'Chrissy's Court': Chrissy Teigen's new Quibi show puts a fun, comedic spin on 'Judge Judy' format
A witty and charming supermodel as a judge? The court will be in session for sure and how.
Chrissy Teigen is arriving on Quibi, a short-form video platform, with her new show 'Chrissy's Court' on April 6 and we have a few reasons why she could easily replace 'Judge Judy.'
The supermodel is known for her wit. She is rightly called the Twitter queen for her quips and jabs that she is so prompt with. With her new show, she will get to showcase more of her humorous side, bringing in much-needed comic relief in these stressful times. Whereas 'Judge Judy' thrives on seriousness (almost always) and there's dark humor involved. Even though it has gathered millions of fans over the past two decades but who wouldn't want a fresh spin on court hearings.
Unlike Judy Sheindlin, Chrissy doesn't come from a law background, which makes her job on 'Chrissy's Court' tricky, and thus very interesting. It would be a welcome departure. Judy had experience presiding over courts and she kept to the books, but Chrissy is coming in with little to no experience in matters of case hearings, which will help put across a fresh perspective.
The fun aspect of it automatically increases with Chrissy on board. With her, we all know it's not going to be the traditional way. The eyebrow tilts and the stern stares as Judy can make way for some unadulterated fun. In the trailer, Chrissy says pointing at her judge's robe, "I am fully naked under this." The approach is fresh, new and entertaining and that's all we need at the moment.
In 'Judge Judy,' the proceeding may merely be an arbitration, the cases are very much real and serious ones such as broken engagements, unpaid personal loans, and contract breaches. In Chrissy's sessions, she will deal with cases with quirks. In a post last year, Chrissy asked users to submit cases, mentioning they are looking for petty ones. From custody battle over a pet to significant other not watching a show with a partner, the cases can get wild and fun to watch.
Each episode is not going to be more than 10 minutes and will deal with only one case, keeping the format quick, simple and therefore really easy to watch even when one is on the go.
