My favorite sitcom of all time. Dan was such a great character. A loveable, despised lothario with a marshmellow heart underneath the layer of sleaze.. So many great scenes with Dan Dan Fielding.
So glad that John came back to his iconic Emmy winning role as the legendary lawyer Dan fielding this year congratulations to making a badass comeback happy 2023 new year night court
@K Dubbs That's why I'm so grateful i grew up when I did. Things weren't perfect but a helluva lot better than what we're in now. Back then comedy was comedy. Night Court, All in the Family, Sanford and Son, In Living Color, Married with Children etc would not be made today.
I remember one Christmas Episode in which Dan chewed out some toy company CEO for taking back a bunch of toys from poor kids. At the end of his tirade Dan told the guy, "My only wish is that you knew me better so you could truly appreciate the depth of this insult." Always thought of that as one of Dan's best moments and I can't find that clip.
the one scene that always gets me is when Dan is in the hospital and he confesses that he is very lonely and doesnt understand why. "I dont have a life harry....I have a lifestyle."
@@thegameshowguy1 yes! Though I can't choose a fav on Barney Miller seasons 3 through 8 because it's one of the most perfect ensembles in television history.
@@kendallrivers1119 Barney Miller was an amazing show from the 70's and 80's. Almost all the cast members were nominated for an Emmy.

After winning 4 consecutive Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Emmys, John took himself out of the running as he had nothing left to prove. That's Legend status.
Great list👏, but would add Jay Pritchett, not neccessarily as the greatest but only because I grew up on MWC and like to watch Modern Family as Al Bundy finally having made it in life, successful, hot younger wife etc,, every now and then you still see a little bit of Al sneak out in Jay!!Lol 👍👍😂 (and I'd throw in Arthur Carlson & Dr Johnny Fever in the mix too!!) Cheers.
@@bryankautz826 Yeah I hate thst MF never really referenced MWC it was a waste for David to be on and not have one scene with Ed, I mean come on! But oh man Dr. Johnny Fever and Mr. Carlson are riots! Lol I also love my guys Venus Flytrap and Herb Tarlek. WKRP is overlooked imo.
Now it's seven Gi-reen! Holy shit! It's a fuckin' invasion! Sound general quarters! Now hear this! Shitheads on the poop deck. Man your battle stations, MAN, YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!!!!
Harry Anderson may be the star of NIGHT COURT but, John Larroquettee really stole the show as slezy DAN FIELDING.No wonder how won four Emmys for the role.He deserved it.
These seven people and those who will also hit that dislike button clearly either wish they were Dan or want to be getting it on with him. Jealousy, folks, plain and simple. Jealousy.
To think Larroquette asked the Emmy committee to not consider him for future awards after winning 4 in a row. He had the unique ability to play a sleaze but at the same time a lovable, something Charlie Sheen could not pull off.
Harry may have been the star of the show but Dan was the show. He is the reason why I watch the show. He's so damn funny and entertaining and hella crazy and epic and also sweet and caring.
I always thought it was a reality show, i'm english and only heard people talk about the theme tune but i pictured night court being a court tv type thing.
I got my mom hook on the show she couldn't stop laughing at Dan fielding some reason if you have bad day turn on nite court it was good show is on DVD I would go buy it
I haven't seen it but I'm concerned that they've watered him down for "today's audience" if they don't let Dan Fielding be Dan Fielding then it's not gonna be fun.
Awesome clip collection! Dan Fielding is one of my favorite TV characters of all time!! Of course, Night Court is one of my favorite sitcoms of all time too. The whole cast and crew were great, the writing and jokes were top notch, and they always make me laugh. Thanks for uploading this! :)
@@xaenon networks ruin shows, studios ruin movies and labels ruin albums After several decades they STILL haven't figured out that it's cost them billions
@@TheGuruStud And yet somehow they're the ones who have the money, not you, so I'd say it hasn't cost them by and large. It's easy to point at the things they get wrong without identifying what they get right. For example, some studio executive greenlit Night Court in the first place. I'm not going to deny that there are times when network/studio/label/game publisher interference has hindered the creative process and resulted in a bastardized work, but they just as often rein in the excesses of a creative type who doesn't know where to draw the line or finish a project.
He has gone on to do many other things.....he is even in The Librarians series as....shhh...don't tell................MERLIN..............yep the greatest wizard that ever lived and still alive in modern times
Hands down, one of my favorite TV characters. The guy was awesome, but he could be serious when he had to be. I remember a scene in one episode when he saved Roz by imitating her father's voice when she was having some kind of medical and/or psychological breakdown/emergency. I've never been able to find it on youtube, so I'm guessing no one ever posted that clip.
Roz was overdosing on insulin because she didn't want to cope with the fact that she had diabetes. The episode is called "Constitution" and it's a two-parter.
Doggieman1111 I'm a Canadian and John Larroquette was so much better than Jim Carrey to me Jim Carrey's comedy was lame and pretty pedestrian John Larroquette was so much better
@@scottkraft1062 ....... No kidding !!!!! No comparison at all....... Jim Carrey sucked like hell throughout his entire career. He never once even made me smile, let alone laugh. 🤢🤮
John Larroquette won four Emmys playing Dan Fielding, one of the funniest characters ever on TV.
John could've won more, but he withdrew his name after four. Very cool dude
I forgot how good his physical comedy was... his celebration dances. 😆
RIP Judge Harry.
And this is why he won four Emmys for this role.
And would probably have won more, but after winning the fourth, he asked not to be considered for any more. Truly a class act.
@@bigchevy80 If I had won it the year he asked to be removed, my speech would've started like this, "Well, first I thank John Larroquette for removing his name from this category."
He should have won an emmy for every season of the show.
4 in a row
No wonder this man won 4 Emmys for his performance. I tip my hat to you Mr. Larroquette.
My god I miss the 80/90s.
The show might've been an ensemble, but John Laroquette as Fielding made this show a classic.
fax
The ENTIRE cast EVERY season was hilarious 😂 😃 😄
@@vinnie7459 not the first two. Seasons 3-8 was when the cast was perfect as well as the whole show. That last season sucked though.
I agree, he made the show
Do u know English ?
I was working at Baskin Robbins in New Orleans when he walked in. Really nice guy.
When he dives behind the couch I laughed for a long time at that. Solid gold moment.
“Ur honor, THE KILLERS!!” 😂😂😂
0:20
Harry Stone and Dan Fielding are the best characters on Night Court
Harry is boring and corny
@Kenneth Boyer yeah bull was funnier than harry
Also for me Roz and Bull were breakouts but then Christine and Mack were great too.
Frankly, the whole cast was wonderful in turn. Even the Roz and Mack, who usually had the straight lines, were great.
Even though she passed away during the show's run, I liked the character of Selma.
no one else could ever take the place John Larroquette
The lady playing the stenographer needs a medal and an award for playing it straight and not cracking up.
I noticed that every time I watch this clip. She stayed focus on her job while Dan was celebrating right in front of her.
There was only one Dan Fielding. Now and forever. Loved this show.
He was having soooo much fun in that role.....
Raise your hand if you want this show on me TV✋✋✋✋
Laroquette: one of the best comedians ever!! I could watch this video over and over.
John Larroquette played the hell out of that role he put the other cast members to shame. Dan Fielding will always be the man.
My favorite episode was when the night court staff found out Dan Fielding's real name was Reinhold...
season 5 episode 12 called Dan the walking time bomb
C Michaels well as they say, great acting comes from the other guy, so let's not discount what the cast gave him, particularly harry anderson.
I remember the Reinhold gag. There was an earlier episode where the audience found out his real name before anyone else did.
Reinhold?
I love this show, John Laroquette is an amazing actor. They don't make shows like this anymore.
john larroquette made that show. selma diamond and marsha warfield were pretty funny.
My favorite sitcom of all time. Dan was such a great character. A loveable, despised lothario with a marshmellow heart underneath the layer of sleaze.. So many great scenes with Dan Dan Fielding.
He’s a sneaky pile of tweed.
Loved me some Dan Fielding!!😅
Tha' guy delivered Oscar Worthy performances 👍
As a matter of fact God bless everybody that still love this show & everybody that was a part of it 👏
So glad that John came back to his iconic Emmy winning role as the legendary lawyer Dan fielding this year congratulations to making a badass comeback happy 2023 new year night court
" Your Honor...........THE KILLERS !!!!!!!!!! "----Dan Fielding

Dan: if anything should happen between you & I I'm gonna lose something very important to me
Kitty: your job
Dan: if I'm lucky
So glad that they brought night court back from the dead but some of the friends and family members that have passed away will be missed rip
John Larroquette was the one reason I watched this show all the time the other Markie Post.
I actually used to want to see her in Playboy before night Court went off the air LOL

You've got me wanting to assemble a compilation of Dan Fielding's best moments as a decent human being. I'll see if I can't make that happen.
@@nnthayer please do! Those were fantastic scenes because they were rare. I also love when he stands up for Christine against his club leader.
the one scene that always gets me is when Dan is in the hospital and he confesses that he is very lonely and doesnt understand why. "I dont have a life harry....I have a lifestyle."
There's also the episode where Harry quit being a judge because a kid got shot but Dan gave him a wakeup call and Harry decided to stay a judge.
You’re looking for The Night Court Before Christmas. Season 6. Episode 9. Took me 5 minutes on IMDB.
Rip harry Anderson 😪
Dan Fielding & Al Bundy.....my two all time favorite TV characters. They simply RULED !

You Are a sneaky little pile of Tweed, aren't you, BOY?
"YES, SIR!"
Dan Fielding was Quagmire before there was a Quagmire!
+Shaun Hamilton before it was giggity giggity, it was, so what's your point ?
The difference is that Night Court was actually funny.
What is he doing now?
@@marywilliams9858 he's still acting. Recently, he was on an episode of The Twilight Zone playing the president.
Dan isn't nearly as scummy. lol
"FIIIIIEEEEEEELLLDDDIIIIINNNNGGG!!!" LOL
Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
"Yes your honor the defendant was arrested on broadway and 42nd for soliciting well ...SURPRISE SURPRISE"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The tiny fake gasp right before “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” really seals it for me. A perfect comedic moment 😂
Funny clips! 🤣🤣 That “Surprise, surprise, surprise!” is from Jim Nabors’ character Gomer Pyle on Gomer Pyle, USMC.”
Back when sitcoms were actually funny and good
Dan Fielding...the man who put the PIG in Pygmalion.
When Roz said she hadn't seen Dan this depressed since He found sand in his motion lotion one of the best lines ever
HAHAHAAAHAAA!!
Oh, they didn't show it but when the guy announces that if anyone moves, the court room clears in about two seconds. Pure gold!
I MISS THIS SHOOOOOOOOW.....😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
And the iconic Emmy winning legend John came back
That little dance number he does at 2:35 had me bent over with hands on my knees laughing so hard
Ur right! One of the best moments ever!
After winning 4 consecutive Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Emmys, John took himself out of the running as he had nothing left to prove. That's Legend status.
If there is a Mount Rushmore of TV comedy characters, I would put Fred Sanford, Al Bundy, Sheldon Cooper, and Dan Fielding!!!!!
tommyt1971 My fault...I've pressed the wrong button, I'm trying to fix it now. But I would also would add Frasier and Niles Crane
you would put those.....so would i...great choices
Sheldon? Lol I'd replace him with Alex P. Keaton or Archie Bunker or George Jefferson.
And Charlie Harper
THIS ONE HAS THE GUY ON "SON OF THE BEACH", TIMOTHY STACK, BEFORE IT WAS ON..
Greatest male comedy characters ever: Archie Bunker, Ralph Kramden, Dan Fielding, Al Bundy, George Jefferson, Fred Sanford and Alex P. Keaton.
Barney Fife also.
Great list👏, but would add Jay Pritchett, not neccessarily as the greatest but only because I grew up on MWC and like to watch Modern Family as Al Bundy finally having made it in life, successful, hot younger wife etc,, every now and then you still see a little bit of Al sneak out in Jay!!Lol 👍👍😂 (and I'd throw in Arthur Carlson & Dr Johnny Fever in the mix too!!)

To think Larroquette asked the Emmy committee to not consider him for future awards after winning 4 in a row. He had the unique ability to play a sleaze but at the same time a lovable, something Charlie Sheen could not pull off.
That's because Dan wasn't a one dimensional sleaze. There was a heart way deep down lol.
"Whaddya mean what did they look like? KILLERRRRRRRRRRRS!!!!!"
Shows in the 80's like Night Court, Cheer's and Soap are 1 of a,kind

Harry may have been the star of the show but Dan was the show. He is the reason why I watch the show. He's so damn funny and entertaining and hella crazy and epic and also sweet and caring.
Loved Dan Fielding!😊
He's my 2nd favorite comedic character of all-time!
John Larroquette cracks me up.

I always thought it was a reality show, i'm english and only heard people talk about the theme tune but i pictured night court being a court tv type thing.
THIS is Dan Fielding! NOT the watered-down version we got today!
I loved the "bombinmybriefcase" gag when I watched it as a kid.
Not only John won 4 Emmy awards he also won a tony award for best actor in a musical
John was the reason Night Court was awesome.
I'm surprised there was a courtroom left with all the scenery he chewed over the years, haha but he was hilarious as Dan
One of the best TV character ever. He's up there with Phil Fish.
They left out my favorite, where Dan says Ina high pitched voice-"I sold my soul to the devil!"
And right after that, Mack reveals it was all a trick, and Dan goes, "You? ........ *YOU*!!!!"
Yea, that was funny!😂😂😂😂
I got my mom hook on the show she couldn't stop laughing at Dan fielding some reason if you have bad day turn on nite court it was good show is on DVD I would go buy it
it's on dvd for some years now
