He’s one of Australia’s most controversial stars, but that hasn’t stopped Kyle Sandilands from thinking he can preside over the public’s legal matters!
The KISS FM star has had his Pilot Week show, Trial By Kyle commissioned for an entire series – and we’ve got a sneak peek of what you can expect.

The clip, released by Network 10 earlier today shows two women verbally abusing each other over a money dispute.
The premise of the show involves Kyle presides over his own courtroom, offering his real opinions on real disputes.
The new show is somewhat ironic, given that the shock jock has recently found himself in some seriously hot water over a distasteful joke about the Virgin Mary.
Following the radio survey break last week, Kyle made his return to The Kyle and Jackie O Show on Monday and issued a grovelling apology.
“Am I going to quit? No. Am I going to get fired? No. Am I sorry? Absolutely I am sorry,” he said. “I never intended to purposely upset anyone. Obviously, I have upset people and I am sorry for it. There’s nothing else I can do but to say, hey, I am sorry for that.”
Kyle claimed that someone published his mobile phone number online after his Virgin Mary comments and he received hundreds of angry calls.
“Some were very, very aggressive, a lot of people hung up … there were threats,” he said. “But the main thing I took out of it was, you know me, I believe everyone has the right to their own opinion and their own religious beliefs and no one has the right to take that away from them. But what I didn’t realise until I started taking these calls was that I’d stepped on the belief of other people and that’s what I’d done wrong.
“It was a joke and it was a hugely bad decision, poor taste. I didn’t plan that joke … I was just spit-balling live here. I didn’t realise the gravity of it and it really upset a lot of people. Even friends of mine were like, ‘Bro, how could you say something so dumb like that?’
“I get upset at the fact that I’ve caused a lot of grief to a lot of people. That’s never what I meant to do. I was just trying to make people have a laugh and I didn’t realise I was trodding (sic) quite heavily on very gentle territory for a lot of people.”
