Night Court question

Go To

So I have been meaning to ask this question for a long time, and it just popped up in my head all of a sudden. So here I go asking about this.

Found under The Cast Showoff on the Night Court Trivia page.

John Larroquette showed off in two episodes. Once, his ability as a Motor Mouth of a description of the charges against a defendant in the episode "Day in the Life" and his skill as an accordionist in an episode that was a homage to "The Phantom of the Opera".

Has anyone seen the episode A Guy Named Phantom? Is the accordion playing all him even real? Did he really play it?

I would really like to know and find out if this is real or not and any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

My mom remembers that episode and she says it was him on-screen with the accordion so unless he's really good at accordion syncing, he does play. We were looking for something to watch anyway, so I think we're diving into this show.

ETA: It's $9.99 a season on Amazon Instant Video, but it's only in Standard Definition.

Yep, he did play it.

Relatedly, in the episode where we learn Dan's real given name (from a childhood acquaintance who held Dan hostage until Dan could remember who he was — it's Reinhold, which is a reference to the show's creator, Reinhold Weege ) the episode ends with a shot of a photo of young Dan cheerfully playing the accordion.

But is it a picture of young John Laroquette playing the accordion?

Sorry for the long delay in responding everyone, but I got busy with some things and I had to wait for some items to come in which led to a big gift for a special occasion that I recently had.

But thank you all for answering my question.

Thanks Journeyman. I knew it was real too, but just wanted to confirm to make sure whether the picture was fake or not.
