Exploring Night Court Season 2: Nyambi Nyambi Discusses New Dynamics and Abby-Wyatt Romance Possibilities

When NBC's Night Court premiered in 2023, the lead cast included Melissa Rauch, India de Beaufort, Kapil Talwalkar, Lacretta, and John Larroquette, reviving Reinhold Weege's original series. However, before the second season, Talwalkar's character, Neil Valluri, was written off due to creative changes. Nyambi Nyambi stepped in to play Wyatt Shaw, the court clerk, described as "quick-witted and sarcastic," a recently divorced father of two girls.

Nyambi Nyambi is no stranger to comedy, having appeared in over 100 episodes of the popular CBS sitcom, Mike & Molly. He is also recognized for his role as Jay Dipersia in The Good Fight, which concluded in 2022 after six seasons. In addition to his work on Night Court, Nyambi has been involved in projects like Titans and In Her Name. He also made appearances in two episodes of NBC's Blindspot.

Screen Rant recently caught up with Nyambi Nyambi to chat about his exciting experience filming in front of a live audience and his eagerness to explore Wyatt's personal life in upcoming Night Court episodes.

Screen Rant: You just joined the cast, so how has it been working with everyone and jumping into this environment?

Working with everyone has been amazing. I felt so welcomed and supported right from the start. It was like hitting the ground running, trying to come up with a joke about it, but that's really how it felt. Everyone was incredibly nice and generous, making me feel at home since day one.

Have you ever filmed in front of a live audience before, or is this your first time?

Nyambi Nyambi: My first major project was the sitcom Mike & Molly, where I had the pleasure of working with talented actors like Melissa McCarthy, Billy Gardell, and many more. We filmed in front of a live audience for six years, which was an incredible experience. After seven years away from live audiences, it was a bit nerve-wracking at first, but I quickly got the hang of it. Getting immediate laughter and feedback from the audience is such a rewarding feeling.

I really admire the depth of your character's backstory. He's a dad of two girls who recently went through a divorce. While the show mainly focuses on the court scenes, I'm curious to know what you envision for Wyatt's personal life outside of work.

Nyambi Nyambi: I'm always on top of things in court, detail-oriented and organized. But at home, it's a different story. With two little girls to take care of, co-parenting, and juggling law school and various jobs, my home life can be chaotic. I'd love to see how my house reflects this contrast. I may seem cool, but I bet my house is a mess. It would be interesting to see.

My favorite episode this season was Comic Con, especially for Wyatt's character development. Which episode was your favorite to film?

Nyambi Nyambi: I have two favorite moments. The first one is going to Comic Con because I'm a huge fan. I attend Comic Cons every year, such as San Diego Comic Con, New York Comic Con, Emerald City Con, Long Beach Comic Expo, and Long Beach Comic Con. Although I used to go as a fan, it was amazing to finally cosplay as Morpheus and have some Morpheus fun. The second favorite moment is the episode with Kunal. I really enjoy props, so when I was given a headset to use and try to take charge of a room with it, it was a blast.

It may be a little early to tell, but there was an episode earlier in the season where Abby and Wyatt connect. Your onscreen chemistry is great, so I'm curious if you can see their relationship developing romantically, or if that's something you'd like to see happen.
