TV icon Judge Judy Sheindlin, 82, is setting her sights on a new, unconventional project: a “South Park”-esque animated series starring an AI-generated “Baby Judge Judy.” Sheindlin revealed her plans during an appearance on Amy Poehler’s “Good Hang” podcast, expressing her desire to “steal back” the “Baby Judge Judy” concept, which is currently featured in a popular, unauthorized YouTube series using deepfake technology.

Sheindlin admitted she’s intentionally avoided shutting down the “Baby Judge Judy” YouTube channel, which remixes old “Judge Judy” episodes with baby-faced AI avatars. Instead, she wants to leverage the character’s popularity into a more ambitious, comedic show, envisioning Poehler as a key creative partner.

“I want to take this character and create a ‘South Park-y’ kind of show, so that I can Judy-kvetch through the baby. Speaking through Baby Judge Judy would be a whole lot of fun,” Sheindlin explained, highlighting the need for the right writer to execute the concept effectively.

Poehler, a self-proclaimed fan of Sheindlin, responded with laughter and flattery, calling the idea “genius.” While not explicitly committing, Poehler acknowledged Sheindlin’s continued persistence in pitching the project.

Sheindlin’s foray into AI-powered comedy follows a long and successful career. After 25 years on “Judge Judy,” she launched “Judy Justice” and “Tribunal Justice,” demonstrating her continued drive to innovate and entertain. The “Baby Judge Judy” project marks a significant departure, signaling Sheindlin’s willingness to embrace new technologies and push creative boundaries.
