TBBT Melissa Rauch's Husband Helped Her Build Chemistry With Kunal Nayyar on Night Court
The Night Court EP encouraged his star wife to 'get into it' with her former co-star.
Summary
- TBBT's Kunal Nayyar and Melissa Rauch will reunite in the upcoming episode of Night Court.
- Melissa Rauch was encouraged by her husband to be more passionate in her portrayal of a romance with Kunal Nayyar's character in episode 7.
- This is the first time the two actors have worked together since The Big Bang Theory.
Night Court debuted on NBC in 1984 and ran for an impressive nine seasons until 1992, becoming one of the network's hit shows. In 2023, the sitcom was rebooted with Melissa Rauch of The Big Bang Theory fame playing the lead role. The new iteration of Night Court proved to be a success and was quickly picked up for a second season, which is now airing on NBC.
The upcoming seventh episode of Season 2 is highly anticipated by viewers thanks to its guest star, Kunal Nayyar, who was Melissa Rauch's co-star on TBBT.
Passionate Reunion
Shy and awkward, Raj Koothrappali has always been one of the show's most beloved characters. And his selective mutism (inability to talk to women unless drunk) may have been the main reason viewers were so intrigued by his love life. For example, many fans rooted for Raj in his attempts to seduce Bernadette.
While Raj wasn't successful on TBBT, Kunal Nayyar is about to have a passionate affair with Melissa Rauch on NBC's revival of Night Court, and apparently, Rauch's husband helped the actress add more passion to the relationship.
Melissa Rauch on Her Husband's Involvement in the On-Screen Romance
'My husband is an executive producer on the show, too. He loves Kunal as much as I do. And he has zero ego about me having any sort of romance on screen. He's wonderful at keeping it separate to the point that we were doing the romantic, intimate scene, and we did a take, and I kissed him [Kunal], and he [my husband] came up to me after it and was like, "You know, you should really get into it more. Go for it! Go for it! Look at his complexion, stroke his face! Go for it!"' the Night Court star revealed in a recent interview.
Working with Kunal Nayyar was satisfying for the actress for another reason. It was her first workplace reunion since TBBT.
'It was truly a dream come true. We haven't been on set together since Big Bang ended. It was just so special. He is one of the greatest-greatest people in the world,' Melissa Rauch said of the upcoming episode of Night Court guest-starring Nayyar.
Hopefully, episode 7 of Night Court will be as exciting as it looks. It will premiere on February 6.
