VIDEO : Jerry Springer Leaving His Show For New ?Judge Jerry? Court Series

Jerry Springer may be about to hang up his hat after an incredible 27 seasons of his gloriously trashy Jerry Springer Show, but that doesn?t mean that the 74-year-old daytime talk host is ready to retire. According to the Hollywood Reporter, NBCUniversal is developing a daytime court series with Springer to be titled Judge Jerry, in the same vein as Judge Judy and other small-claim type of court shows. Springer?s talk show, which debuted in 1991 and took its tabloid turn a short time into its run, is not producing new episodes at the moment. Previously produced episodes air on CW stations and in syndication.
