Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
I met John Larroquette when I was 15 at a baseball tournament in Kitchener, Ontario. He was staying at the same hotel we were, and he gave me his autograph, right at the front desk. He's a super nice guy.
Did you happen to know Kitchener Leslie?
My friend was working as a tech on a show with him and it was taking longer for the filming and it was really hot. He bought food and drinks for all of the crew. She said he was a really nice, down to earth man, very kind.
@Paul Matthews Kitchener Leslie?of course were super tight.
I'm jealous! Would love to meet him!
I Loved Him In The Movie Second Sight With Bronson Pinchot. He Was So Funny. One Of My Favorite Actors. Love John.
I remember seeing John start out with an all star cast in Stripes many years ago, his career has spanned decades.
Shout out to him in the 10th Kingdom. One of my favourite shows ever.
I love him in Stripes haha! "I didnt know they could do that ! I wish i was a loofa !"
LA, la, LOVE John Larroquette!!
Can't wait to see it! Loved Night Court because of him!
a great comedic actor and the reason why the texas chainsaw massacre starts so terrifyingly
Great interview!!!
Just when I'm rewatching Night Court again...
Hope this is good. Love the original Night Court.
Dan Fielding was my favorite regular character on Night Court. They absolutely have to get Brent Spiner to play Bob Wheeler again. Can't wait for this, Melissa Rauch is brilliant casting!
There's no way Bob Wheeler is still alive at this point given the unfortunate circumstances that happened to him regularly.
@@colinprincipe6293 it's very Bob Wheeler thing to be still alive I would think.
Bob’s gonna outlive us all!!
I feel the exact same way Robert, in fact I just made the same comment on a different Night Court video. 👍
I ❤️ Night Court '84. Cast was fire.
R.I.P Diamond, Anderson, Post, & Robinson.
You forgot Halop
Richard Moll?
@@jasontodd9 Sorry about missing her.
@@ceebee18 80, still kicking 👍
@@ceebee18 He's alive! No need for a RIP
He has such a likable personality plus he's quick-witted and has a terrific voice.
We started watching Night Court a few months ago as our nightly before-bed show. We’re thrilled to find out there’s going to be a new storyline to follow and we hope they do their own thing. Welcome back, John!
He's good at sitcoms, he's good at adventure, he's good at legal drama. Terrific range.
I loved the legal drama mini series he did
And a lot of times the comedy included physical stuff. One of my favorite Dan moments is when Bull turned him into a pretzel.
also the galaxy's funniest Klingon
Terrific analysis. Kudos.
And he's a Klingon
I got to meet him circa 2016 while at work. I did the unthinkable and approached him as a fan. He greeted me with a smile, introduced me to his wife, and listened to me explain for a moment how big a fan me and my family are of his. He is to date the nicest and humblest celebrity I have ever met.
this makes me so happy. He was my huge crush for many years. I'm old now and past having crushes. I still love him though.
@@annem8152You are never too old to have a crush. I just saw John Larroquette in Night Court for the first time a couple weeks ago and I have the worst crush on him! And I am 37.
I used to watch Night Court as a kid and I remember that Dan Fielding was one of the funniest characters from the show. Some of the jokes probably went over my head back then. Lol
Dan Fielding was the measure of a man, for many more years than I was under the spell, which was several. May I be the 1st to say:
Me Too! Gotcha!
Same!!! Loved that show! Loved him!
Loved night court because of Dan fielding , John larroquette , I loved his no filter .
Lol same here. It was such a good show...I grow more and more optimistic about the remake as time goes.
Just might have to check it out.
this is the reboot
I miss those night court people. Harry Anderson was like a cool uncle.
He was also great in 'Stripes.' The telescope through the window gag gets me every time.
Do you remember when he gets exiled to a post in Alaska?
" Where the F*@K is my truck"?!
"I wish I was a loofah!"
🪨Remove It!!🪖
A couple soldiers took it to get it washed.
"I WILL KILL PEOPLE TODAY LEO, I will kill them with this Cricket bat which was presented to me by her Majesty Elizabeth Windsor and then I will kill them again with my bare hands!!!!!!" His appearance the West Wing is still FREAKING FANTASTIC
Yes! He really stole the Show in WW, especially considering the cast and leaving such an impression when he was only in 2 or 3 episodes. He dropped so many memorable lines
@@Andreas-ni2lt Luckily he got an even juicier role on Boston legal
It's hard to deliver Aaron Sorkin lines without sounding brilliant. The first eight minutes of the HBO series The Newsroom is perhaps the best monologue ever delivered on "TV", just stunning.
@@stevechance150 Can you tell us, in one sentence or less, why that's so?
@@baylinkdashyt could probably do it if walking down a series of long corridors.
Loved him in night court. Also liked him in The Librarians.
Gotta finally watch that Librarians.Try him out on Boston Legal.
The first season of The John Larroquette Show really was some of the best sitcom material ever written.
I agree. I am reminded of another old favorite sitcom of mine that nobody else watched: The Associates, with a theme song by B B King and starring Martin Short and Wilfred Hyde-White. Some of the best shows get ignored, it seems.
Love the sign in his office, "this is a dark ride", also the line, "always keep your area clean" - just classic.
LMAO
Yes and it is a literal crime that that show is not available anywhere.
@@robsemailty for the recommendation
Night Court was one of my absolute favorite shows as a kid.
MINE TOO.
Me 3
We need a BluRay release of the John Larroquette Show. That first season really amazing.
Boston legal as well
Times 100
@@vb8428 It doesn't appear to be on disc, but all 4 seasons are on Amazon Prime Video...
I agree completely. There’s not many shows from that era I remember, but this one still resonates with me.
One thing I remember is the sign he put in his office. “This is a dark ride”. It was definitely ahead of its time and should also be revived.
I need the McBride Mysteries on dvd
One of my favorite lawyer roles he played was the WH Counsel on The West Wing. Absolutely amazing.
I own the entire Night Court collection. I love that show. Rest in Peace to Harry and Markie.
Markie Post passed away? Wow!
And charlie
@@Smithworks2 she and Charlie both around the same time.
@@tmol222 i knew about him
It will be interesting to see how they play this since Dan Fielding was a tragic character, terrified of loneliness. I hope they explore that. The first season of The John Larroquette show was amazing, dark, and incredibly progressive for the time. Unfortunately they ended up mucking it up for ratings, but that first seasons was great.
I hope it's made available for streaming!!!

Didn't know he lived in Washington state!
Now everything needs to be DARK! It is a fucking COMEDY! Even if you are like you and just counting down the days until the sweet release of eternal sleep ends your misery, sometimes you still have have to ENJOY THE COMEDY
@@FUGP72 what are YOU trying to escape from…?
I was born in 84 and this is one of the earliest shows I remembered enjoying as a kid.
So sad Markie and Harry couldn’t return too. 😢
They at least got to reunite on "30 Rock" 📺
And Charles Robinson
Night Court was better than Cheers.
Night Court is one of my all-time favs, hope this revival sticks around.
That’s up to enough people to watch it when it airs on linear television.
It's not worth the trouble and won't get renewed for a second season
I was gloriously addicted to "Night Court" and eventually started pushing it on the other members of my family. My father particularly was tickled with Dan Fielding and couldn't stop giggling. The 90-mile an hour, 90-degree comedic turns were the best. I was so sad when those stars I considered friends passed away. I remember White House Counsel Trippy on "The West Wing". I know I must, MUST make an effort to see "Night Court, Re-visited" very soon! Thank you Mr. Larroquette!
Markie Post was a favorite of mine. After being on Fall Guy and a few other shows, I still remember her after all these years.
I caught the first two episodes the other night. It was good, he was great (of course), but I don't think it has sustainability.
@@taoist32 Let's not forget about her role in There's Something About Mary.
@@p-mashack Forgot about that! Haven’t seen the movie in years.
@@taoist32 After 25 years, the movie still holds up well.
Now we need to have Melissa talk Brent Spiner into reprising his role as Bob Wheeler, we all need to see how he and June are doing now a days.
Did they ever try to get back into farming chickens ?
With the price of Poultry and Eggs it makes you wonder :p
omg he is the best. everything I have seen him in, he just dominates. He is so great
John is a national treasure that must be preserved at all costs.
yup .. whatever preservation magic they use on Dick VanDike needs to be used on John
@@americanfreedomlogistics9984
Have some respect- Vandike? Do you know who you're referring to? Pathetic.
He's a marginally talented actor. If he's a 'national treasure', then so is Scott Baio. Oh wait, I bet you love Scott Baio, according to your intelligence.
National treasure? LMAO
I'm with you. John Larroquette is a national treasure.
THANK-YOU for addressing Crossroads, err - The John Larroquette Show! I loved that show when it debuted. The first season is some of sitcoms best television, ever. Such a diverse representation of life - real life - not just an idealised fishbowl like Friends or so many other sitcoms of that era. Indeed, it's a shame it didn't arrive later when the topics it tried to tackle may have been better received. It's a crime that this show is not available anywhere anyhow to enjoy again - no VHS, no DVD, no BluRay, no streaming.
Melissa Rouch could persuade me to join almost anything!
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
John is an absolute legend. I sincerely hope that Dan is still the same wormy, slimy horndog we all know and love.
Legend? LMAO. RIDICULOUS
No his not life has changed him
no. he's more like Roz used to be. Still great though.
It is so good to see an old actor that I remember from my scholarly years as still active (and not dead). With the glut of celebrities that have passed in the past couple of years, I could have been told that Larroquette has passed and I would have surmised such.
Same. The way things have been you just hear something terrible and go: "figures"
@@sarahoshea9603 It's definitely a different perspective since 3 or 4 years ago. I now revert to thinking that an older celebrity died last year rather than looking it up.
Such a great actor. His role as Lionel Tribbey in The West Wing is so small but phenomenal even amongst such a strong cast.
Shish kebab!
@@critthought2866 "I will kill people today Leo"!
@@themripley It's from Penzance!
He was Maltz the Klingon in Star Trek III The Search for Spock. the ONLY Klingon to survive from Kruge's crew. What a FABULOUS actor.
I had no idea...
I don't deserve to live - fine I'll kill you later lol
His classic line "I do not deserve to live!"
One of my favorite lines from Night Court and Larroquette - “You don’t walk through Central Park at night, you run through Central Park at night.” So happy, they are reviving the show. Big up from NYC, John!
UYD FOR LIFE!!!
He’s soooo proud of his children. So sweet!
very sweet .
And? Most parents are!!
I wasn't going to watch the Night Court reboot, but since John Larroquette is in it, I think I might. He's been one of my favorite actors since Black Sheep Squadron.
My introduction to Laroquette was as Tony in 10th Kingdom. Anybody remember that miniseries? I didn't see him in Night Court till years later. I loved the show and Dan was one of my favorite characters.
We played the 10th kingdom DVDs to scratched oblivion. I can still hear him say "time for walkies!"
@@elebenty5709 One of my favorites was " Can't find wood? In a forest?"
I knew him from night court first... but 10th kingdom is one of my favorite movies ever.
Him in Blind Date; "I'll KEEL YOOOOOUU". I cackle Every time.
John is an underrated actor. If you want to take a stroll back in time watch Second Sight, it's pretty funny. I had that movie on Laser Disc. 😆
"Black Sheep Squadron" - TV series 1970's
Didn't know he had such a successful career, he was so good in Boston Legal
I remember seeing the poster and trailer of Second Sight. By the way, someone just uploaded the full movie here on TH-cam.
@@aumarigan Oh nice!! 😆
Altered States, Twilight Zone: The Movie, Stripes... this man has definitely been around!
So nice that this is coming back. Sad that we have lost a few cast members along the way.
I still remember the episode of the JL show with Bobcat Goldwaithe. The addict who could only function properly when he was wasted. Funny, he starts off with 'I'm still alive!' I had occasionally wondered.
he did a play with Daniel Radcliff got a Tony.
@@dfangirl72 a lot of the Night Court cast has passed. Hope you're still sober, John.
One of my favorite shows as a kid.
I always figured Dan Fielding died of syphilis after losing his mind.
He is Dan the Man! Brings back memories of my life in the US.
Dan did seem to lose his mind, so that part was definitely true, but having Dan live on this new Night Court really works and Larroquette is still a great comedic actor with Dan even now.
Night Court is one of those shows that still makes me laugh out loud no matter how many times I have seen an episode - that whole cast was wonderful, but John and Harry were my favorites. I love that after 4 consecutive Emmy wins for his portrayal of Dan Fielding, John asked not to be nominated anymore while still playing him. 😀
He couldn’t be cooler if he tried
He was so sweet that way.
Night Court was the best!
The 10th Kingdom! ❤
I liked John 's show much better than Roseanne. I agree with his asssesment.
I like his voice and dictation. Not being from this country I admire people that have such strong command of the English language. He is so clear to understand when he speaks.
Great to see John still delivering the goods! Eager to see the retake of the night court series. 👍🏻
Gotta say, notice his vocabulary and speech. Very well spoken. Sad to see how vocabulary has degraded so much over time. Nowadays, 9 out of 10 guests can’t stop saying “like” every 2nd or 3rd word. 🤷🏻♂️
Kudos John! 👏🏻
Yes. Nowadays is another word that tweaks my nerves ...👋🤭😉
@@bethe192 😉😂
@@neoanderson7 😆👋Couldn' resist, buddy. Good day to you! 😊 ( And I do agree with everything you said. 😉)
@@bethe192 I admit, you made me laugh on that reply. Kudos to you! 😉👏🏻😂
RIP Markie Post, she was so pretty with her blonde mullet, miss the 1980s best decade.
Just me or would he be perfectly cast as Billy Eichner's dad in something?!?
Glad Seth brought up The John Larroquette Show. That first season was fantastic.
And absolutely agree with John that it would have had a longer run if it had debuted 10 or 15 years later.
Hadn’t planned to watch the reboot, but I’m all in if Larroquette is there!
Do yourself a FAVOR and DON'T watch the reboot...it's BEYOND TERRIBLE
check it out, it aint bad. Let it grow on ya
Too bad that Meyers didn't dig a little deeper and get Larroquette to admit he did the narration in TCM in exchange for a bag of weed. It's true.
Thank you for returning, John!!! I watched "Night Court" when it was prime-time! I LOVED IT!!! I have the entire series on studio DVDs!!! This is a new version, but I'm sure, with John Larroquette, it WILL be one great show!!! I loved ALL the characters on the show...and greatly miss the ones who are no longer with us.
The new version ISN'T funny on any level
Stripes. "They took it to get it washed?" The best.
Early Dan Fielding……
"This is a Dark Ride"
Loved the JL Show. Very underrated. And yes, I agree it could have had a much better title. Might have lasted longer, too.
I loved that sign so much, I made one for myself.
I find it odd that of all the shows John has done, nobody seems to remember his stint on Black Sheep Squadron with Robert Conrad. A show based on the exploits of WWII pilot Pappy Boyington.
I loved John when he played in the West Wing his brief stint as a Lawyer carrying around a cricket bat was hilarious with Emily Proctor
I love him in the Practice. With that role he proved he could be just as adept at villainy as he is at comedy.
he was SO GOOD as that lawyer on Night Court... it was a fun show overall - all the characters worked well together...
Truth be told, when I saw the first modern Night Court trailer, I thought, "Is that John Larroquette? I thought he was dead." 😳🤷
Yeah me too.... even remember how touched I was about it.... GAWD dangit. I think we jumped or mandella effected ourselves ...
@@claudegrenier3180 Indeed. You are probably correct.
I'm glad he's back. He was great in the original series. It'll be great to see his character again.👍👍
The new version is NOT the original series
I loved John Larroquette in The Night Court! That show was hilarious! But I wish you had asked him about The 10th Kingdom! I absolutely loved him in that miniseries! My daughter & I often rewatch it! It’s such a good story!
I had such a crush on him back in 1987. It's never really gone away, to be honest. It's wild to me that my favorite actors are at the, "yes, I am still alive, and I'm also surprised," stage of their lives!
There is no Saul without Dan imho.
Looking forward to the reboot! I've always loved John Larroquette.
Always made me laugh with his role in STRIPES
I remember him from the 10th Kingdom
OMFG... I thought I was the only person who remembered that mini series!!!! I still have the dual set VHS of that laying around somewhere!!!
@@BigLousClubhouse same, i try to watch it once every few years. I youtubed it and its all on there in 6 parts. Such fond memories of this, a much simpler and better time
When I was a little girl, I watch reruns of threes company and I saw him playing a police officer, and I said, “Oh my gosh, Dan was a cop!!!” Hahaha
I love him so much, he’s such a legend. I wanted to marry him when I grew up… my husband resembles him quite a bit ;)
The show is actually really great. No preaching, it's damn funny and it feels like the old series.
He was also quite underrated in the first season of Blood & Treasure. 🙂
John Larroquette won the Emmy award so many times for best actor they could have named it after him in the late 80s early 90s.
Night Court was and is my favorite Show ever, I had to be home when it came on …..OMG I still Love 💕 the Best T.V. show ever made!! and Harry’s Daughter looks just like her Dad. God Bless you Harry Anderson, R.I.P. you are so Loved ❤
Man, its really good to see this guy!
I go back to Baa Baa Black Sheep, love horror movies, and JUST found out he was the narration?!?
So cool.
I was wondering if I was the only person who remembered he was on Black Sheep Squadron
I just did a rewatch of Night Court on Freevee back in November. It still holds up, and in some ways, was a much smarter show than I think people gave it credit for. I think what shocked me the most during my rewatch was how physical John was in his role as Dan Fielding. He really threw his whole body into the part and took a lot more falls than I remembered.
I'm in the middle of a rewatch and totally agree. I hadn't watched the original series in decades and didn't know if the humor would hold up. With some exceptions, it absolutely does. I had just been thinking that it's actually a better show than I remembered. I'm so glad to see John back as Dan.
The human pretzel! 😍 Wow!
I could care less about most actors and the parts they play but I really like John Larroquette, especially The John Larroquette Show.
I loved 'Night Court' with the original cast.
Watched the re-make last night. It just wasn't funny.
I watched Night Court religiously. I can't wait to see this new one. I wish we had more of the original actors but Melissa Rauch is awesome and I can see how she and Dan would play so well off of each other.
He was also victim #1 in Die Hard 1 at Nakatomi, a Klingon in Search for Spock.
Love night court!
When asked about his earlier work I thought there might be a Black Sheep Squadron name drop, or Baa Baa Black Sheep as I believe it was originally titled.
John is one of my favorite people. My life was blessed to have intersected with his career
They didn’t mention anything about Markie Post passing away! RIP Markie!
One of my favorite actors…truly one of a kind!
This will suck so bad it will make Harry Anderson come back from the grave and kick the writers and producers in the face.
This is the best thing to happen to sitcoms since "Big Bang Theory.":)
I put John Larroquette right there with John Ritter for my favorite T.V. comedy actors.
Court? At night? I’m laughing already
I was so, so crazy for John Larroquette! Still am. I remember just adoring him in Blind Date! I watch it every time it is on. He is the best thing of this reboot of Night Court. I do wish he were still prosecutor though. Dan Fielding was one of the greatest characters in tv history, and the way John navigated Dan's grasp of law - it just was perfect. I watched JL Show as well, and I wish I could find that on dvd!
The worst thing about the new Night Court is they have ditched the original show's use of a studio audience for a laugh track. In 2023, no show should be using fake laughter. Either use real people or have nothing at all. We know when something is or isn't funny. We don't need to be prodded artificially.
Umm… I hate to break it to you… live audiences are told how to react with signs, and always have been. Laugh, Big Laugh, sad sigh, etc. and laugh tracks are modeled perfectly using layers of sound.
That said,some shows benefit from laugh tracks, and some don’t. Friends is an example of a well done laugh track.
I worked as an extra on the pilot of the new Night Court. The clip they used was from that episode. I was in the court room when they shot it. We had a live audience. No laugh track.
