Out of order! Judge Jesse?

Posted at 10:46 AM on August 18, 2008 by Tom Scheck

The publication TV Week is reporting that former Gov. Jesse Ventura is negotiations to host a court show.

As television syndication companies this year seek high-profile names and show formats, Mr. Ventura, the former governor, actor, author and professional wrestler, is deep in negotiations with Twentieth Television to host a court show aimed at daytime television, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

If the deal is completed, the half-hour court show would debut in fall 2009, joining a number of other personality-driven series being readied for the season. That's in stark contrast to recent years, when cheap formats and under-the-radar names drove shows.
