Night Court - John Larroquette as Dan Fielding

[@mibeatleman6767]

John Larroquette won four Emmys playing Dan Fielding, one of the funniest characters ever on TV.

[@jimgentry1011]

John could've won more, but he withdrew his name after four. Very cool dude

So she dragged me downstairs and we sat in front of the TV. She scrolled for a bit before stumbling on Night Court and said “I loved this show when I was a kid.” I wanted to be a lawyer at the time and had a very dark sense of humor so she immediately put it on and said “you’ll love Dan.” My mom was always right, and I did of course immediately love Dan.
