Night Court Cast Then & Now: From Laughter to Legacy – Where Are They Now?

Night Court, the beloved sitcom from 1984 to 1992, made a memorable mark on television history with its irreverent humour and quirky characters. Recently revived in 2023, the show has reignited the interest in its talented cast. In this article, we look at what the Night Court cast members have been up to in the years between the original series and its revival.

The Original Cast of ‘Night Court’ Then and Now


In 1984, a downtown municipal night court for petty crimes unexpectedly became the backdrop for a TV show that quickly gained popularity. The irreverent sitcom Night Court aired on NBC for nine seasons, initially serving as a midseason replacement immediately following Cheers. The series concluded with its final episode on May 31, 1992.

Fast forward to 2023, NBC revived the sitcom, and it made a successful comeback with impressive ratings. Now, let’s delve into the activities and endeavours of the cast during the intervening decades.

Harry Anderson, known for his role as Judge Harry Stone, started as a comedian and magician on Saturday Night Live and Cheers. Despite considering himself more of a trickster than an actor, Anderson embraced occasional film roles and stand-up comedy performances. He also ventured into opening a magic shop and comedy club in New Orleans. Sadly, Anderson passed away in 2018 at 65 due to a stroke caused by influenza and heart disease.
