Sheindlin, 73, stars in the court reality show Judge Judy, which debuted in 1996 and is currently in its 19th season. Sheindlin is a retired New York City judge and reportedly earns $47 million a year for handling small claims cases on the daytime program.

College graduates aren’t just confused about Judge Judy, however. The survey also revealed that 40 percent of students didn’t know that Congress could declare war and nearly half didn’t know that senators serve six-year terms and representatives serve two-year terms.

But it gets worse. In addition, half didn’t know that the U.S. Senate handles presidential impeachments, and one third of Americans can’t name one right (just one!) from the First Amendment.
