Who knew that Amy Schumer loves Judge Judy? In May 2017, Amy Schumer, who wrote and made her film debut in a starring role in the movie Trainwreck, was able to swing tickets from Gary Rosen to the Judge Judy show, despite that the show only allows paid actors to appear in the audience. Amy and her sister, Kim Caramele went to the show and was taped being in the audience during a case, had some fun in the Judge’s chair and went backstage to meet Judge Judy where Amy thanked the Judge for sentencing her sister to fifty lashes for insubordination.

Judge Judy Pretends to be Taped in NYC, but is Actually Taped In Los Angeles:

Judge Judy Sheindlin has lived in New York City for most of her life and her show Judge Judy was previously taped in Midtown Manhattan until 2001, when production of her show was moved to Los Angeles, CA. Judge Judy has now become the highest paid legal person in America, as she rakes in over $50 Million a year on CBS and can now afford a number of residences across the country including a luxury penthouse apartment in New York City, a horse farm in Connecticut, a beach mansion in Naples Florida and a mountain ski retreat in Wyoming. For many years, the Judge has commuted to Los Angeles (every other week for four days/week) to tape episodes of Judge Judy, but after ten years of flying on her own G5 Lear jet to Los Angeles, she became frustrated with her commute and just went ahead and bought a $10.7 million condominium in the Los Angeles suburb of Beverly Hills in 2010, where she now stays during her filming season, which now runs for 8 weeks, four times a year. She recently sold her back-catalog of Judge Judy TV shows to CBS for just under $100 Million, which now makes her the highest paid lawyer/judge in US history.

Is The Judge Judy TV Show Real?

Judge Judy likes to say "Real people, real cases, Judge Judy", but this reality is far from real. The courtroom you see on TV is a fake courtroom set in a TV studio in Hollywood, California. The Courtroom audience are all paid actors. The cases and the names of the litigants may be "real", but litigants often do not look like their real-world selves, it is thought that the litigants are replaced by actors. In the actual hearing, the losing party does not have to pay the other party if Judge Judy decides against them, as the show pays all monies to all parties for all settlements. The court findings are non-binding, even though the show is supposed to be a binding arbitration. It is not clear if Judge Judy is still an actual judge anywhere in the world, as she hasn't sat on a real bench for twenty years. The bailiff, Petri Hawkins-Byrd, has been with the show since 1996 and was actually a bailiff with the New York City Court System in the late 1980's. So, with that all said, the show is not very real at all, welcome to the very best in fake-ality television.

How Cases Are Selected For Judge Judy:

Judge Judy is a show about family court cases, marital dissension and small claims disputes. It's about relationships in conflict and Judge Judy's unique ability to act as a true moral compass for people seeking guidance, insight and resolution in their often complicated lives. The series selects actual court cases from across the nation and places them before the charismatic Judge Judy, a credible arbitrator well known for her decisions on some of the toughest cases in New York-and on TV. Taking a common sense approach, it's Judge Judy's goal to make a permanent and worthwhile impression that will discourage repeat offenders and help heal families and victims of injustice.

My friends and I were almost on the show. Basically they will pay for you to fly out to LA to film, accommodation for 4 nights, pay you I think it was $1k, and then the charges that Judge Judy hands down are also paid out by the show. The production team will also take whatever case you send them as a proposal and blow it way out of proportion for dramatic affect. In our case, we had a typical college dorm party and one of our friends accidentally fell into the wall, making a hole. After contacting the show with our proposal, they said they would pick it up if we were willing to expand on that story. They said the story should be that our friend was drunk one night, came into our home and started arguing. After a light altercation, he pushes my friend into the wall. Then they asked if I had a new phone or if it was used and had signs of use. It was about a year old and after replying with that they said great we can also say he argued with me and slapped my phone out of my hand, causing damage. My friend would be found guilty and given the charges owed to me and our other friend. The show covers all the costs though, even the damages the shows writers made up. We ultimately decided not to do it because my friend that would play the instigator didn't want that out in public, whether it was fake or not. Just goes to show how so many people buy it as a real court.

Edit: spelling

This isn’t true of The People’s Court. I actually went to one of those, and although there were paid actors there, a bunch of the audience were just fans of the show. It was a good time and Judge Milian took questions after. She seemed super nice. Was great with the fans there, anyway.

Edit: I was way off. It was only 4.5 years ago.

I hypothesized that because the audience members are statistically better looking than average people.
