Night Court

I've been searching now for months trying to find this bit of trivia about the TV series: Night Court. If anyone remembers, there was a particular, distinctive, laugh that came from the studio audience; it was also added into the end credits of the show after "Starry Night Productions" Night Court Opening / Closing Themes. If I remember correctly, this person was a relative of someone who worked on the show; and that's why they were there every week during filming. Does anyone know who it was? Thanks in advance.

If you search for "Starry Night Productions" (the vanity card shown) and "Chuck Weege", you get plenty of hits. I found an interview with Tom Reeder about the show in which he said that Reinhold Weege used his dad's laugh because it was distinctive and appeared all over the shows because his dad was always in the audience. 97.82.165.112 (talk) 13:07, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

That is fantastic. Thank you so much! I really appreciate this! Best. Maineartists (talk) 13:33, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

That could be an interesting fact to add to one or both pages. I vaguely recall that Milton Berle's mother served somewhat the same purpose. She went to many of his TV shows and her hearty laugh could be heard. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 21:04, 30 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes, her name was Sadie. I'll definitely be adding the above information at least to the Night Court page. Thanks! Maineartists (talk) 13:30, 1 September 2020 (UTC)
