James Carville taped a pilot for his own judge show
The “Ragin’ Cajun” former Bill Clinton presidential campaign strategist has taped a pilot for Carville’s Court, according to leaked Sony e-mails that Wikileaks posted this week. “I’m bringing that same no nonsense common sense to everyday Americans, people from all over America who come to New Orleans, my home turf,” Carville says in the show’s opening credits. Reached by Politico, which discovered the e-mails, Carville confirmed he taped the pilot, but that “it’s not a go right now.” “We shot a pilot for something we thought we might want to try, there’s nothing more complicated to it,” Carville said. “It was decided not to bring it to TV.”
