JUDGE TRAVIS

This comedy series is your front-row seat to the behind-the-scenes chaos of America’s favorite fake TV judge. Through the guise of leaked audio, listeners eavesdrop on the absurd drama unfolding behind the bench of the reality television court show, JUDGE TRAVIS. Starring Bashir Salahuddin (South Side), Langston Kerman (Insecure), Brandi Denise (Power), Keesha Sharp (Girlfriends), Amber Ruffin (Late Night w. Seth Meyers) and George Wallace (Clean Slate).

Created and directed by television writer Tim Barnes (The Tonight Show, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central), Judge Travis draws inspiration from classic Hollywood-satire comedies like The Bernie Mac Show and The Larry Sanders Show. Court shows are one of America’s favorite pastimes. But why do we love these stern authority figures? And who are the real people behind those robes? JUDGE TRAVIS proves the answers to those questions are crazier than anything you’ve ever seen on TV.
