He lost the general election to Republican incumbent Amy Weirich by 30 percentage points. “Judge Joe Brown”: The attention on Judge Brown during the trial caught the eye of Judge Judy. The producers of the show “Judge Judy” approached him in 1998, and the show “Judge Joe Brown” was launched. He has had a number of celebrities appear on his show including Coolio and Rick James. The show premiered on September 14, 1998 and ran for fifteen seasons, ending in 2013. Judge Joe Brown was both the first Black man to preside over a courtroom TV show and the first Black person to preside over a long-running courtroom series. Ratings for “Judge Joe Brown” began to decline in the last several seasons of its run. In the 2013 February Nielsen rating sweeps, the show was down 20%. Brown was told his salary would be cut as a result of the ratings decline, advertising costs, and licensing fees. However, Brown refused to do the show under the new terms and shopped his program to other distributors.  It was announced on March 26, 2013 that “Judge Joe Brown” was officially canceled. Salary: In the show’s final seasons, Joe was reportedly making $20 million per year. During the show’s run, Judge Brown was the second-highest-paid daytime television personality behind “Judge Judy”. Judge Joe Brown was the second longest-running television jurist for many years prior to the cancellation of the show. The show is syndicated in the U.S. and air during daytime hours on Bounce TV.

He was later released from jail by a Circuit Court judge. His jail sentence ran from August 27, 2015 to September 1, 2015 at the Shelby County Corrections Facility in Memphis. During this time, Brown was running in the Democratic Primary for district attorney general in Shelby County, Tennessee. Some have described Brown’s outburst as a way to gain publicity for his campaign, while others say the magistrate was harsh for locking Brown up, and it should have never escalated to that level.
