Sarah Palin signs on to star in daytime courtroom show as the ‘judge’

She’s already proved her prowess in reality TV. Now Sarah Palin will be the principal star in a daytime courtroom show, a genre that has proved both popular and lucrative for the nation’s networks.

The former Alaska governor and vice-presidential candidate signed a deal last month with Warm Springs Productions, a Montana-based creative group that is behind such offerings as “Duck Commander,” “Deadly Shootouts,” “NRA All Access” and “American River Renegades” among many others. A producer associated with the group is, in fact, the pointman behind both the very successful “Judge Judy” and “Judge Joe Brown,” another show which dwells on drama, legals spats and moments of candor.

“It’s a production deal,” an anonymous source told People Magazine. “Palin’s telegenic personality, wide appeal and common sense wisdom make her a natural for this kind of format.”

Another representative praised Mrs. Palin’s previous TV ratings, book sales and huge social media following. The show is expected to be ready for the 2017 season. Warm Springs Productions, meanwhile, spells out its creative mission online: “Have you been told that you deserve your own reality TV show? Or do you know someone that should be on reality TV? You’ve come to the right place! Warm Springs Productions is always on the look out for BIG CHARACTERS; INTERESTING LIVES; UNIQUE FAMILY BUSINESSES; and GREAT STORIES.”
