Big Bang’s Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch Reunite, Channel Blossom and Six on NBC’s Night Court — See Photos
Melissa Rauch channels her inner Six, opposite TV’s Blossom, in the following first-look photos from the Jan. 14 episode of Night Court.
As previously reported, the NBC sitcom revival is reuniting Rauch with Big Bang Theory co-star Mayim Bialik, who will appear as a heightened version of herself. Bialik turns up as a defendant and befriends Judge Abby Stone — a huge fan of her star-making turn in the aforementioned ’90s sitcom, Blossom. (They even recreate Bialik and Jenna von Oÿ’s iconic pose from Blossom’s main title sequence!) Alas, “things take a turn when Abby learns that Mayim is stalking her,” according to the official logline.

Bialik tells Entertainment Weekly that the episode — titled “Mayim Worst Enemy” — features “meta references” to Big Bang, which means the series takes place in a world where both Abby and Rauch exist. Sorta like how Big Bang referenced Bialik in its first season, then cast Bialik as Amy Farrah Fowler.
This marks Night Court’s second Big Bang reunion in as many seasons, following Kunal Nayyar’s Season 2 guest stint as a world-renowned fashion designer named Martini Toddwallis. It also marks a reunion for Bialik and Rauch’s Night Court co-star, John Larroquette, having previously played his daughter Rachel in three episodes of The John Larroquette Show.
