonight to kick off Season 2, Night Court star & EP Melissa Rauch posted a video offering a behind-the-scenes look at a table read.

With only hours to go until the second season premiere of series star & EP Melissa Rauch, co-star/EP John Larroquette & writer/EP Dan Rubin's Night Court hits our screens, we're getting another look at the hit sitcom. But as much as we've loved what we've seen so far for S02E01: "The Roz Affair," Rauch is passing along a little something special. We all know that table reads and read-thru are essential parts of the filming process – but it's also a part of the process that we don't get to see nearly enough of. Well, that's about to change because Rauch has shared a glimpse inside their table read to show how the words make it to the screen.

"Tonight is the night (court)! Season 2 Premiere of #NightCourt Here's a little behind-the-scenes of what our table read looks like where we get to say the words of our incredible writers for the first time!" Rauch wrote in her Instagram post, sharing a clip of the team at work along with a reminder that we can see the end results tonight on NBC:

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 – followed by a look at the cast getting us up to speed on what we need to know about the second season:

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

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.
