Marsha Warfield was the third actress to play a female bailiff on Night Court, and is one of the few surviving cast members left. Therefore, you think they would’ve asked the legendary comic to join John Laroquette on the sequel. But as of now, they have not.
Instead of being bitter about it, she recorded a message for them. “There’s a new Night Court in town. Congratulations,” she said. “I hope that it is as wonderful as it sounds. And I wish the cast and crew and everyone involved all the best. ”
Then she had a few words for her former co-star, “John, congratulations. I can’t imagine a new show doing better than having you to build around. I hope everyone gets to learn as much from you as I did when I worked with you.”
What a class act! But she has always been one.
Unfortunately, she didn’t get to see the first episode when it aired. That is because she was doing what she was meant to: stand up!
