Who is the bailiff on judge judy

But he never talked with his boss about the new show while they completed the 25th and final season of Judge Judy ; because of the pandemic, Sheindlin taped remotely in New York while Byrd worked in L. After production wrapped in April of this year, Byrd turned his focus to his wife, Makita Bond-Byrd, a longtime Judge Judy producer who was scheduled for brain surgery. Doctors successfully removed 95 percent of her tumor. But she did inform me that fundamentally, I was priced out as the new bailiff on her new show.

My salary would have been too much. I was curious: How would she know? She didn't ask me. She didn't give me an opportunity to have accepted a lower salary. Sheindlin, through a spokesperson, released this statement Friday: "Byrd is terrific and we had a great year run. This is a whole new program with a whole new cast and an exciting energy.

Looking back on his chat with Sheindlin in July, Byrd thinks she assumed he called because they didn't have a proper sendoff after 25 years on Judge Judy. Ironically, he says his wife was asked to participate on Judy Justice , but her health issues made it impossible. Byrd is particularly humbled by the reaction of fans, who expressed shock at his absence in the Judy Justice trailer. He said he later asked Sheindlin about her new show and was told he would not be a part of it.
