A source close to Jesse Ventura confirms that the former governor is indeed negotiating to play judge for a daytime courtroom TV show, as MnIndy reported yesterday. Further, Ventura is heading to Los Angeles next week to shoot a pilot for the show, which is scheduled to debut in Fall 2009. It sounds like the show’s not entirely a done deal, though. Says the source, “Like any show, it needs to shoot pilots and go through the development process.”

Before flying out to LA, Ventura’s apparently got a more pressing itinerary — walking his daughter down the aisle. Jade Ventura, 25, is scheduled to get married on Saturday.
