I'm sorry, what?

Move over, Judge Judy. There could be a new TV courtroom judge coming to town – and it's none other than former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

The onetime vice presidential candidate has been tapped to preside over a planned reality court show that would premiere next year, if it gets picked up by stations. She signed a deal in February with Montana-based production company Warm Springs, a source close to the process tells PEOPLE.

"It's a production deal," the source explains. "What happens next is she'll meet with stations, make a pilot and sell it."

Warm Springs first approached Palin with the idea in 2015 and has since put together a team that includes the TV executive who found Judge Judy and Judge Joe Brown.

Unlike the two famous TV judges, Palin does not have a juris doctor degree. But the source notes that the bestselling author has a variety of other qualities that make her perfectly suited to the job.

"Palin's telegenic personality, wide appeal and common sense wisdom make her a natural for this kind of format and she was Warm Springs' top pick for this project."

Spoiler

Will watch if they swap Palin for Tina Fey.

Further proof that this little "America" experiment has run its course and has failed.

That's a wrap, people.

 

[NealMcCauley]

The cajones on this woman to remain in the public spotlight.

 

[Struct09]

Going for that supreme court nomination from President Trump

 

[Nokagi]

Ugh. Why. Make it stop.

 

[Technosteve]

Is the show called jackass?

Is the show called white trash justice?

Is the show called from russia with love

tiny gif, but big laffs

 

[hobozero]

Is this the Death Panel i have heard so much about?

 

[Pakkidis]

If she has no official law degree and is not qualified to be a judge then any ruling she gives would be a joke no?

 

[RumblingRosco]

Perhaps a sign that she won't be Trump's VP pick.

Or, a dastardly red herring to throw-off the Democrats when they think they're not gonna have to deal with her and then Trump plays his trump card and picks her as his VP anyway.

 

[TheUntamedLegend]

Further proof that this little "America" experiment has run its course and has failed.

That's a wrap, people.

I do not know what you mean.
A fake legal reality show is the perfect environment for a fake politician.

 

[R10Neymarfan]

It's gonna get picked up. She has a fanbase

 

[Arkeband]

Is the show called "I love the poorly educated!"?

 

[Dishwalla]

Sounds like a Family Guy cutaway.

A very limited one. She had to shut down her subscription channel cuz she had no subscribers.

 

[rtcn63]

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

It will be worse than this show.

 

[Learn2read]

As a defendant?

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Every verdict will be a folksy, rambling, nonsensical word salad. Can't wait.

Too bad John McCain let himself be duped into picking her. The fact that she even had half a chance at being vp is insane. I wish i could hear his real thoughts on her and that decision.

That just sounds like a porn parody.

that's a nice way to say "retarded". I see no problem.

 

[Fenderputty]

That just sounds like a porn parody.

Lisa Ann already starred in it.

"Common sense wisdom"

Yeah keep trying to sell that

 

[Grizzlyjin]

If she has no official law degree and is not qualified to be a judge then any ruling she gives would be a joke no?

From my understanding, none of those judge shows are actual court proceedings. They're a form of arbitration, where both people agree to go with the ruling of the show. So you don't even need a legal degree for it.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

Does she even function on a high enough level to do that? I can see her maybe showing up late for a guest appearance on an episode and ramble off some incoherent catch phrases.

 

[NoblesseOblige]

Let her have her show as long as it keeps her out of politics.

 

[Simon Belmont]

I had no doubt she'd end up running a kangaroo court.

 

[atr0cious]

Makes sense, she needs to get a little experience in before Trump nominates her for the Supreme Court.

 

[The Real Abed]

We don't need this.

I didn't ask for this.

Who asked for this?

Who asked for more Sarah Palin?

 

[RPGCrazied]

No, thanks. Hearing her speak makes my ears bleed. I'd rather watch paint dry.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Judge Rinder trumps them all (except Judy).

 

[Malyse]

Judge Rinder trumps them all (except Judy).

What about

 

[DrunkShogun]

Judge Rinder trumps them all (except Judy).

So true about Rinder. Would actually put him above judy.

 

[Extra Sauce]

Most depressing news I've heard all day.

 

[NYCmetsfan]

Ed Koch did the people's court for two seasons.

 

[NimbusD]

'Establishment' republicans tried to put this woman within inches of the presidency. Now they're at a loss as to why Trump exists.

 

[Hexa]

In other news Judge Judy endorsed Trump.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

Trainwreck TV

 

[Macadinho94]

I guess she's not gonna be in Trump's administration?

 

[Speevy]

So she delivers the verdict and no one knows if they won or lost.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Little off topic, but since she endorsed him, and is campaigning for him some, this just came to me.

Can you imagine what Trump will try to do once he loses the race for the white house? Arnold is taking over his show, so. I can just see it now, a Trump reality show. Seeing the life of the Trumps, in the tower. Kinda like the Osbournes.

Ugh.
