Randy’s successful media career

Born in Newberg, Randy Douthit, an optimistic person about the TV news future, began his minor business career in the news business. He believes the news is still alive and the only means people can rely on. He spent summers mowing grass, filling in as a local morning show director at 23. He recognized his potential as a director and a producer, where he did news and entertainment. He became an executive producer and director of such groundbreaking programs as Crossfire and Larry King Live on CNN.

Randy Douthit met Judith Sheindlin, a retired family court judge, dispensing justice and witticisms for 25 years, who presided as Judge Judy. Judy Justice, directed and produced by Randy, became one of Freevee’s highest-rated programs. Judy Justice became a win for IMDb TV and was picked for a second season, and it gained 25 million viewing hours, thus becoming Randy’s second foray. He produced and directed Judy Justice for 25 years, leading Larry King live and other shows.

Randy has worked on a variety of shows. In Portland, he directed a children’s show, How Come. In New York, he worked on feature stories and talk shows in Washington and Atlanta. Randy started the Crossfire show in 1982 and became the executive producer. He also produced Capital Gang, a weekly news show. In his later career, he had other shows like Judge Joe Brown, Jenny Jones, and Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

The pandemic posed a unique set of challenges that Randy needed to adjust to. Additional costs were added since safety procedures increased the shooting time. The studios, which were filled with paid extras, were left empty, too. However, the show’s pace continued, and it produced 120 show episodes in three months. There had to be togetherness to ensure everything ran smoothly.

Judy educated people about decision-making and the legal process through her shows, which became daytime TV. She is noted for her good humor and the best way of dealing with every case, and she is also known for her no-nonsense approach. Randy Douthit advises young people to do and enjoy what they love.
