The original "Night Court" run saw John Larroquette’s Dan Fielding serving as one of the pre-eminent ladies' men of ‘80s primetime TV. The NBC series revival, which is currently crushing much of its competition on the 2023 schedule, naturally had to make some modernization changes in order to keep the show relevant for today's audience. Thanks to a natural story device, combined with the Emmy-winning actor's own input, evolving his character wasn't too difficult, and Larroquette was only too happy to avoid revisiting Dan’s serial dating days.
In an interview with Deadline, the legacy "Night Court" cast member explained how his personal feelings combined with the formula of the show led to an easy adjustment for the character. John Larroquette explained his reasoning for Dan Fielding keeping his metaphorical pants on.
