A sophisticated, savvy woman and accomplished attorney who also knows how to make a shank out of a spoon, she\u2019ll keep everyone in the courthouse on their toes. Donna \u201cGurgs\u201d Gurganous (Lacretta) is the night court\u2019s sharp-witted bailiff. Gurgs takes her job very seriously and is fiercely protective of her night court colleagues. Wyatt Shaw (Nyambi Nyambi) is the court\u2019s clerk. He\u2019s a jack of all trades and devoted single dad trying to make it all work as a law student at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>From executive producer and writer Dan Rubin (\u201cUnbreakable Kimmy Schmidt\u201d), \u201cNight Court\u201d is based on the original hit series that ran for nine seasons on NBC.
