Former NY DA to get her own TV show

by Brad Trechak, posted May 5th 2008 7:29PM

Jeanine PirroFormer NY District Attorney Jeanine Pirro will be getting her own television show on the CW network. Judge Jeanine Pirro will be broadcast weekday afternoons starting September 22nd.

Pirro, 56, has already had television experience as a legal commentator. Before that, she was a Westchester County judge and a rising star in New York's Republican Party. She was once seen in People magazine's "most beautiful" issue.

Pirro has had a history of interesting problems that have held her back in one way or another. When she challenged Hillary Clinton for the Senate, she lost a page of her announcement and was speechless for 32 seconds. There are also the issues she's had with her soon-to-be-ex-husband, Albert Pirro (who has been hit with both a paternity suit and a tax fraud conviction).

Daytime television judges have been around since Judge Wapner and The People's Court. A few months ago, TV Squad judged nine of them. I guess we have one more to add to the mix.

I realize that this blog usually follows a left-leaning political view, but Jeanine Pirro is a frequent guest on the genius show "Red Eye", of which she is very entertaining. Although I won't watch this show (I hate court shows) I just wanted to show a little support for Jeanine.

I hope this ends up being the extent of her television career. She has the potential to be as annoyingly myopic and intellectually dishonest as Nancy Grace.
