Report: Sarah Palin Hopes To Become TV's Next Judge Judy (Ha Ha, Yeah Right, She Wishes)
What’s worse than getting your leg peed on and being told it’s raining? Getting your leg peed on and being told that it’s Palin. At least, that’s how it feels after reading PEOPLE’s report that the hip-hop rappin’ former governor of Alaska Sarah Palin (pictured above with another human whose politics are as garbage as his TV) has her eyes set on becoming a TV judge. Says PEOPLE:
The onetime vice presidential candidate has been tapped to preside over a new reality court show that would premiere next year. She signed a deal in February with Montana-based production company Warm Springs, a source close to the process tells PEOPLE.
“It’s a production deal,” the source explains. “What happens next is she’ll meet with stations, make a pilot and sell it.”
PEOPLE adds that Palin’s TV courtroom team includes a “TV executive who found Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown.” At last, the diametric opposite of the no-nonsense Judge Judith Sheindlin: someone who is complete nonsense. This sounds more or less like the worst idea for a show, which might make it actually perfect trash TV. Jury’s out till Palin’s in!
Palin already has a string of shows under her belt, including Sarah Palin’s Alaska on TLC and Amazing America with Sarah Palin on the Sportsman Channel, as well as a contract with Fox News, from which she was dropped in 2015. And one day, her courtroom show will be canceled, too, if it ever gets made. It’s the circle of life wherein she’s the baboon and each TV show is a sickly, this-close-to-stillborn Simba.
