Question: why is gto called the judge?
Answer: The Pontiac GTO was introduced in 1963 as a 1964 model. The significant event of 1969 was the launch of a new Pontiac GTO model called 'The Judge'. The Judge name came from a comedy routine, "Here Comes the Judge", used repeatedly by Sammy Davis Jr. on the enormously popular "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In TV" show.
