JERRY SPRINGER
Watch out, Judge Judy: Jerry Springer is getting in on the gavel game. Springer, whose talk show ceased production this year, will launch “Judge Jerry,” a daily half-hour court show, next fall. The first-run syndication series will be distributed by NBC Universal. Like his court-show competition, “Judge Jerry” will hear real cases from litigants but will add a “Final Thoughts”-style dose of what NBC calls “classic Springer wisdom.”
