Melissa Rauch tells The View that people stop her on the street to see those 'Hobbit hands'

Night Court actress Melissa Rauch has a big update on her adorable Hobbit hands one year after rocking The View with a reveal that she lost acting jobs over the size of her mitts.

Joy Behar welcomed Rauch back to the program Tuesday by bringing up her last visit, which saw the internet explode with interest after the performer recalled a commercial director refusing to hire her for work after physically jumping at the sight of her hands.

Rauch joked that her hands are still "stumpy and a little dry" as she held them up to Behar's, and said that, since her January 2023 appearance, people have only grown more curious about the story.

"Apparently, it got more attention than anything I've ever said. I don't know if people thought it was a medical condition, that I actually had Hobbit hands," Rauch said with a laugh. "After that, I'd walk down the street, and even TMZ would stop me, like, 'Hey, show us your Hobbit hands!'"

Sara Haines asked Rauch if she's had any other issues with her hands since stopping by the talk show, but the actress said her body has posed a different challenge as she continues to film NBC's revival of the beloved Night Court sitcom.

"Luckily, I think it's more the lower portion of my body right now, at work, because at Night Court we have a lot of the same furniture from the original, and that happened to be one of the tallest casts in television," she added. "My feet don't quite reach the floor on a lot of our [set]."

Later, Rauch again fielded focus on her hands while discussing her inability to get representation by talent agents in Hollywood at the beginning of her career.

"It was the hands," Haines joked. "There are so many Hobbit agents out there: William Morris, whatever, tons of Hobbit agents!" Behar added of the talent mogul who died in 1932, to which moderator Whoopi Goldberg hilariously responded: "William Morris is dead. No longer alive."

The View airs weekdays at 11 a.m. ET on ABC.
