Now that’s what you call a comeback!
Jerry Springer is making his return to TV with his very own courtroom show less than a year after his infamous talk show was canceled.
According to Deadline, Springer is returning to daytime syndication and is reteaming with NBCUniversal TV Distribution to helm his new show as Judge Jerry. During the half-hour court program, Springer will hear cases and deliver verdicts. The show will be taped in front of a live studio audience at the Stamford Media Center in Connecticut.
“For the first time in my life, I am going to be called honorable,” Springer said in a statement. “My career is coming full circle and I finally get to put my law degree to use after all these years.”
“Judge Jerry will merge Jerry’s talent for connecting with people, his incredibly relatable and funny personality and his legal training and governing experience to bring viewers a more entertaining court show,” said Tracie Wilson, EVP, Creative Affairs, NBCUniversal TV Distribution. “We are so happy to continue our fantastic partnership with Jerry, who is a proven TV icon with a dedicated and broad fan base.”
Judge Jerry will debut in fall 2019.
