‘Night Court's' Wendie Malick Plans To Keep Making People Laugh, Indefinitely
'My dance card is pretty full right now,' says Wendie Malick, really underreporting the truth. But, she says she's perfectly happy with her seemingly overloaded schedule. Currently, she's starring as attorney Julianne Walters in Night Court, as Harrison Ford's love interest in Shrinking, and as the owner of a fried chicken restaurant in the family drama, The Chicken Sisters. Previously, she's appeared in numerous series, including Young Sheldon, Frasier, and American Housewife. She was a lead cast member for seven seasons on Just Shoot Me and for six seasons on Hot in Cleveland. Malick has received four Cable Ace Awards for her role in HBO's groundbreaking comedy Dream On and garnered a Golden Globe and two Emmy Award nominations for her work on Just Shoot Me! All of this, and Malick, somewhat humbly, still refers to herself as a 'character actress.' 'You know, the work comes in waves, like right now. This has been an insane year for me, where I was doing two and three shows at the same time, which is very unusual, particularly in this in this landscape that we're in now, but very grateful for it,' she says. Malick admits that working in comedy delights her, because, 'When they give me a character like Julianne, who's a little bit off in some way, I'm thrilled because it's just a juicy, juicy bag of tricks that I get to pull from.' While she's also taken on several dramatic roles, Malick says that, 'My preference is that I don't like things to be too dry and straight. It's always more interesting to find the foibles and neuroses in a character because it gives me a lot more leeway as a comedian.' Using this thought process, she explains her take on her Night Court character, an ex-con who is now an attorney. 'Julianne is a peculiar person. I had to sort of figure out a backstory for her that would help me understand how she could have this complete bouquet of vastly different emotions. At various times, she goes from the way left all the way over to the right. And, it's really helpful now that they're starting to write a little about her background into the show, so that I can fill in the blanks and figure out why she's the way she is.' Malick does like the fact that Julianne is part of a second chance initiative sponsored and overseen by court's leader, Judge Abby Stone, played by Melissa Rauch. 'There's something really lovely about that. It makes it feel like nothing is impossible to overcome and I like that.' Much of Malick's work on Night Court involves sparring with her ex-lover-turned-co-worker, Dan Felding, played by John Laroquette. Of their on-screen relationship, she says, 'I think we have good dynamic, and one where, it's a 'will they or won't they' kind of have chemistry. However,' she emphasizes, 'We realize we're toxic in a relationship together, and it's probably not healthy, so we'll just fight each other in the courtroom.' Speaking about Larroquette, she says, 'I'd never worked with him before, and have always really admired him as an actor, so it's really nice to have a partner like him, one who's just so good at what he does. I really enjoy every scene we have together.' Now at an age when many people scale back on working, Malick says that she's not planning on taking her foot off the gas anytime soon, citing what she's learned from someone she respects tremendously. 'I take my lead from Betty White. She started her third act when she was 60, and I turned 60 when I worked with her [on Hot in Cleveland]. At the time I thought, 'wow, that is just amazing. She loves what she does. She has no reason to retire.' I feel the same way. I love what I do, and I have a great life outside of acting, but I always want this to be a part of it, so I'm in no hurry to retire.' She quickly adds, 'I think it's really because I having the opportunity to go to a set and be with my fellow actors and tell stories, and that's what I feel like I was designed to do. So no, I don't have any plans to stop.' Malick proves the adage that 'with age comes wisdom' as she imparts one last thought, saying, 'I think one of the beauties of getting older for me is appreciating how precious every day is, and I don't want to squander any of them. So every morning ritual by saying, 'lead with your heart, be love in the room.' If everyone did that, I think everything would be better.' 'Night Court' airs Tuesdays at 8:30e/p on NBC, and is available for streaming on Peacock.

New Series Include Peacock Comedy Laid, Sky Original Series Small Town, Big Story, Plus Hallmark Channel's The Chicken Sisters and Small Town Setup This Spring Will Also See the Season Finales of The Way Home, Season 3 and Based on a True Story, Season 2 Stream W Network on STACKTV For additional photography and press kit material visit: To share this release socially visit: TORONTO, March 10, 2025 /CNW/ - This spring, W Network, a Corus Entertainment top 10 specialty network*, is blooming with freshly picked new series featuring star-studded performances, humour and heart. This season, W Network ushers in new comedies such as Laid and Small Town, Big Story as well as Hallmark's family drama The Chicken Sisters and Hallmark's unscripted series Small Town Setup. All series are available to stream on STACKTV. First to spring onto the schedule is Peacock's twisted romantic comedy, Laid, starring Academy Award®-nominee Stephanie Hsu and Zosia Mamet. Premiering on Monday, March 24 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, a woman (Hsu) finds out her former lovers are dying in unusual ways and must go back through her sex timeline to confront her past in order to move forward. Laid is a dark rom-com where the answer to "why can't I find love, is there something wrong with me?" is a resounding "Yes. There is. The problem is definitely you." Up next is the dramatic comedy Small Town, Big Story premiering Thursday, March 27 at 9 p.m. ET/PT. Created and directed by Emmy® Award winner Chris O'Dowd (Moone Boy), the series stars Emmy® nominee Christina Hendricks (Good Girls, Mad Men) and BAFTA award-winner Paddy Considine (House of the Dragon, The World's End), and looks at the untold chaos caused when a big budget Hollywood production rolls into a small, rural Irish town. Wendy Patterson (Hendricks) is a local girl who found success as a TV producer in Los Angeles, returns to her hometown in Ireland after over 20 years, having left under something of a cloud. Back in the chaotic microcosm of Drumbán, this time with a film crew in tow, Wendy is caught in between her past and her epic new production. Séamus Proctor (Considine) is the local doctor and pillar of the community. He has a neat and well-ordered life, or at least he thinks he does. Soon, he will find himself in the eye of a storm as a celluloid circus descends on the town, threatening to shine a spotlight on a secret he's been harbouring for ages. On Sunday, March 30 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, W Network serves up new Hallmark series, The Chicken Sisters, based on the New York Times bestseller and Reese's Book Club selection of the same name by KJ Dell'Antonia. Created for television and executive produced by Annie Mebane (Shrinking, Atypical, The Goldbergs), the eight-episode series is a family drama dipped in southern charm and served up with a saucy side of romance. The setting is the fictional town of Merinac, where a generations-old rift between dueling fried chicken restaurants – Mimi's and Frannie's – has left the founders' families fractured and the locals taking sides. When the popular cooking competition show Ultimate Kitchen Clash comes to town, it could be the recipe for ending this feud once and for all. But things are fixing to heat up both inside and outside of the kitchen as the reality show spotlight causes sparks to fly as secrets are spilled and feathers get ruffled. The series boasts an impressive cast, including Schuyler Fisk (Sam & Kate), Genevieve Angelson (The Handmaid's Tale), Lea Thompson (Back to the Future) and Wendie Malick (Just Shoot Me!) as the women at the heart of the restaurant rivalry. James Kot (Virgin River), Rukiya Bernard (Yellowjackets), Ektor Rivera (Groundswell) and Jake Foy (Ride) round out the supporting cast. Emmy® Award-winning actress Margo Martindale (Justified) lends her voice as the nearly omniscient narrator, who serves up history and offers country fried context the way only the best town gossip can. Following the premiere of The Chicken Sisters on March 30, Small Town Setup debuting at 9 p.m. ET/PT, explores the unique charm of small-town America and its welcoming community in this heartwarming unscripted, romantic comedy docu-style dating series, hosted by Ashley Williams. In each episode, viewers meet different hometown parents with a big problem – their successful adult child is living far away in a big city – and is still single. The couple gathers their neighbours and asks for help to find a match for them to go out with. Now, the entire community is on the hunt to find the best three daters for the "city single" to go on dates with, in the hope that they will fall in love, move back home and live happily ever after. This spring will also see the Season 3 finale of the multi-generational family drama and top 5 specialty entertainment program** The Way Home on Sunday, March 16 at 9 p.m. ET/PT and the Season 2 finale of the dark comedic thriller Based on a True Story on Monday, March 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
