Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Marsha Warfield, Renowned Actress & Comedienne, Roz from “Night Court”.
Marsha Warfield is a highly popular actress and comedienne who is perhaps best known for her portrayal of the tough, wise-cracking, no-nonsense bailiff “Roz Russell” on the classic sitcom “Night Court.”
She also played “Dr. Maxine Douglas” in “Empty Nest”, and “Toni Wilson” in “9-1-1”, and she’s made guest appearances on dozens of other TV shows including “The Richard Pryor Show” , “Riptide”, “Family Ties”, “Cheers”, “Touched by an Angel” and many more. And yes, she was the voice of the mail carrier in “The Addams Family”.
And in the early 90s, she even hosted a wonderful talk show of her own, “The Marsha Warfield Show.” She’s also appeared in many great movies including “Doomsday Rock”, “Caddyshack 2”, “Anything for Love”, “Mask”, “They Call me Bruce”, “The Marva Collins Story”, “Miracles Across 125th Street”, “A Holiday I Do” and many more.
But Harvey Brownstone thinks the best way to experience the brilliant talent of Marsha Warfield is when she’s being her hilarious and insightful self on stage, doing stand-up comedy. And she’s been doing that a long time. She won the San Francisco International Comedy Competition in 1979. She’s made dozens of appearances on late night talk shows and comedy specials including, “Comic Relief”, “An Evening at the Improv”, “The Comedy Store”, “Funny Women of a Certain Age”, and most recently, the Netflix documentary, “Outstanding: A Comedy Revolution.”
And who can ever forget her classic comedy album, “This is Not Gross, This is Important”, in which she provides a no-holds-barred exploration of the subject on everyone’s mind: sex. She’s got a fabulous web-show on YouTube called “Midnight in the Marsha-verse”, in which she shares her trademark wit and wisdom with celebrity guests in thought-provoking and insightful conversations.
She’s currently on tour, performing to sold out audiences, and she’s funnier than ever, tackling a wide variety of issues including everything from politics, the realities of being a Black gay woman, and her love affair with pizza.
Harvey Brownstone is a retired judge of the Ontario Court of Justice and was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He is also the bestselling author of “Tug of War: A Judge’s Verdict on Separation, Custody Battles and the Bitter Realities of Family Court” and hosted “Family Matters with Justice Harvey Brownstone,” a television talk show on matters involving the family justice system.
After a distinguished legal career, Harvey was appointed a judge at the age of 38 in 1995. He has presided in family and criminal courts. He has been a trailblazer in several ways. He was the first openly gay judge in Canada. He was the first sitting judge in the world to write a national best seller and to host a TV talk show.
Harvey has been a role model and icon in the LGBTQ community. When same-sex marriage was legalized in Canada in 2003, he was the only judge to make himself publicly available to officiate at weddings for lesbian and gay couples travelling to Toronto from all over the world to get married. In 2007, he officiated at the wedding of Edith Windsor and Thea Spyer, the American couple whose marriage triggered the 2013 United States Supreme Court decision overturning the definition of “spouse” in the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
In February 2021, Harvey launched his online talk show “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” on his own YouTube channel. He saw this as an interesting hobby. Within several months, the show attracted hundreds of thousands – and then eventually, millions – of viewers. Because of the overwhelming success of the show, Harvey decided to retire from the judiciary on December 31, 2021 after having presided as a full-time judge for 26 1/2 years. Free from the constraints imposed upon judges regarding the expression of opinions and the endorsement of private enterprise, Harvey now happily devotes his full-time attention to hosting “Harvey Brownstone Interviews” as a regular member of the public – albeit one with a rather illustrious and unique career history.
