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😭
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
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
Pretend you're always being watched lol
Or recorded when interacting with strangers. Being kind sends out good karma imo!
I still dont know how they picked ronald as their regular person, but they did a good job. He’s a genuine guy.
Ronald replied to an ad on Craigslist, but I don’t know where else they posted ads.
he said it was a long interview process after he replied to the initial ad
He’s a beautiful person- a gem
@@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.
@@benp3592apply, to what ? To be a jury ???
Chris Pine played James Marsden so well I completely thought he was James Marsden the whole time!
🤣😂🤣😂
they really lucked out with finding ronald. he is truly just the kindest most genuine guy.
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. Supposedly, I "registered" online, but if I hadn't shown up they probably wouldn't have done anything to me ... the judge said about 1/3-1/2 of those called don't even report for jury duty.
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
Todd was so perfectly bizarre.
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.
Give this whole cast an Emmy immediately.
Ronald is such a genuinely kind and lovely person. They got so lucky with him, he was perfect for this
The JORF shirt scene KILLED me it was too funny
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.
Maybe it's just me but Kirk Fox is in a ton of stuff, popular stuff too. Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Parks and Rec to name a couple
@@danielwood8135 Mekki Leeper, too. Apparently checking to see whether he had seen certain shows/movies was part of the selection process for Ronald
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
@@delia9277 That makes so much sense!
@@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
James Marsden seems like the exact opposite of Jury Duty James Marsden in all the best ways
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
Parents*
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!!
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.
what other two?
@@noideaguy It's a show on HBO
@@gooblegopin now its called MAX
@gooblegopin wow its already on season 3 and I have never heard of it! Plus its got ken marino and wanda sykes. They should advertise it more!
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
And how they miss the Rainforest Cafe something awful.
I just binge watched Jury Duty this week, and in a weird coincidence, I watched Ted's Margaritaville video the day before I watched that episode.
Eddie Burback and Ted Nivison 😂
So weird, that JUST popped up on my recommended yesterday.
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.
“Hey everyone, I’m Chris Pine and I play James Marsden..” 😂😂
Edy Modica made me a fan with this show. I'll watch whatever she's in from now on.
This was such a chill, easy, fun, feel-good show. Loved it a lot!
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😊
Hi anne it is a fantastic show as an Australian myself i would be happy to introduce you to internet piracy
Binged it this past weekend. So funny, clever and different. Ronald is a great guy!
I love that they both said they would totally lose the arm wrestle lol
Other than maybe Nathan For You, this is the first time I've seen a show be a mockumentary AND a documentary simultaneously
I love that show
Ronald is a true everyman. His heart is bigger than a lot of men. I hope he's psychologically ok. He deserves the best.
I saw it all on in an afternoon. Some crazy LOL moments. Really fun and the actors were all great!
What a great, original show. Been craving something new and fun like this!
Ronald made this work! So wholesome. I love that this is not a prank show, but a Truman style hero’s journey
Ronald has a natural Jimmy Stewart like quality about him. Jury Duty was awesome
All the Margaritaville scenes are just ingenious!!! I love this show!!!
What a fun project to work on, and the main guy was so genuine
James Marsden, our unproblematic king
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.
i absolutely loved this show. the entire cast was amazing & ronald was soooo precious. ❤
Pure gold from those Office related folks. Just makes sense.
Listening to them talk about being “on” 5-6 hours a day is literally how I feel as a teacher lol
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
Ronald is so pure and beautiful inside and out 💖
I love that they tried so hard to get Ron to lose his cool and failed in the most wholesome way possible
Amazing stamina to always be "in character" and mixing improv with scripted moves.
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 😂
I hope this makes us all live this way when cameras aren’t a motivator, a true beautiful human❤
this was the best show ive seen in years. It was like live action Ted Lasso
Thoroughly enjoyed this show! They really got a good one with Ronald
I wasn't expecting anything and I watched the whole show 2 times this week, loved it
Same here!
Great show! You should rewatch the second time with commentary.
I love how cute ronald is. Dreamy, easy on the eyes, and a genuine sweet guy. I just love him 💜💜
Honestly my new favorite show
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.
Ronald seems like the nicest person in the world...I need friends them him
This show was perfect
Edie was so fucking funny. They all were!!
This show was soooooo good! I've been telling people left and right to watch!
fave scene
HES SO CUTE UGH what a good boy
I wish he would have considered his role on 30 Rock to be as iconic as some of his other roles 😢
this series was fucking brilliant.
Edy Modica is freaking AMAZING!
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
After over 400 videos, we have a winner. Astonishing!
Love ya Ronald!
Lol I was literally wondering about the vomit scene. Great insights!
Ronald is a saint
I'm suprised Ronald didn't recognize Kirk Fox. He's been in many movies and TV shows.
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
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
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 😹💀
I liked this show but omg I would need extensive therapy. Everything was so calculated
I had to look up the show quick to understand that Ronald was clueless about it being an actual show 😅
WIll there be a sequel? This was one of the most entertaining show everrrrrrrrr!
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
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...
@@MartaRC32But that wouldn't have been as funny.
The character James Marsden's reminds me of Mike Rowe
"You just gotta do a second season, you just gotttaaaaa"
I love the director pointing out WGA.
Seriously how high is Ronald in this clip 🤣🤣
I wouldve recognized Kirk Fox as Blade from Community
Ronald is the dude, man.
If you haven’t watched this…WATCH IT!
❤️
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
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!
Ron looks stoned AF - loved this show btw - Just Saying he's a hero though : )
edy modica marry me!!!
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?
A small documentary crew wouldn't have a budget like that. It would have raised suspicion
It wouldn't make sense for the cameras to be there at dinner where they are barred from talking about the case in public.
It’s the real Truman Show with Jim Carey
aww mekki sweet boy
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.
Chris Pine 😂
"Hi I'm Chris Pine and I play James Marsden" made me laugh unexpectedly hard
I’d love to know what Ronald’s upbringing was like 😊
Small town. I substitute taught in that county for 13 years. The kids were amazing. Ronald is a good human.
I loved the show but I still don´t understand how the jurors were summoned or called. Ronald volunteered to be part of a civil trial - which I believe was one of those trials outside the official court system - unless civil is different from criminal law in which a system randomly selects citizens who vote to be on jury duty. So, if it´s not based on an official jury duty call, James Marsdem could´ve walked away at any time... So, I wish they would explain better the juror summons part which is not clear to me...
because it wasn't real honey, it was all fake and so they did a casting process
❤🎉🎉❤🎉❤🎉🎉❤🎉❤
"I dont feel like a hero, i was just being a decent person".... you think studio execs will take this to heart and start being decent to writers and actors? Ironic huh
I'm gonna marry Ronald
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?
So the whole production team pulled a Truman Show on poor Ronald 😅
love jury duty, hate Airpods Pro mic quality
james marsden should be in the free madhouse a free madman
they definitley picked the right guy but most people would have a blast with this and just go along with it, the production crew and actors is the hero to pull it off, not the guy who has no clue of all the massive effort to do it and is just living his life.
I disagree. If Ronald turns out to be a piece of shit or became upset with the end result, it all falls apart and doesn't become a classic. The actors and crew all knew what they signed up for and could hind behind their characters, Ronald was in a vulnerable position.
Ronald reminds me of my husband.
Ronald looks 4 edibles deep.
I feel like Kirk Fox is kind of recognizable. He’s in a lot of stuff, small parts but still.
