Judge Jeanine Pirro wound up trending on Twitter Saturday night after a bizarre broadcast of her Fox News show “Justice with Judge Jeanine” led numerous viewers to question whether the host had imbibed a cocktail or six before going on air.
The show began about 15 minutes late due to “technical difficulties,” and when Pirro finally appeared, her hair was dishevelled while she appeared to slur her words.

Jeanine Pirro Draws Twitter Speculation After “Technical Difficulties” on Show. New name for show: Happy Hour with Judge Jeanine. — Mike Lupica (@MikeLupica) March 29, 2020. It hadn't been long after former president Donald Trump was cut off on Fox News but the network has done it again. Trump was in the middle of a rant with Jeanine Pirro when she drove their interview to a quick close. During his interview on Fox News’ 'Justice with Judge Jeanine' on Saturday, March 27, Trump was cut-off politely by Pirro. ‘Don’t you EVER accuse me’: Judge Jeanine Pirro drops Joy Behar (then drops her AGAIN) for claiming she trashed children at the border (watch) Posted at 9:27 am on March 28, 2021 by Sam J.
“Just the other… day the president talked, or was hoping, about the possibility of reopening everything on Easter Sunday, uh, in a way where we could kind of come out of this quarantine, as loose as it may be, that we’re involved in,” she said, attempting to zero in on a point but never quite making it there.

Another Twitter user shared a clip in which Pirro’s eyes seem to close as her head drops to the side in apparent drowsiness while a guest is talking.
At one point a heavily inebriated Judge Jeanine is slowly nodding off while her guest talks. A quick-thinking producer gets her off screen by throwing up a graphic of 'mental health tips.' The first tip is 'AVOID NAPS'!!!! pic.twitter.com/h16JkzldrH

Another shared a seemingly prescient clip from a “Saturday Night Live” “Weekend Update” segment featuring Cecily Strong as a drunk-as-a-skunk Pirro.

I must admit that I watched a full 10 minute clip of Jeanine Pirro tonight and yeah there’s no way she wasn’t drunk lol which is really really bizarre considering she’s hosting a cable news show that many lunatics view as gospel

Folks, Jeanine Pirro was drunk AF tonight…either that or she swallowed some pills chased by a shot of vodka.
I won't pretend that I am concerned about her—I think she's a genuinely terrible person. But if I were a Fox News producer, I'd check her into rehab. She's not well. pic.twitter.com/MPQFDaQv3c

On Sunday, Fox News issued a statement blaming “technical difficulties” for the shambolic broadcast, noting that this was Pirro’s first broadcast from home.
“Jeanine Pirro was broadcasting from her home for the first time when she encountered several technical difficulties which impacted the quality of her show, including the loss of a teleprompter,” reads the statement. “As we have previously said, we are operating with a reduced staff working remotely to ensure the health and safety of our employees in these unprecedented times,” a spokesperson said.
Pirro herself addressed the tsunami of tweets by claiming an IFB was “grabbing my hair and no staff around to notice,” also saying she “was in a truck that was not prepared to broadcast bec we had no connection, no visual and no teleprompter.”
No that’s an ifb grabbing my hair and no staff around to notice. I was in a truck where that was not prepared to broadcast bec we had no connection , no visual and no teleprompter.
