Nationwide Layoff Watch: Florida Television Judges?

Judge David Young.jpgBack in October 2007, we wondered:

Why does Florida produce so many TV judges? It is because of their penchant, noted by PD Howard Finkelstein, for being rude and abusive?

The following are former Floridian jurists who left the state bench for the boob tube: Marilyn Milian, of the People’s Court (previously discussed here); Alex Ferrer, a/k/a “Judge Alex”; David Young, the gay TV judge; and the notorious Anna Nicole Smith judge, Larry Seidlin (not on air yet, but rumored to arrive in fall 2008).

Sadly, the world is now down two Miami TV judges. One of them, Judge David Young (pictured above), was trying to be The Gay TV Judge.

The country may be growing more receptive to gay marriage. But when it comes to television judges, it seems we like ‘em straight.

I've always thought that I would make an excellent TV judge. I'm fair, judicious, photographic, and my wife's friends and my softball league all think that I have a sharp wit. Unfortunately, I suspect being a TV judge requires more work than I'm used to. I don't think I would be able to bear the loss of free time, and how my TV show would cut into my alone time whittling this rosewood and maple chess set that I've been making for some time now.

Plaintiff: Your honor, I object!

Judge Young: Hey, boy, you got a pretty mouth

Judge Young was super-gay:

“There is only one queen in this courtroom and that’s me,” he declared in one episode.
