Heads up, The Big Bang Theory fans! Bernadette and Raj are back together on television!
In a surprise video uploaded on actress Melissa Rauch's Instagram, she shared that her former co-star Kunal Nayyar is set to make an appearance on an upcoming episode of her hit reboot sitcom Night Court.
As the two are seen standing on set, they played up their comedic past together by referencing one of the most famous scenes they were in together on the CBS series.
"Oh, Bernadette," Kunal says while Melissa looks on. "Please play my clarinet."
And if that's not enough, Melissa revealed exactly when folks could expect the duo to be onscreen together once again. "Guess who’s dropping by #NightCourt?! 👀🤭," read the caption. "Don’t miss guest star @kunalkarmanayyar Tuesday, February 6 at 9/8c on NBC and streaming on @peacock."
It's been almost five years since fans have seen Melissa and Kunal on TV together, so naturally, they had a lot of feelings (and questions!) after seeing the clip.
"Can we get more TBBT cast on Night Court???" one person inquired on Instagram. "We need a spin-off with Howard, Bernadette and Raj please," another begged while also mentioning the duo's other co-star Simon Helberg as Bernadette's husband, Howard Wolowitz. "Raj and Bernadette back together again 🙌🙌," a different follower exclaimed.
So, what is Kunal's role on Night Court when he guest stars in a few weeks? According to TVLine, the actor is set to play a fashion designer named Martini Toddwallis, who is suffering from a lack of inspiration. But when he arrives at night court in the Manhattan Criminal Court, "he finds inspiration and maybe even a muse."
