Star Jones has moved behind the bench to preside over “Divorce Court,” which kicks off its new season Aug. 22 (2-3 p.m.
weekdays on WWOR/Ch. 9) from its studio in Atlanta with a virtual audience via Zoom, Skype, etc.Jones, 60, is the fourth judge in this iteration of the 65-year-old syndicated staple, following Judge Mablean Ephraim, Judge Lynn Toler and Judge Faith Jenkins.Jones, the former New York City homicide prosecutor, business executive, author — and, of course, an original co-host of “The View” (1997-2006) — spoke to The Post about her new TV job.Did you have to take any special courses to prepare for “Divorce Court”?Remember, I was the first black person to have her own court show [“Jones & Jury,” which aired on CNN from 1994-95] so I had the background.
I didn’t take any special courses for “Divorce Court”; however, I’ve done a series of arbitration clinics and mediation clinics because I like to keep up with my legal training and the law, what people are talking about, and how to approach different situations.Were you looking to get back onto television?I wasn’t. I had been working so hard over the past few years in business and politics and doing political fundraising.
I was in my car on the way to the airport to fly to Italy to speak at the Women’s Forum for the Economy & Society … when I got the phone call that this was a possibility. I thought, “If they think I can follow in the footsteps of incredible women like Judge Mablean Ephraim, Judge Lynn Toler and Judge Faith Jenkins, I’ll give it a shot.” I was incredibly honored.How has it been with your “studio audience” watching virtually?They really become my at-home jury.
