Forget David Letterman and Conan O’Brien’s big ratings war in the 11.35pm late night spot of American TV. The real news is in daytime TV shows.
Judge Judy just whopped Oprah in the ratings for highest day time show of blah blah TV for ratings taken to May 31. Who would have thought, that Judge Judy is the new Oprah and the judges bench is more appealing than Oprah’s A-Listed couch at the moment?! That’s impressive.
It’s all about pairing a hand crocheted doily, over a judges black cape. She’s America’s Super Granny of Justice. And we like that! But seriously…
Telling people off while… listening sometimes… is paying off for Judge Judy as people want a sense of justice and fairfor little people in a recession, and perhaps not the lofty advice of the gazillionaire and their imported advice of panelists who can help their ‘situation.’ But, wake up people, Judge Judy is almost as rich as Miss Oprah, or fast becoming that way. Congrats to both ladies for their ratings!
Judge Judy is the third richest TV star after, after Oprah and Simon Cowell. Here’s what they earn:
1. Oprah ($260 million/year)
2. Simon Cowell ($45 million/year)
3. Judge Judy ($30 million/year)
4. Katie Couric ($15 million/year)
5. Zach Braff ($6.3 million/year)
