LOS ANGELES — “Judge Judy” is keeping her hand firmly on the gavel through 2015.
Judy Sheindlin signed a new multiyear deal to stay with the long-running syndicated program, CBS Television Distribution said Monday. A former New York judge, the tough-talking Sheindlin presides over small-claims cases on her program — in its 15th season.
“I am thrilled with the opportunity to continue this exciting second career,” said Sheindlin, 68.
