I Really Am A Bailiff
Folks, Officer Byrd is a real life bailiff who earned his B.Sc. degree in 1989 from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Byrd worked in the Brooklyn Family Court system before transferring to the Manhattan Family Court, where he met Judge Sheindlin. “We [the court officers] used to call her the Joan Rivers of the judicial system,” he said in a 2004 interview. “She was just hilarious.”

Sense of Humor
Even though Officer Byrd comes off as imposing in the courtroom, he’s actually got a brilliant sense of humor. Judge Judy says he’s a great impressionist. Although his sense of humor did almost once cost him his job, or so he thought. Back when he worked with Judge Sheindlin in New York, he wore her robe and reading glasses in order to make his co-workers laugh with a spew of Judyisms. And of course, the real Judge Judy herself walked in as he was doing so.
