The lampooning purveyor of justice (dubbed Sideshow Seidlin by the media for his courtroom antics) announced his resignation from the bench in June amid speculation he was negotiating a deal for his own show.

At the time of his resignation, Seidlin sent a letter to Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, stating “it is now time for me to devote more of my daily life to my own young family and to pursue the many opportunities that have been offered to me outside the judicial system and I have disregarded until now.”

Seidlin, 56, is a former New York cab driver who presided on the bench for nearly 29 years.
