Judy Sheindlin, aka “Judge Judy,” announced Monday that she is donezo!
Yes, America’s favorite cranky judge is ending her long-running show “Judge Judy” after its 25th season.
Sheindlin made the announcement during an interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.”
But fret not, fans of televised justice! Old girl is will be moving from “Judge Judy” to a new show, “Judy Justice.”
“I’ve had a 25-year-long marriage with CBS and it’s been successful,” Scheindlin told Ellen. “Next year will be our 25th season, silver anniversary, and CBS, I think felt they wanted to optimally utilize the repeats of my program. Because now they have 25 years of reruns. So, what they decided to do was to sell a couple of years worth of reruns. But I’m not tired, so ‘Judy Justice’ will be coming out a year later.
“‘Judge Judy,’ you’ll be able to see next year — a full year, all new shows. With a ponytail!” she added. “The following couple of years, you should be able to catch all the reruns that CBS has sold to the stations that are currently carrying ‘[Judge] Judy,’ and ‘Judy Justice’ will be going elsewhere. Isn’t that fun?”
Speaking of fun, Judy Sheindlin is one of the highest-paid celebrities on daytime television, earning a $147 million payday in 2018, the same year that the entire back catalog of her shows was sold to CBS for roughly $200 million.
The Chicks on the Right and Producer Rob talked Judge Judy’s neverending career on today’s show.
