Judge Judy’s Nighttime Activity With Husband Jerry Is Very on Brand
The verdict is in: Judge Judy is a certified binger.
The 81-year-old—whose real name is Judy Sheindlin—recently revealed her and husband Jerry Sheindlin’s go-to nighttime activity involves catching their favorite reruns of, naturally, crime-centered TV.
“Watch Jerry Orbach,” Judy exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi, referring to the original leading man of Law & Order. “Occasionally, I got to Criminal Minds. And Vincent [D’Onofrio] in Criminal Content. I watch after dinner, when I’m getting ready for bed.”
Just don’t ask her to take her binging into the true crime podcast sphere. “I’ve never listened to a podcast,” she noted. “Not interested.” (For more with Judy, tune into E! News tonight Sept. 24 at 11 p.m.)
And just as the longtime TV judge’s genre of choice doesn’t come as a surprise, the amusing reason behind her strict adherence to only watching re-runs is likewise characteristically very Judy.
“I hate falling asleep to something new,” she admitted. “I know the end with the re-runs! I know that’s ridiculous. If I watch something new, it has to be great.”
