Jerry Springer Segues From Trashy Talk to 'Judge Jerry' Court Show
Daytime talk show veteran Jerry Springer is moving into a new arena next year as the star of “Judge Jerry,” a syndicated court show to be distributed by NBCUniversal Television Distribution.
Word of the plan to launch “Judge Jerry” in fall 2019 comes nearly six months after production stopped on “Jerry Springer Show” in June. Springer, the former mayor of Cincinnati, hosted the talk show for 27 years.
The new hour long strip is expected to air on many of the same stations that carried the talk show, also from NBCUniversal. “Judge Jerry” has been sold to stations covering 75% of U.S. TV households.
“Judge Jerry” is described as a traditional court show with Springer presiding over legal disputes. NBCUniversal promises Springer will “render a verdict with a fair yet firm hand and always leave litigants with a dose of classic Springer wisdom.”
