Sorry, meat to post that in Google Search.
JJ works 52 days a year. It is reported she makes $900,000
per episode. The production cost is nominal.
A lot more TV Shows with the same relative viewers pay a lot
more in production cost and actor salaries.
For example, Fear The Walking Dead had a viewership per episode
of about 2.5 million. But the production costs is a lot more.
Judge Judy doesn’t actually “work” 52 Weeks a Year.
She flies her Private Jet (not that’s there’s anything wrong with that) to CA from New York and Films multiple Shows per day during a week long period each Month.
She stays in her CA Home while she’s here and then she flies back Home.
