Warning: Contains SPOILERS for the Night Court season 3 finale.

The two-part finale of Night Court season 3 aired Tuesday, May 6 on NBC, featuring various notable guest stars. "Funnest Judge In The City" sees Marsha Warfield reprise her long-running role as Roz, while Michael Urie is introduced as the episode's titular character, Toby Nulman. The judge may appear fun, but it doesn't take long for his true colors to show. Abby catches on to his plan to take over the courthouse, even sabotaging her prank and faking an injury.

Jake has no choice but to suspend his former girlfriend, which prompts her to expose Nulman's evil scheme. In a twist ending, the HR rep catches him confessing on Julianne's ring camera. Nulman storms out, leaving Abby and Jake to celebrate their victory. While it wasn't his intention, the fun judge may have done the exes a solid, as they appear closer than ever to reconciling. (If we discount part 2's major cliffhanger with Simon Helberg.)

I chatted with Michael Urie about filming his own stunt in front of a live audience, Judge Nulman's feud with Abby, and his hopes to return to Night Court (pending a season 4 renewal).

Nulman Dreams Of Being The Next Judge Judy

"He's an ambitious guy. I think he dreams of being a Judge Judy or having a TV show."

ScreenRant: What's the funnest thing about playing the funnest judge in New York City?

Michael Urie: Well, when you're playing the funnest judge in New York, you get a lot of license to enjoy yourself, and so I definitely did, but for me, it was doing the stunt. I did the stunt, and then they did the stunt with a stuntman, but they used me. Which means that I pulled it off! That was very exciting. The stunt guy was great.

He did an amazing job, and he definitely was more violent when he did it, but I guess seeing my face was really satisfying. I grew up watching Night Court. As a kid, I loved this show. My parents let me stay up late for this show, and I loved the crazy stuff that would happen, the Madcap antics. And so to get to do the show was a real dream, but to get to have a stunt was the real feather in my cap.

I was going to ask you about that because you filmed in front of a live studio audience. How was doing a stunt in that environment?

Michael Urie: I do a lot of theater, and I'm always trying to find ways to fall down or do something crazy. I actually really like that. I love the energy of the audience. They have great crowds at Night Court. There's a really exciting moment when the audience comes in, and it happens in other multi-cam shows too, and in the theater, especially, where you've spent all this time with the material.

You rehearse all week on a multi-cam show, or you rehearse for four weeks in the theater and put the show up, and there's a moment when you realize, "Oh, these people don't know what's going to happen." We all know because we've been doing it all week. The crew knows.

They've watched it all week. But the audience doesn't know, and it's actually quite moving. And even on something that's silly like Night Court, it's exciting to know. They don't know the joke, they don't know the stunt, they don't know what's coming. They don't know the twists of the story, and to give that to them is very exciting.

Do you think Nulman just woke up one day and said, "I'm not just going to be a judge, I'm going to be a fun judge"?

Michael Urie: He's an ambitious guy. I think he dreams of being a Judge Judy or having a TV show. He has stars in his eyes. I think, for him, it was a natural fit to make his courtroom fun, treat it like a show, and go all the way to the top. And what he really wants is those crazy cases at Night Court. He wants in on the real crazy New York criminals.

Urie Could See His Character Returning To Night Court

"I could also see him breaking the law and having to come before Abby and be sentenced by Abby."

I found it funny that Nulman actually did some good. He got Abby and Jake in the same room together, and they've clearly been needing to talk.

Michael Urie: Evil plan turned matchmaker. That's not really what he got into it for, but if love happens, it happens.

It could be his next career if "Fun Judge" doesn't work out.

Michael Urie: The Funnest Matchmaker in New York.

Nulman seems like a vengeful person. Is there a scenario where you could see him coming back to take over Abby's court?

Michael Urie: Oh, a thousand percent. I could also see him breaking the law and having to come before Abby and be sentenced by Abby. I would love to go back. I had the most wonderful time, so I hope that they have me back and that they come up with another fun, hilarious stunt for me to do.

It was a real blast, and it's such a nice group of people. The cast is so lovely, and the writers are terrific. It shoots at Warner Brothers, and the stage is right next-door to where I shoot Shrinking. I feel very at home when I go there.

You didn't have any scenes with Marsha Warfield, but did you get to interact with her as a fan of the original show?

Michael Urie: I got to fangirl over Marsha a little bit, and of course, John too. It was so cool to see them in action and see them together. It was really touching. I didn't get any scenes with them, so that's why I have to come back! I would love to see how Dan Fielding reacts to the Funnest Judge in New York. Their opposite energies would be, I think, really funny together.
