Sarah Palin Is Getting Her Own Show
Endorsing Donald Trump for President may have helped former Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin secure a production deal for a new show. Palin will preside over a new syndicated courtroom series similar to “Judge Judy” which is slated to premiere in 2017. “What happens next is she’ll meet with stations, make a pilot and sell it” said a source close to Palin. The production company behind the show is part of a team that includes the TV executive who discovered Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown. Unlike her predecessors, Palin does not have a law degree. The selling point of having the politican as a “judge” is supposedly her unique personality and frequently controversial commentary. “Palin’s telegenic personality, wide appeal and common sense wisdom make her a natural for this kind of format and she was Warm Springs’ top pick for this project,” added the source.
