Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh is a little too excited about Judge Judy’s contract extension.
Judge Judy Sheindlin has signed a contract extension with CBS through 2020. Sheindlin is now 72 years old and has been on the air, starring in “Judge Judy” since 1996. It’s been the hottest of day-time television shows and it was making her a whopping $45 million per year under her old contract.

Now, her production company, Queen Bee Productions, introduced a new show called “Hot Bench” on CBS that has quickly surged to become one of the hottest day-time shows on television average 2.3 million viewers day according to CNN. The extremely jaw-dropping $45 million a year doesn’t include her earnings from Hot Bench or her new contract figures, which are expected to be much higher.
Why do we care? Well, we really don’t. But, Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh cares, he cares a lot.
Big Congrats to Judge Judy on signing her contract extension thru 2020 from a Devout Fan!

Is this a joke? Not at all. Harbaugh has been such a fan of the TV court show that he was even in the audience once with his father.

Judge Judy rakes in 10.3 million viewers a day, out performing popular talk shows like Ellen and Dr. Phil as well as many others and destroys all other court television shows in ratings.
I guess we’re happy for people like Jim Harbaugh who seems like he can’t live without Judge Judy.
