If you haven’t watched Jury Duty on Amazon Prime yet, I give it my highest recommendation.
They go through the whole trial with cameras following them in and out of the courtroom the entire time.
Tons of insane, borderline unbelievable stuff happens, and Ronald completely takes the bait.
One of the actors in the show is James Marsden, who plays himself.
If you don’t recognize the name, you’ll probably recognize his face.
Naturally, Ronald recognizes James Marsden.
It becomes a really cool thing for Ronald to be on a jury panel with a big Hollywood actor.
The rest of the actors on the jury are playing fictional characters.
All just regular non-famous people with made up names.
I have zero problems with the show.
It was a fantastic show, and I was thoroughly entertained from start to finish.
I wish there were more episodes.
Except for one thing…
I’m still shocked that they got away with this.
The disrespect that the Jury Duty producers showed to one of the “random actors” was alarming.
That actor is Kirk Fox.
Maybe I’m wildly underestimating how famous Kirk Fox is.
That’s not nothing.
You might know him from playing Sewage Joe from the Sanitation Department in Parks & Rec.
He has also been touring stand-up comedian.
He’s a regular The Comedy Store in Los Angeles.
Here’s a clip from his stand-up special.
I know these aren’t like major credits or anything.
I’m not saying he’s A-List.
They already have James Marsden on the show.
If Ronald recognizes another actor, it’s game over.
The entire show is fucked.
All that money wasted.
All the hard work that was put in ends up on the cutting room floor.
Kirk Fox is a nobody.
We’re not even worried about it.
I’m sure this guy hasn’t watched Parks & Rec.
I’m sure he doesn’t like stand-up comedy, or listen to podcasts.
I’m sure he doesn’t watch Dr. “Put that washed-up-has-been Kirk Fox on the jury panel.
Promise this guy wont recognize him.”
He was great on the show.
I swear to god I knew Kirk Fox’s name before I knew James Marsden.
I just can’t get over the risk that they took to cast him.
Consider this a Kirk Fox appreciation blog.
I love your work Kirk.
You were great in the show.
I’m sorry they disrespected you like that.
