Few people in the media industry can boast of a career that is successful to the degree that Randy Douthit has enjoyed. For over 25 years, he has tasted success with shows that feature Judy Sheindlin. These include Judge Judy and the new Judy Justice.
Douthit zeroed in on a true opportunity that parlayed into a lifetime of media notoriety. The success that he cultivated for Sheindlin soon reached a fever pitch. Even after the first show went off the air, there were soon calls for another. As a result, Douthit and his judge found themselves in eternal demand.
Randy Douthit answered the call by creating Judy Justice for online consumption. At the same time, he also gained a great deal of attention by making known his views on so-called “tabloid TV.” This is a subject that has recently become a source of no little contention.
Douthit has gone on record as saying that most of the charges made against TV of this low type may, in fact, be true. However, he is quick to point out that this is not the only side of the argument. Other forms of media are far more relevant and worthy to be studied.
This is one of the main reasons why Randy Douthit has kept a sense of optimism. He had a hand in showing the recent United States House Select Committee hearings on the January 6 insurrection. This was a series of broadcasts that reached many millions of viewers all across the U.S.
Douthit compared the positive reception to these broadcasts to the influence that TV news had on events such as Watergate or the earlier McCarthy Senate hearings. His contention that TV remains a force for good was, in his view, vindicated.
Randy Douthit has a great deal of achievements to look back on. His part in bringing Judy Sheindlin to the public eye cannot be gainsaid. He always looks with pride on his participation in the televising of the Select Committee hearings. These, as well as other goals, have been met with a great deal of style, aplomb, and elan.
