Mayim Bialikplace for guests of Melissa Rauchis Night court includes a very big nod to their time Big Bang Theory.
“It wasn’t in the first draft of the script, but it was in the second draft. I just thought it was a really sweet nod,” Bialik, 49, exclusively said Us Weekly about how Night court find a way for her and Rauch, 44, to name a few Big Bang Theory.
During the Tuesday, January 14, episode of the NBC series, Bialik played an exaggerated version of herself and mentioned her past sitcom roles in conversation with Rauch’s character, Abby.
“You know, I’ve actually done a lot of things besides that Blossom. Call me Kat and Big Bang TheoryBialik said.
Rauch replied, “You were in it? I only remember the girl with the high voice. She was great.
Bialik was thrilled by the cheeky approach to her on-screen encounter with Rauch. “Hopefully, that’s part of the fun of comedy and the fun of being in this space where everything is allowed,” she added. “That’s the fun of soap operas.”

The duo share screen on Night court after originally being costars of Big Bang Theory. The CBS sitcom, which aired from 2007 to 2019, starred Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, Johnny Galecki, Simon Helberg, Kunal NayyarBialik and Rauch as a group of friends made up of scientists and their significant others.
after Big Bang Theory ended, Bialik reunited with Parsons, 51 episode of Young Sheldon and now he did the same with Rauch.
“To think how long it’s been since then Big Bang Theory over, it was a case of feeling like not much time had passed. Because we worked together for almost a decade, and you learn a lot from the guy’s rhythm and a lot of his tendencies as a comedian,” the actress told Us . “I know how her brain works and she knows how my brain works. We have to create fun and have reactions that maybe weren’t written in the script. These are things she and I are used to doing together. It’s playful that way.”
Bialik continued, “I know acting is a job, but it’s also a craft. Like when you think about what it’s like to be in a school play, it’s kind of like that. It just seems like there are a lot of cameras. So you really have a sense of play and creativity going on. it’s definitely easy for us because we’ve been doing it together for so long.”
Night Court also gathered Bialik with John Larroquette after they were skinny on The John Larroquette Show in the 90s.
“It was really wonderful to work with John again. But there’s also a certain amount of – I don’t want to say pressure – but I put pressure on myself because I want to be professional. I worked on Call me Kat for three years, but I haven’t worked on a regular sitcom right now,” she noted. “It’s a bit of wanting to do my best as a comedian and make sure I don’t forget my lines.”
Bialik said there was “definite fear” on the show, noting, “If I mess up my line, I don’t want John to think I’m unprofessional, which he probably wouldn’t. There’s definitely a bit of that. … It was just a great ensemble to be a part of, and that’s what I missed being a part of a group of people doing comedy like that.”
New episodes of Night court air on NBC on Tuesdays at 8:30pm ET and are available to stream on Peacock the following day.
