Today's episode of Hot Bench is such a perfect example of what we do every day...

"It's your case. You need evidence."
"Exactly."
"And???"
"Um...well...about that..."

Epic prank live on the set.

A huge shout-out to the entire crew that made this dream happen for my little prankster.

I was waiting to post something more artistic or do a full on Emmy photo show but then I realized what a hilariously unrealistic concept that is....me? Extra time?

So, for now, LOOK WHAT ARRIVED TODAY. Ahhhhhh.

For those that don't know, this was Hot Bench's very first Emmy and it came in connection with a very meaningful year for us - Season 11, which was Judge Michael Corriero's final year on our bench. Judge Michael welcomed me and Yodit with open arms and an open heart, and he was a HUGE reason that I fell so in love with this job and this show.

So this one is for Judge Michael, but also for the incredible Season 11 LA-based Hot Bench team who earned this award 10x over.

Now...let's bring home another for Judge Dan and the Connecticut crew!

We have so many fantastic brand new Season 12 episodes that it's easy to sometimes overlook our older episodes.

But don't sleep on our repeats! Especially if you haven't seen them yet!

Today's second episode - a familiar story about a "loan" - takes a unique turn when the defendant claims his promises to pay were just "sarcasm."

Most expensive sarcasm ever? We'll see...
