Landing a part on a popular sitcom that lasts for 12 seasons and 279 episodes is a stroke of luck most actors will never experience. Following that by starring in a new comedy that becomes its network's biggest premiere in a half decade is a feat that "Night Court" star Melissa Rauch says she can't get over.
"In this business, I feel like I've set myself up after some years of rejection to just expect the worst and hope for the best," Rauch told Salon a week after the ratings came in for NBC's revival of the beloved '80s classic, just days before its no-brainer second season renewal. "We were just all very, very pleasantly, pleasantly surprised."
