Yes. She has a TV show and is called Anna Maria Wesołowska.

But isn't that fiction? (as with actors and a script?)

Aren't most of those in one way or another? A fair few of Jerry Springer's guests were paid actors playing a role.

Anna Maria Wesołowska was considered a 'paradokumentalny serial' whatever that means.

Thank you all for your quick responses. I searched on youtube for Sędzia Anna Maria Wesołowska and found a few short videos, most of them less than 0:30 length. Ms. Wesołowska seems like she's Polish equivalent of Judge Judith Sheindlin (a.k.a. "Judge Judy") and Judge Marilyn Milian ("People's Court").

Any Polish equivalent of Dr. Phillip McGraw (a.k.a. "Dr. Phil")? And Steve Wilkos? And how (un)popular would a Polish version of "The Jerry Springer Show" be? And which Polish celebrity or celebrities would best represent a "Polish Dr. Phil" or "Polish Steve" or "Polish Jerry"?

Oops I forgot to ask about a Polish version of Dr. Mehmet Oz (a.k.a. "Dr. Oz") and "The Doctors", here are random sample videos of both TV shows:

It's a matter of degree I think... Anna Maria seemed completely scripted with actors (cases loosely based on real ones, not necessarily from Poland)

Judge Judy - non-actors in a very staged and artificial setting (I lurve Judge Judy and think she's usually not nearly mean enough to the lowlifes in her court)
