I get the impression that James is purposely doing most of the talking because he knows Ronald dislikes public speaking as he's said in the show several times. Very sweet
I'm glad to see someone else that noticed this. Everyone keeps talking about how he wasn't given a lot of room to speak in this interview this but they seem to forget that he is just a normal guy. Like he said in the show he is probably way more comfortable sitting outside of the main light.
I don’t think they knew how great of a guy Ronald would be. His personality made the show even better than it would have been had Ronald not been such a sweetheart. It still would have been hilarious, but Ronald made it unforgettable 🥹
For sure! In the final episode when they show behind the scenes, the crew are constantly shocked at how perfectly he follows the archetype of the hero 😂
Both shows like this, Joe Schmo season 1 and Jury Duty got VERY lucky that the one they cast wasn't a secret piece of shit and were such genuine nice people.
Jajaja he probably only heard about people complaining about the original design and never knew the movie was fixed before release and people liked it. He knew Ben Swartz LOL
@@tristanlozuaway-mccomsey8396 i guess that's part of the magic lmao. they did announce a second season tho, I'm not sure how they're gonna pull that off unless it was filmed before S1 came out 👀
This show is phenomenal. I've watched the first six episodes about four times. Love everyone in the show. James is right, that everyday can only be one take. Says a lot about the quality of all the actors. Brilliant. I don't want it to end. Hope it launches these actors forward in their careers.
It's interesting.... The person that never wanted to be a star became the star. Ronald's facial expressions took me out. What great improv around him. I hope that Ronald was paid well.
@@TheLoneLlama James Marsden is the only well known actor there so he definitely made the most. The rest were no-name improv actors. It's not like he was surrounded by a-listers
@@fashionablechangeling1988 well when A-listers complain about not making 50 million. 100,000 kinda feels like a slap in the face. Like an amount they know us peasants would really appreciate but not anything close to what would be considered fair pay by even a B or C-lister. It would not surprise me if the other actors made more than 100k. It’s Amazon after all
I started watching the show just now thinking it was a mockumentary. Then when they said Ronald doesnt know, I was like aint no way. He's still an actor. This is all staged. Then I google and find his Linked In and am like holy fucking shit. And then I see this. LMFAOOO DEAD. this is brilliant. I'm so excited to watch. Also I fucking love James Marsden. And lol at all the prosecutors who quit to become actors.
Same! I thought it was a mockumentary until the final 😂 The whole time I’m watching thinking this guy (Ronald) is the best damn actor I’ve ever seen 🤦🏽♀️ Then I realized at the end that he’s a real guy. I’m going to rewatch now that I know the truth. Such a good show!
That doesn’t prove anything. Just becuase he wasn’t a known actor before this he very well could have been aware and playing a role. It’s proves nothing. Totally fallacy. The shows fake fake. The protection value, the lines… “ I heard sonic sucks” … it’s fake fake.
@@godivainc4593 I think so to. And just because he worked normal jobs before hand doesn’t prove he wasn’t aware the entire time. The production value and endless cuts does not seem like people simply being filmed all day.
The last 'reveal' episode, they left out clips of Ronald, a non actor, 'acting' to help James prepare for his upcoming role. Ronald was such a sport to do that. He is such a nice, adorable guy. So patient, accepting, loyal, kind, sporting, and respectful. On day 10, not wanting to hurt Noah's feelings, he held back from him that his girlfriend had in fact broken off their relationship. He deserved every dollar of the reward for being a 'hero.'
"On day 10, not wanting to hurt Noah's feelings, he held back from him that his girlfriend had in fact broken off their relationship." To be fair, I think that's kind of shitty
They hit the jackpot finding a wholesome guy. If that was one of my exes, He wouldve talked shit on everybody behind their backs, & slept with Janine on day 2 😂😂😂
Whoever was that cast this man needs a raise 😂 he’s just perfect! Handsome enough for Tv, cleaver enough to just feel something was off but also willing to just roll with it, really naturally funny (like how do you come up with that excuse on ep1) and also just really a NICE guy! That’s rare
I love how James doesnt take himself too seriously, he-s a well known actor who has done many great films and when Ronald said he had to google him James smiled and clapped, many a celebrities wouldve been offended. Also ive been watching him since party of Five (he was the original Griffin)
I am a law student doing my assessments right now. Its been so refreshing watching this after I am done for the day for a giggle. Well done. I really hope there can be a season two.
There’s a show from the late aughts called The Joe Shmoe Show, and it has such a similar premise, this time under the guise of a reality show. The “mark” is also an incredibly wholesome guy who ended up being such a sweetheart and all around good guy that they failed the show to give him a “hero” edit. A pre-SNL Kristin Wiig was one of the castmates. I have no idea if that appeals to you, but if you need to take it easy, it’s fun to watch.
They had 2500 applicants so it makes me wonder if they filmed other seasons at the same time. But, even if they didn’t, there upis still a chance that the concept would work on other people. i just heard about the show this weekend so I’m sure they can find people who haven’t watched or heard about the show to do future seasons.
i think it was intentional, since he's not in this business and don't know how to answer those questions without spoiling anything and to not make him even more uncomfortable. but i wish they'd ask him more about himself and like did he ever wanted to be an actor or if he want to now or something like this
Nah but if Ronald genuinely wasn't in on it, it must be soo weird for him. Like all these ppl he thought he was getting to know but actually it was all acting...
Yes! I loved the show but the entire time it had a sting of sadness lol he was so happy to get to know the jury. When they were on the bus to the factory he was bummed bc the team was split up.
Just got done as a juror in a civil trial. This is soo on point 🤣🤣. Especially when Barbara was sleeping. Myself and the other jurors was caught sleep in the juror box. 💀💀💀🤣🤣
They show in the last episode that he became friends with most of them after the show ended. Bro got paid, now has a legendary story he can tell, and had a good time.
Ronald G. is the best! I wasn’t surprised at all when I found out that he is a project manager because he encompasses every aspect of that role with his ability to bring people together and manage them unbiasedly.
@@yuh42011 You're right, and I bet Ronald agrees. This wasn't some moral test, he knew the group was being filmed for a documentary, they all stared into a camera and talked about each other, so of course he was nice to everyone. IMO they are pretending this because they feel bad they duped him and want to make it seem like something more noble than a prank show.
@@yuh42011He had done a lot of things that most people wouldn’t have bothered to do, he took the weird guy Todd under his wing and showed him the movie A Bugs Life to inspire and instill confidence in him. He didn’t have to do that and that part wasn’t filmed (to his knowledge), so he didn’t just do it for the cameras.
Every interview allows both men to exhibit how truly sweet they both are. Jury Duty was such a creative concept! I cannot get over how successful it was!
Absolutely loved it, binged every episode. Ronald was the best addition, sublime casting. It was funny, heartwarming and all round fantastic entertainment. Well done, I loved it!
It's so funny that Ronald was a Ben Schwartz fan who was most well-known for his character Jean-Ralphio on Parks and Rec. But then he had no clue that the juror Pat McCurdy was really the actor Kirk Fox who also starred in Parks and Rec. Although nowhere near as important or as featured a character as Jean-Ralphio, I still believe Kirk's character Joe was quite memorable in the 8 episodes he appeared in. If somehow you are reading this comment and still haven't seen every episode of Jury Duty or Parks and Rec, what are you doing with your life? Both are hilarious shows that are worthy of revisiting again and again.
I can't wait for this show, I love fucking James Marsden, plus the mockumentary is amazing for comedy and it has been revolutionized by The Office (UK, US and the other international adaptions of the show) and since then, it's inspired other shows like Parks and Rec, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, British show This Country, which was co-produced by Hulu and BBC that ran for three seasons and 20 episodes, pretty short, HBO Max's Stan Lets Flats, the HBO sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm, Wellington Paranormal and its spinoff sister show What We Do in the Shadows, based on the 2014 New Zealand-American of the same name from Taika Waititi, the director of Thor: Ragnarok and Thor: Love and Thunder as well historical war satire comedy Jojo Rabbit, the short lived DC sitcom workplace series Powerless that aired on NBC in 2017 and ran for one season of 12 episodes before getting cancelled, pretty shocking, but whatever, looked pretty good and I haven't actually seen it before, but that's sad because I would've loved a good DC superhero themed sitcom in primetime on TV right now, that's sweet, the British comedy series People Just Do Nothing, the recently cancelled Netflix sitcom Blockbuster, named after and yes, focused on the very same company they drove out of business a few years ago, and even new shows like Abbott Elementary, and the US remake of This Country on Fox called Welcome to Flatch, about a pair of siblings named Shrub and Kelly documenting their lives and the daily happenings of their town called the Flatch, and it's a pretty good show to be honest! The mockumentary genre is pretty hot right now and I like because it allows for some pretty unique storylines to flourish in this style! And it's awesome, and I can't was for James to bring his signature brand of comedy to the table with show, it's going to rule, at least for me, in my opinion! It'll be great to see what he does in this show! Because he's just so good, such a funny guy and I like all of his other work in live action, too! He's been in animation before with The Boss Baby, which is for kids mostly, but it's alright, but I really like his live action work, he does such a good job there in that department! He's incredible! It's just genius, man!
Curb came out year before UK office. The genre itself first appeared on TV in 1957, long before any of the series you’ve mentioned. What we do in the shadows was a film first before it’s American tv series spin off and NZ tv series wellington.
Its been like 20 years since I last saw Mario host ABDC and this guy has not aged a day..... and this show was friggin HILARIOUS, absolutely amazing, RECOMMEND 20/10 for anyone who loves a good laugh or who enjoyed The Office humor !
The female interviewer annoys me, saying he’s a ‘prop’ and ‘passed the test’ - weird way of interviewing some who seems so kind, normal and ‘not showbiz’ - Mario did great
Maybe she’s talking about herself since she was on MTV Road Rules season one and her cohost is AC Slater and she’s interviewing an A-list movie star. I love her but I agree she’s being kind of weird in this interview.
I watched it more than once. Now I'm still searching for something similar. Listening to Marsden would be much more interesting than the hosts playing the headline game. I do wonder if there is another movie down the road. This really was good. We need more of this. 😂😂😂
Awesome show, but i wouldnt exactly call it original. Spike tv had a show call The Joe Schmo show in 2003 , which essentially was the same thing , but with reality show theme instead of jury duty. Everyones an actor but one guy who thinks its all real
What was great about this show was the actors. They were odd but not too odd where you would know something was going on. And Marsden was great at just being a Hollywood douchbag. You can imagine him really being that guy and even know I’m not so sure he is not.’
James is sooo cute, he has this great smile it he has this youthful smile.. the atmosphere reminds me of the Office. Not sure how Ronald really thought about James during the show, does he really think that James is this self-absorbed actor? lol.. Ronald seems really nice. I think they are trying to pick a guy is humble and that wouildn't mind bringing up and the audience will love. Love the show. its funny because the show is scripted but... can go anywhere because of Ronald.
That’s the beauty of real life vs fiction. He can believe someone is an entitled rich actor but still have redeemable qualities. Really it wasn’t until the cake flip incident that I think Ronald started to actually dislike him
I watched Jury Duty but, I didn't know it wasn't real. I wanted to stop watching it because it was just stupid but, I had nothing better to do and kept watching because Ron Gladden reminds me of my handy man who did all the chores around the house. after my husband died. His name is Ron too. Every day when he's leaving he says "If you need anything just give me a call". When I went into the hospital Ron visited me every day for almost a month. His family is now my family. Ron and his wife do my food shopping because I'm now disabled.
I know Ronald is sweet, but I see him a little more edgy, like with some tatoos gauged ears and fro hawk but in a christian alternative band like Kutless 😅
It's so uncomfortable how Mario keeps trying to ignore Ronald and show only his interest in the showbiz stuff Marsden is doing, wasting precious time to know the real star here who's kind he won't usually have on his frivolous show. He clearly didn't see the show, while Kit did and tried to be more relatable and nice to Ronald.
This show got pretty bad reviews but, for me, I enjoyed more than most of the stuff they put out there these days. It was creative, somewhat unhinged, and just plain entertaining. My favorite part was the "I'm racist" scene.
What would they have done if Ronald had somehow worked out what was going on halfway through? Cos surely money-wise, that'd be pretty shit. Like that's a big risk. I wonder if they'd have had him pretend he still didn't know.

It really was
Definitely my favourite moment! He is so caring!

He’s awesome. I love him and the show is awesome as well !!!!!
Incredibly wholesome moment

His interview on kfc radio he didn’t seem to be nervous at all and was an amazing guest!
@SaltyChip to be fair he felt alone with the other two
Also because James likes to be in the spotlight. He wasn't really acting in Jury Duty.
@@thejason347 you know James personally? Lol
I don’t think they knew how great of a guy Ronald would be. His personality made the show even better than it would have been had Ronald not been such a sweetheart. It still would have been hilarious, but Ronald made it unforgettable 🥹

im only on episode 2 but the guy shitting on the sonic movie to james' face then coming back the next day saying it was great was hilarious
The best thing was James’s face after he said it
I died at that haha. I thought that was too good.
Jajaja he probably only heard about people complaining about the original design and never knew the movie was fixed before release and people liked it.
He knew Ben Swartz LOL
casting team did a great job selecting ronald, he's the kindest guy ever and made the show a lot more enjoyable
I totally agree but I’m curious if they would admit to some if it being luck. Like could they have asked for a better fella?
@@tristanlozuaway-mccomsey8396 i guess that's part of the magic lmao. they did announce a second season tho, I'm not sure how they're gonna pull that off unless it was filmed before S1 came out 👀
@@King_Jonghyun I was thinking about that, and the only way to do it is have hidden cameras. Having a doc crew would give up the gyst.
They somewhat socially engineer things
Lol Ronald has this face throughout the whole interview like “I never asked for any of this” 😂😂😂
Yeah he's on like interview 200 and he's not used to it. It's gotta be so energy sucking, I mean it is even for actors lol. 😅
I had no idea how funny marsden is!!! His faces literally made the show. He was hilarious. Entire cast was pure gold. I love this show so much.
When he was being “Caleb” I was dying laughing
@@pamelalansbury94 “Too rich for my blood” 😆😆
I loved him in Hop, I don't know why nobody mentioned that one 😂
He was the best part in the movie Enchanted. He's really good in comedy.

I was struck by how wrong this could have gone, it took so much planning and talent!
I’ve watched it five times. I love it.
It had to have been so fun for him bc a lot of it is improv.
Agreed! Genius concept! Cant wait how they are pulling off a 2nd season without people getting suspicious
It's interesting....
The person that never wanted to be a star became the star. Ronald's facial expressions took me out. What great improv around him. I hope that Ronald was paid well.
They gave him 100k at the end!:)

"On day 10, not wanting to hurt Noah's feelings, he held back from him that his girlfriend had in fact broken off their relationship."

i don’t think they’re doing anymore seasons sadly
@@anisaismael5152 i think maybe all of the episodes hadn't come out yet when they said that

why didn't they ask him the most obvious question of how he felt finding out it was a show lol. I want to know his genuine reaction.
im hoping we get to see it on the show fr
to not spoil the rest of the episodes
I wanna know this too and do we get to see his reaction lol

but i wish they'd ask him more about himself and like did he ever wanted to be an actor or if he want to now or something like this
He talks about it on kfc radio. He said he was confused on how to feel and it took him a couple weeks to fully wrap his head around. Look it up
Nah but if Ronald genuinely wasn't in on it, it must be soo weird for him. Like all these ppl he thought he was getting to know but actually it was all acting...
THIS! It really trips me up I would be like??? So we aren't really friends???
Yes! I loved the show but the entire time it had a sting of sadness lol he was so happy to get to know the jury. When they were on the bus to the factory he was bummed bc the team was split up.
I liked this show, but Ronald is 100% in on it
I don't think he was in on it, also, as the actors said, 90% of the "acting" was just them being themselves
I think he was and is personally. The production value does not look like one takes. The office like nature of it. Its highly highly scripted
I have to say one of the best TV shows I have seen in ages. It was soooooo good. I hope they make another season.
Lmaoo "attoneys who gave up their CAREERS to become actors"
hahaah it's really giving up their careers cause getting into acting it's so hard
The only reason this show worked so perfectly well was because of Ronald, he is genuinely such a good guy
Just got done as a juror in a civil trial. This is soo on point 🤣🤣. Especially when Barbara was sleeping. Myself and the other jurors was caught sleep in the juror box. 💀💀💀🤣🤣
Did You do drugs? To stay avake?
James Marsden is incredibly talented. I will never forget him in "Hairspray." His performance & dance in "The Nicest Kids in Town" was incredible.
This show was so funny can't wait for part two
Never heard of the show, but I love James in movies.
it’s like american vandal and nathan for you had a baby and created this show. it’s beautiful.
Ah, American vandal😂
Kinda sad if you think about it. He probably thought he found friends for life, only for them all to be actors ‘pranking’ him.
especially in this interview they r barely talking to him i feel bad, i would have lost interest
they called him a prop 4:04
He says he's still friends with some of them in another article and watches their live performances
Oh shut up. Always a negative person
They show in the last episode that he became friends with most of them after the show ended. Bro got paid, now has a legendary story he can tell, and had a good time.
These actors were incredible to keep the ‘show’ going for so any weeks. Incredibly well cast and performed. Loved the show.
I’m obsessed w this show it’s hysterical we need more
Ronald G. is the best! I wasn’t surprised at all when I found out that he is a project manager because he encompasses every aspect of that role with his ability to bring people together and manage them unbiasedly.
Honestly the most unbelievable person on the whole show was Ronald because he was so incredibly kind.
How was he kind? He knew he was being filmed from the get go, and all scenarios in the script were written to make him seem like a hero

Why does she keep saying "MOVIE"? She doesnt know its a show or something? Or does she think shes on a movie during this interview?
I hope ronald has lots of success after this even tho he did not know he was actually filming a show lol
Ronald seems so uncomfortable and a little upset …I don’t blame him. I mean how far off is this from the Truman show? He probably feels betrayed😔
It was 3 weeks of his life and he was paid . Hardly a Truman Show
Think it's more he's out of his comfort zone, remember he's a normal guy, he's not used to TV environment
Probably anxiety on being on a big talk show when he's just a normal dude
Ron definitely gives off Jim from the Office vibes

The female interviewer annoys me, saying he’s a ‘prop’ and ‘passed the test’ - weird way of interviewing some who seems so kind, normal and ‘not showbiz’ - Mario did great
Maybe she’s talking about herself since she was on MTV Road Rules season one and her cohost is AC Slater and she’s interviewing an A-list movie star. I love her but I agree she’s being kind of weird in this interview.
This show only worked because they found the kindest most charming young man ever. If it were me, things would have gotten ugly
One of the sweetest gestures Ronald offered (and there was many) was when he watched the Bug's Life with Todd. Melt my heart kindness.
He's a kind, smart, good looking lad. He'll go far. Just binged the show, it was so good.
You just know poor Ronald was half expecting them to be like “hahaha got ya! This isn’t a real talk show, I’m an actor! We all are!”
I watched it more than once. Now I'm still searching for something similar. Listening to Marsden would be much more interesting than the hosts playing the headline game. I do wonder if there is another movie down the road. This really was good. We need more of this. 😂😂😂
Ronald still looks confused in this interview 😂
I need more seasons of this or similar shows. Reminds me of the Truman show, I love it!
Best show I’ve binged in years! Hilarious!!
This show is SO FUNNY!!! I laughed out loud so many times
"... on Craig's List." Nathan Fielder's involvement confirmed.
Awesome show, but i wouldnt exactly call it original. Spike tv had a show call The Joe Schmo show in 2003 , which essentially was the same thing , but with reality show theme instead of jury duty. Everyones an actor but one guy who thinks its all real
These actors are the best actors I’ve ever seen, they had me fooled
2:40 Yes, a reality show centered on a real “Joe Schmo,” so to speak, is *very* original
Omg I’ve been in love with James since X-MEN and I would’ve looked like a crazy fan girl on the documentary 😂😂
Omg me too he’s hot 🥵
Why didn't they ask more questions from Ronald? I'm way more interested on his perspective on the show
Of all the movies to bring up, he said Sonic?? 😂 The man was in Westworld!! X Men!!
Watch the show, he said he remembers him from X-Men.
They said a lot of things they just talked about Sonic more, but X-men is what Ron actually says when he recognizes him
@@Aardydarling But then he told Ronald dont lead with Xmen because he wasnt the star.
This was such a brilliant and fun show. Loved it! ❤
I just saw episode one - SO funny. The actors are so believable.
He's such a sweet dude. Honestly, such a wholesome dude.
Ronald is such a good person
This has the office written all over it
James is swoon-worthy.
What was great about this show was the actors. They were odd but not too odd where you would know something was going on. And Marsden was great at just being a Hollywood douchbag. You can imagine him really being that guy and even know I’m not so sure he is not.’
This was one of the most fun and creative shows I'd ever seen. Loved it.
Binged it today , loving it cant wait for more
The casting of this show is perfect! Well some, casting director! You deserve an Oscar! 😂❤
James is sooo cute, he has this great smile it he has this youthful smile.. the atmosphere reminds me of the Office. Not sure how Ronald really thought about James during the show, does he really think that James is this self-absorbed actor? lol.. Ronald seems really nice. I think they are trying to pick a guy is humble and that wouildn't mind bringing up and the audience will love. Love the show. its funny because the show is scripted but... can go anywhere because of Ronald.
That’s the beauty of real life vs fiction. He can believe someone is an entitled rich actor but still have redeemable qualities. Really it wasn’t until the cake flip incident that I think Ronald started to actually dislike him
If just most people in California were like Ronald it would be completely a different state
this isn’t original at all. nobody remembered the joe shmo show early 2000s
Hilarious show and big love to the patsy! He’s a great kind empathic person ❤. Mad love guy, and I’m so happy you won that prize!
James you should have let Ronald talk more
I loved James and Ronald working together! wonder how they gonna do a 2nd season?
James better take Ronald to the premier of the Pop-Tart movie.
It’s annoying having them ask questions that show they didn’t watch it at all
Jesus both these interviewers are colliding
The idea that James Marsden and Ronald both hanging out after the show is noice
really brilliant show, binged it in one day absolutely brilliant.
Hilarious
Can’t wait for more episodes! 😂
This show was fantastic. Ronald really took a whole whole lot crap from everyone and still ended up being a sweet and good guy
So cringe to call this man a prop and then ignore him for 95 percent of the interview.
Or maybe they want to prevent Ronald from admitting he was in on it the entire time
I watched Jury Duty but, I didn't know it wasn't real. I wanted to stop watching it because it was just stupid but, I had nothing better to do and kept watching because Ron Gladden reminds me of my handy man who did all the chores around the house. after my husband died. His name is Ron too. Every day when he's leaving he says "If you need anything just give me a call". When I went into the hospital Ron visited me every day for almost a month. His family is now my family. Ron and his wife do my food shopping because I'm now disabled.
I know Ronald is sweet, but I see him a little more edgy, like with some tatoos gauged ears and fro hawk but in a christian alternative band like Kutless 😅
It's so uncomfortable how Mario keeps trying to ignore Ronald and show only his interest in the showbiz stuff Marsden is doing, wasting precious time to know the real star here who's kind he won't usually have on his frivolous show. He clearly didn't see the show, while Kit did and tried to be more relatable and nice to Ronald.
They didn't ask him anything for 4 minutes so he just had to sit there listening. Super rude of the hosts.
I will check it out.
This show got pretty bad reviews but, for me, I enjoyed more than most of the stuff they put out there these days. It was creative, somewhat unhinged, and just plain entertaining. My favorite part was the "I'm racist" scene.
Love the awkward pause from James and Ronald that would follow every time the female host referred to the show as a movie 😂
Umm no, it's still a prank but ok
What would they have done if Ronald had somehow worked out what was going on halfway through? Cos surely money-wise, that'd be pretty shit. Like that's a big risk. I wonder if they'd have had him pretend he still didn't know.
Those chair pants are the most hilarious thing ever.
This show is beyond hilarious 😂
Ronald is such a genuine good guy.
IMO…Great series that’s well worth binge watching start to finish.
It was such a great show I watched it twice in a row! I wish there was an extended version!
OMG .. my daughter got home from college and said "You HAVE to see this show!" I'm hooked! It's HYSTERICAL!
