NBC premiered a revival of the 80s and 90s sitcom Night Court in 2023. The series has been praised for being fresh while keeping the spirit of the original. In season 3, Fear the Walking Dead actress Mo Collins made a guest appearance, and as always, Collins is a highlight of the episode.
Collins is an actress, artist, and comedian who always brings her A game to anything she does. Fans love her unforgettable performances as the eccentric host of Pawnee Today, Joan Callamezzo in Parks and Recreation, and as Lorraine Swanson, Stuart's Mother, and Trina on MadTV.
Night Court, the revival, features Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), daughter of the late Harry Stone (Harry Anderson), the star of the original series, who returns to NYC to take the position once held by her later father. The night shift of Manhattan's Criminal Court isn't easy, but Judge Stone does her best to wrangle her chaotic crew into performing their jobs.
Collins appeared in S03E11 of Night Court, "Abracadabra Alaka_Dan," which premiered on Feb. 25. The episode features Collins as Starla, a former magician assistant to Abby's father who continues Harry's legacy of magic in the courtroom.
The cast of the new Night Court includes John Larroquette who also starred in the original. He reprises his role as Dan Fielding, who is now the public defender, and is joined by many new faces. India de Beaufort as prosecutor Olivia, Lacretta as the sharp-witted bailiff, Donna "Gurgs" Gurganous, Kapil Talwalkar as the shy but detail oriented clerk, Neil, Wendie Malick as prosecutor and former romantic partner of Fielding, Julianne Walters
