NBC’s ‘Night Court’ Ups Nyambi Nyambi To Series Regular

Fans of NBC‘s Night Court will be seeing a lot more of Nyambi Nyambi (The Good Fight, Mike & Molly), who has been upped to a series regular starting February 6. The news arrives after he appeared in the hit reboot as a guest star in last week’s episode.

Nyambi portrays Wyatt Shaw, the court’s new quick-witted and sarcastic clerk who has seen it all. As a recently divorced, overprotective father of two young girls, he’s determined to make sure his daughters see way less than he did.

Night Court, a reboot of the original series of the same name that premiered in the 80s, follows Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch), the daughter of the late Harry Stone, as she follows in her father’s footsteps presiding over the night shift of a Manhattan arraignment court. Throughout Season 1, she tries to bring order to its crew of oddballs and cynics, most notably former night court prosecutor Dan Fielding (John Laroquette).

The series airs Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. on NBC.

Variety was first to report the promotion.
