We were promised the return of The Wheelers in Night Court season 3, and it’s finally happening. Kate Micucci will return as Carol Ann Wheeler, and she talked with us about that return and what to expect.

The Wheelers have been a beloved part of the Night Court universe from the original series. While Brent Spiner and Annie O’Donnell returned to reprise their roles, Keri Houlihan didn’t. Instead, The Big Bang Theory’s Kate Micucci stepped into the role, proving that Carol Ann is just as weird and wacky as her parents.

It’s not easy coming into a revival as an already-introduced character, so we talked about stepping into the role and what to expect in Night Court season 3, episode 13.

Hidden Remote: Let’s jump straight in to chat about the reception of Carol Ann Wheeler in Night Court.

Actor Brent Spiner's most visible acting role was probably Data, the android lieutenant commander on "Star Trek: The Next Generation." As Data, Spiner appeared in 176 episodes of "Next Generation," in the four spin-off movies, and in five episodes of "Star Trek: Picard." He also appeared on "Picard" as a new amalgam android character, as well as multiple members of the Soong family throughout various "Star Trek" shows. For an actor who was initially cast as an emotionless being, Spiner certainly played some of the franchise's more dramatic characters. 

Spiner has always expressed a little ambivalence toward Data. While he certainly appreciates the money and fame brought to him by the role, Spiner felt that "Star Trek" might have robbed him of the ability to play a wide variety of parts. He feared casting agents would look at him and be unable to look past his "Star Trek" android.
