Sarah Palin Eyes TV Judgeship

Former Alaska governor and Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has signed a deal with a television production company to develop a courtroom reality show similar to Judge Judy. However, unlike that show’s Judy Sheindlin, who was a lawyer, Palin has no legal background. People reports that Palin will begin meeting with television stations and develop a pilot, and if the show is picked up it could begin as soon as Fall 2017. Palin’s previous forays into television – “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” and “Amazing America with Sarah Palin,” on TLC and the Sportsman Channel, respectively – were short-lived.
