The Untold Truth Of Night Court

Audiences fell in love with Night Court's wacky portrayal of a Manhattan courtroom. Whether it’s the history of the jazzy theme song, celebrity guest stars, or the cast of misfits that make up the ensemble, this is everything you never knew about the beloved sitcom.

A magician and comedian, the late Harry Anderson appeared on Saturday Night Live and guest-starred on Cheers as con man "Harry the Hat" before landing on the bench at Night Court. As Judge Harold "Harry" T. Stone, Anderson is the moral center of the show, with a screwball sense of humor and a love of magic tricks, classic films, and the music of Mel Tormé.
A relatively young jurist in his 30s, Harry lands the gig out of hundreds of candidates because he happened to be home on a Sunday to answer the mayor's call, as he explains in the pilot, "All You Need Is Love."

In the show's finale, he receives an offer to tour with Tormé, who by then had made several guest appearances on Night Court. In addition to Judge Stone, Anderson, who died in 2018, played humorous columnist Dave Barry in the 1990s sitcom Dave's World and the adult Richie Tozier in the 1990 TV adaptation of Stephen King's It.
