Her reported punchline was that the vice presidency did not pay enough for the work.
What Stephen Colbert reportedly asked Judge Judy
A December 2024 account by MarketRealist places the exchange during Trump’s 2016 campaign for the Republican presidential nomination. It says Colbert first asked whether Trump had taken notes from Sheindlin’s direct style, then asked whether she would consider being his running mate and vice president.
That distinction matters: the story is about a hypothetical political role, not a reported offer of employment or salary from Trump.
How Judge Judy reportedly answered
Sheindlin’s answer, as reproduced in an IMDb biography, was: “It would be nice if he had somebody who had good experience with government to act as a running mate. That would seem logical to me, and quite frankly, I don’t. I know the family court, and I know my little television courtroom, and I’m too old, and I don’t like to work so hard…and it doesn’t pay enough.”

- Dont Pee on My Leg and Tell Me Its Raining By Sheindlin Judy Getlin Josh
The line combines a practical objection—she said she lacked government experience—with the comic salary verdict. MarketRealist gives a similar but not identical rendering and reports that Colbert added that the vice presidency was boring. IMDb’s biography is corroboration, not an official transcript; the quotation has not been verified against an original recording.

Coverage places the exchange in the 2016 campaign period. A BroadwayWorld report published May 6, 2016 also confirms the running-mate framing. The precise original episode date is not established by these accounts.
No official transcript or original clip is identified in the cited coverage, so the wording should be treated as a reported quotation rather than a verified verbatim transcript.
