Judge Judy, 83, Steps Back from On-Camera TV and Reveals the One Person She Trusts to Take Her Place

 

Viewers See the Family Resemblance

 

Sheindlin may have given her son an emphatic vote of confidence, but viewers have been forming their own opinions. The trailer prompted plenty of comments about how strongly Levy resembles his mother — not only physically, but in the way he speaks and handles people.

One viewer wrote, "I'm not ready for Judge Judy to hand anything over. May she live forever!!" Another was immediately struck by the similarities: "Oh my gosh this guy totally embodies his mom 😂 I love it!!" A third was willing to give Levy a chance but made one thing clear: "I'll give him a shot, but no one will ever replace his mom."

"Looking just like his mama lol. Can't wait!" another commenter wrote. One viewer went into much greater detail about the resemblance: "He takes after his mom in so many ways. The facial expressions, his manner of speech, the way he eviscerates liars. I have a feeling this is going to have a very long and prosperous run. [...] Judy, you raised him well!"
