“The Best Dan” is the title of the season finale for Night Court Season 2 and it’s full of guest stars, just in time for the wedding of Roz (original series character played by Marsha Warfield!) Here’s how NBC describes the episode, which airs on March 26; a gallery of promotional photos can be found below.
Roz finds herself in court after her wedding venue falls through, prompting Abby to offer up the courthouse for the big day. Dan strikes up a connection with a wedding guest who has ties to his past, only to realize that his reputation precedes him. Abby and Jake set rules to keep their relationship casual. Gurgs suspects foul play and enlists Olivia, Wyatt and Flobert to investigate.

Marsha Warfield makes another return appearance as Roz, Ryan Hansen guest stars as Jake and Indira G. Wilson plays as Roz’s soon-to-be-wife Loretta. Additional guest stars include Julia Duffy as Susan, Gigi Rice as Christine Sullivan’s sister Katie, and Kenneth Mosley as Devin.
The eternally optimistic Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) follows in the footsteps of her revered late father, Judge Harry Stone, as she takes on the challenge of overseeing the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court.
Abby always sees the best in people and her passion for justice is undeniable. In her quest to bring order and dignity to the court and reign in its colorful crew of oddballs, she enlists former night court district attorney Dan Fielding (John Larroquette) to serve as the court’s public defender. Still exceedingly self-confident, Fielding must adjust to a new boss and a new job – defending the downtrodden. And, beneath his arrogant demeanor, there is an empathetic side to Fielding that Abby is determined to unearth.
They both must contend with Olivia (India de Beaufort), the court’s officious assistant district attorney. Driven and ambitious, she views the night court as a steppingstone on her way to bigger things. Donna “Gurgs” Gurganos (Lacretta) is the night court’s sharp-witted bailiff. Gurgs takes her job very seriously and is fiercely protective of her night court colleagues. Rounding out the staff is Wyatt Shaw (Nyambi Nyambi), the court’s new clerk. He’s a jack of all trades and devoted single dad trying to make it all work as a law student at the same time.
