The arc of watching James Marsden take Ronald from an obvious fan to being repelled by his "Hollywood big timer" act and then reeling him back in as a friend and doing the script readthrough sequence is really entertaining to watch.
Man I hope Ronald's mom is so proud of him and the great job she did raising him. I think he should be allowed to use to this for the rest of his life on resumes and dating profiles lol
God, I was so anxious during this show. I mean, it was hilarious for sure. But every time someone brought up how close they felt to each other, I would get sooo scared. Because how do you hear that and then not get hurt when the truth is revealed? Im so glad the cast and crew took the time to reassure him that they were also honest in their bonding moments and that he was able to accept it, but it was genuinely something I was worrying about the whole time.
fun show.., Ronald is dope. btw, I was once on a flight with Marsden to Oklahoma.., he was chilly playing it low key, but I recognized him.. great job everyone on the show. Ron/Ken might be my fave
They kept him away from Ronald and had him grow out his hair and beard. Ronald would have recognized him eventually. The only thing I know him from is Reservation Dogs, so it's possible that someone wouldn't know who he is. And yes I realize he's been in many shows but I've never watched them
James Marsden doesn't do what James Marsden does for James Marsden. James Marsden does what James Marsden does because James Marsden is... James Marsden.
11:05 - This is the problem a lot of heroes fail to realize, and normal people who want to be considered heroes need to realize… That’s all it takes to be a hero, just be a decent human being, and if you can do that every single day, then you are a hero!
The director said decency is really valued. Whether you agree with someone or not, you should treat them decently. Well, he should practice what he preaches because the low point of the series was portraying the group of people at Margaritaville who were wearing American flags as being racist. Average every day Americans are so tired of being called racist if they display a love for their country. That part of the show also displayed lazy writing. You couldn’t get more creative than that?
it's just realistic. most white supremacist in the USA wear the american flag and have a weird obsession with it. A major part of that is nationalism. I imagine that if you think your race is superior, then so is your country. I have a Betsy Ross flag and wasn't aware how much they've got attached to that until after I put it on my wall. Doesn't mean we have to submit because these shitheads are trying to take American symbols, its just that it's important to understand what those idiots do and how some people may get the wrong at first sight because of it.
Yeah, in my own life I've seen this occur several times, including in my own family. Cloak themselves, vehicles and any other property in the flag, and use being a patriot to attack others for their skin color, sexuality, gender, etc. So, maybe that behavior should change first, because it is far from 'American', we are a melting pot, and always will be.
Ronald's confusion at his heroism should be a wonderful sign for us all - by simply being a good human, you too can be a 'hero' figure for the people in your life. What a stand up and gracious human being
@@nzapa21 true I heard somewhere they did have hundreds or a thousand or more people apply so they did probably have a chance to narrow down to the best possible candidates.
I just KNOW the producers were biting their nails when Ronald said stuff like 'this is like a reality show', especially knowing it had been weeks at this point. Ironically I think James Marsden was actually doing method acting all day here, and I don't mean the cowboy character lmao. I NEED to hear more from Todd, his character was perfection
If anything, I think Ronald saying it’s “like” a reality show made it clear he thought it was real. If he suspected something was up, I doubt he would have come right out and said it.
It was so clever too to have James act as a decoy actor. He was so good at being the stereotypical full of himself drama queen that it allowed everyone else to pass as non actors. Really brilliant work from the creative team.
Yeah well and he also knew that this wasn't a real jury duty. It would be completely illegal to give a course of order to be sequestered under the threat of arrest for contempt of court unless you actually have the authority of the California government. Would have been illegal for them to give him any fake government documents to sign. Or use any government letterhead. So at the very least he knew this was not a real court and that the sequestration order was not actually a legitimate governmental order. And that does take some of the fun away from the show but people need to think logically about this for 30 seconds
@@michaelcorcoran8768there are ways to get around this, and clearly they did, because i do genuinely believe ronald didn’t think it was faked (to the extent it was)
@@michaelcorcoran8768 yeah ... I just completed a week of jury duty on an attempted murder case and there was NO request for my ID (I just showed up and said "I'm Juror #X") and I didn't have to sign anything.

What would have made the Margaritaville scene funnier if two guys in their mid twenties came in talking about how their on a road trip going to every restaurant
After watching last week's episode of The Other Two where they had a fake restaurant and everything that happened with that, it really puts into perspective how this Margaritaville stunt is so impressive and truly funny! All of those background actors definitely had to do a really good job of not seeming like actors.
This show needs its own category for an Emmy Award. I love how these unknown,, unrecognizable actors abaolutely nailed all their roles. Everyone involved was totally dedicated to this show and the outcome because it was truly a tribute to Ron for being the great guy that he is.
I felt he was a risky addition. He played a good role, but he's been in too many things that I felt they almost screwed themselves with that casting. @@danielwood8135
@@danielwood8135 well yeah, apparently kirk was supposed to be a bigger character, but ronald made a parks and rec reference and so they pushed him to the side so he wouldn't remember him
These past years have been tough on everyone. I just wanna have a show like this that distracts from the chaos outside and feels just a slice of relief. Thank you Jury Duty!!
I love how Ronald is a genuinely good guy. I’ve seen a couple of interviews with him, and instead of feeling duped, he has humbly carried himself with such dignity. I haven’t seen the series as live in New Zealand bit one day I hope I can. 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ😊
What was insane was the case itself. An crazy Karen suing her employee for falling into a t-shirt machine and crapping himself somehow ruined her entire business.
For sure, and I think the defense lawyer didn´t need to be that bad to the point of really looking fake - he could´ve just been a regular public defendant lawyer - showing little interest in the case and doing the bare minimum but doing something...
Totally makes sense but still super surprised to hear the comment about no music playing! I definitely would have noticed if no music was playing at Margaritaville 😂
anyone know how much the main cast got paid? Ronald made 100k but I wonder what the jurors made? Funny if a non-actor made more than the main actor jurors!
I feel like if they were supposedly filming a documentary, then they could’ve gotten away with cameras and crew and extra lighting stuff like that right?
I came to this video from watching the Good Place so the whole "orchestrate a scene and try to get him to do stuff but everyone else is fake" is a real theme for me tonight lol. Maybe I'll rewatch the Truman Show next.
I’m guessing Ronald is sought after by all the women in his community now. He was just the kindest most moral man I’ve seen on TV in a long time. And James Marsden is a babe!
So jury duty is like a real world 😂"Truman show" experiment?! I think ronald seems okay with it (and probably got paid well after) but i think i would be really angry if i was pranked like that ...
Yeah, the show was well done but fucked up. Ronald did say he had real paranoia issues after the show. Something like this happening to you could potentially have lasting effects but Ronald is so nice, and ofc, he does get a financial reward at the end- so I think they were positive he wouldn’t have a big negative reaction
@@LittleRedWhine I already have anxiety so this would be bad for me... but I guess he knew he was going to be on camera, he just thought it was a real Doc.
@@juicesnap Of course, he thought he was being interviewed about a jury he was on and recorded during jury duty. He didn't know everyone he interacted with was fake or that there were cameras in the walls of the places he went to outside the courtroom.
I think the magic being revealed at the end on how they produced it and the difficulties or close calls they had was an incredible way to end the season and you can’t too that
Marsden, absolutely showing that he was never really acting!😂 → referring to himself case "Marsden" → making sure to say that in the arm wrestle that he "controlled the situation", letting Ronald win.. 😑 There's just nothing more self-involoved than a Hollywood actor talking about playing himself.. → going home and taking notes on what "Marsden" would say... 🤣 C'mon, bro!! 🤣 (Just because your skull came out shaped like a walnut..!) Really, I'm just roasting him , cos they all did well.
Couldn’t they have just made like an hours worth of generic music themselves and played that in the restaurant?? Like how much would it have cost to hire a random band w a few guitars and drums to make some basic background music to play?
I find it hilarious that James Marsden had a journal brainstorming "what would James Marsden do?"
WWJD? What Would James Do?
My man was embracing Jack Lame
he’s so funny😭
He took being outside yourself to a whole new level
The arc of watching James Marsden take Ronald from an obvious fan to being repelled by his "Hollywood big timer" act and then reeling him back in as a friend and doing the script readthrough sequence is really entertaining to watch.
Shows how great of an actor he actually is
Chris Pine played James Marsden so well I completely thought he was James Marsden the whole time!
🤣😂🤣😂
I still don't know who either of them are exactly
But this is hilarious

Yeah I recognized him from Community. I'm kinda surprised they hired someone who has done a decent level of work
@@DavidOz316 I completely forgot he was in Community. I just remembered him from Parks and Rec and Brooklyn 99.
Ronald said he doesn't watch much content.
He is a parks and rec fan apparently

One of my favorite shows of all time
This show was perfect

Chris Pine 😂
Ronald is the dude, man.
love jury duty, hate Airpods Pro mic quality
At 7:09 there is a shot of the Logo on Ronald 's blue shirt. Does anyone know what it is?
I'm not familiar with the logo but it could be from the solar panel company he works/worked for. Just a guess though
Ronald looks 4 edibles deep.
Decency is really important - also allow me to conflate patriots and republicans with white supremecists.

And how they miss the Rainforest Cafe something awful.

I love that show

Binged it this past weekend. So funny, clever and different. Ronald is a great guy!
Ronald is a true everyman. His heart is bigger than a lot of men. I hope he's psychologically ok. He deserves the best.
What a great, original show. Been craving something new and fun like this!
Amazing stamina to always be "in character" and mixing improv with scripted moves.
I saw it all on in an afternoon. Some crazy LOL moments. Really fun and the actors were all great!

Listening to them talk about being “on” 5-6 hours a day is literally how I feel as a teacher lol
Ronald has a natural Jimmy Stewart like quality about him. Jury Duty was awesome

This whole thing was just amazing. 10/10. There’s a little bit of Ronald in all of us, let’s bring it to the forefront.
Ronald seems like the nicest person in the world...I need friends them him
Ok I know Jury Duty is up against a lot of heavy hitters for this year’s Emmys but I hope to god that they WIN
Edie was so fucking funny. They all were!!
i said james marsden is the most talented chris in the beginning of the video then he introduced himself and i screamed and my husband was jealous 😹💀
It’s the real Truman Show with Jim Carey
I love the director pointing out WGA.
I love how cute ronald is. Dreamy, easy on the eyes, and a genuine sweet guy. I just love him 💜💜
I had to look up the show quick to understand that Ronald was clueless about it being an actual show 😅
Pure gold from those Office related folks. Just makes sense.
this was the best show ive seen in years. It was like live action Ted Lasso
The character James Marsden's reminds me of Mike Rowe
I wish he would have considered his role on 30 Rock to be as iconic as some of his other roles 😢
Ron looks stoned AF - loved this show btw - Just Saying he's a hero though : )
Ronald is so pure and beautiful inside and out 💖

Small town. I substitute taught in that county for 13 years. The kids were amazing. Ronald is a good human.
I wouldve recognized Kirk Fox as Blade from Community
So the whole production team pulled a Truman Show on poor Ronald 😅
If you haven’t watched this…WATCH IT!
What would happen if he knocked on someone’s door while they were at rehearsal? How did they all leave everyday to practice without him knowing?
"You just gotta do a second season, you just gotttaaaaa"
Honestly my new favorite show
I’m guessing Ronald is sought after by all the women in his community now. He was just the kindest most moral man I’ve seen on TV in a long time. And James Marsden is a babe!
Can someone direct me to the side of the internet that does not like the premise, feels wrong and cruel
I wasn't expecting anything and I watched the whole show 2 times this week, loved it
