Despite being a fun and popular daytime television series that lasted decades, there has always been questions about whether Judge Judy is real. The star of the show was always the judge herself, Justice Judy Sheindlin. The beloved courtroom show came to a close in 2021, but it quickly made a comeback as Prime Video’s Justice Judy. Judge Sheindlin handles small claims on the show, as litigants are brought on cases that rarely scratch the $2,000 mark. The judge is world-famous, and she’s one of the highest-paid TV hosts ever, as Judge Judy made $147 million in 2017 alone.
