Sarah Palin could star in her very own reality courtroom show
Sarah Palin just might be returning to reality TV — this time, with a courtroom show.
Following a short, one-season run in late 2010 and early 2011 as host of her very own TLC wilderness reality show, Sarah Palin's Alaska, the former Alaska governor appears to have set her sights on another genre of unscripted television:
The TV executive behind courtroom personalities Judge Judy and Judge Joe will be on the production team for Palin's show, which aims to premiere in the fall of 2017. Palin, however, is missing one qualification that her two TV judge predecessors have: A juris doctor degree. People's source indicates that producers think she has plenty of other qualities to make up for that lack of degree, however, like her "telegenic personality, wide appeal, and common sense wisdom."
