Former Mayor Ed Koch, 73, brings his high-energy style to filling Wapner's old seat on The People's Court. Koch is a partner in a law firm, teaches at New York University, is host of a daily radio show, does another show for Bloomberg Television and is putting out his 10th book this fall.

He could reply that she was the cause, or at least the active partner, while he was merely the passive receiver, but that makes him seem like either an implausibly shrinking violet or a very cool customer.
