Jeanine Ferris Pirro, an American television host and author was born on June 2nd 1951 in El Mira, New York in the United States of America. She also served as a former judge in New York State, a prosecutor and a politician. She was born to Lebanese-American parents with her father being a Mobile-home salesman and her mother, a department store model.

Early Life

Pirro’s parents were Catholic Maronites. Pirro knew she wanted to be an attorney since she was six years old. She graduated in three years from Notre Dame High School in Elmira, where she also interned at the Chemung County District Attorney’s office. Pirro then earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Buffalo. She earned her J.D. from Union University’s Albany Law School in 1975, where she was an editor of the law review.

Career

Pirro has been on the syndicated morning talk show The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet on a regular basis. She has appeared as a guest expert on Today, Fox NY Good Day New York, and others. She is a Fox News legal analyst who has appeared on numerous shows, including Larry King Live, The Joy Behar Show, and Geraldo at Large. She frequently appeared on Fox’s late-night satirical show Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld. To Punish and Protect, Pirro’s nonfiction book on life inside the criminal justice system, was published in 2003. Pirro created the novel Sly Fox in 2012, with the help of author Pete Earley, based on her own experiences as a 25-year-old assistant district attorney in Westchester. Pirro appears in the six-part HBO series The Jinx, explaining her viewpoint on the 1983 disappearance of Kathie Durst, a high-profile case in which she served as the investigative attorney. Pirro hosted the American reality court show You the Jury, which was terminated after two episodes.

The CW Television Network announced on May 5, 2008, that Pirro would host a weekday television show called Judge Jeanine Pirro as part of the network’s CW Daytime roster, with two episodes showing daily. Warner Bros. Domestic Television distributed the show, which was shown by default on all CW affiliate stations. Judge Jeanine Pirro has been approved for a second season, which will begin in the fall of 2009. Unlike the first season, which premiered in the fall of 2009, the second season was not limited to CW affiliates. The show was nominated for Outstanding Legal/Courtroom Program at the 37th Daytime Emmy Awards in 2010, and it won the award at the 38th Daytime Emmy Awards in 2011. The show was discontinued in September 2011 due to low ratings.

Due to the COVID-19 epidemic, she hosted the show from home in March 2020. She didn’t appear on TV for the first 15 minutes, blaming “technical issues,” with Jackie Ibaez filling in, and when she did, she was untidy and slurring her words, leading to widespread assumption that she was inebriated. She was even observed putting aside a drink with a straw after one ad break. Following the 2020 presidential election in the United States, Pirro was an active supporter of her program of bogus charges about voting machine fraud that purportedly stole the election from Donald Trump. On their shows, hosts Lou Dobbs and Maria Bartiromo also encouraged lies. Smartmatic, a voting machine company falsely accused of colluding with competitor Dominion Voting Systems to rig the election, sent Fox News a letter in December 2020 demanding retractions that “must be published on multiple occasions in order to match the attention and audience targeted with the original defamatory publications.” Days later, the three programs aired the same video segment denying the unfounded charges, but none of the three hosts personally issued retractions.
