Judge Jeanine Pirro

[3][4] Judge Jeanine Pirro was recorded in Chicago at NBC Tower, the NBC network's Chicago broadcast base and home to the related courtroom series Judge Mathis, and was produced by Telepictures Productions, distributed in syndication by Warner Bros.

[5] Following its first season, The Tyra Banks Show, another show by Telepictures Productions, was pulled from national syndication and took over Judge Pirro's place in the CW Daytime lineup, resulting in the series moving to Fox-owned stations, along with regular syndication outside of Fox O&O markets.

[5] In the spring of 2011, due to low ratings, Judge Pirro was cancelled, ending its run in May.

[citation needed] Some reality television stars, along with a wrestler, appeared on the show during its run.

One of the bailiffs, Jimmie Akins,[6] was fired after he was arrested for attempted extortion charges.
