I’ve no clue what that’s like; the government doesn’t trust me with that civic duty yet.
I mean the show.
Amazon Freevee’s Jury Duty.
4-time Emmy nominated Jury Duty.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, DON’T READ THIS, go watch it first.
If, like me, you broke into a nervous sweat at the realization that episode 8 was the finale I, Eggs, bring you some much needed relief.
Sadly, we can’t make another Jury Duty. Freevee’s best kept secret hoax is now its most watched show. BUT we can create a new, almost identical Jury Duty. Same premise, same idea, just a different setting that way no one will guess they’re on the show!
I bring you my Jury Duty spinoff…. TRASH DUTY It’s not Jury Duty (because everyone knows what that is and the whole point of the show is lost when people know what it is) it’s Trash Duty.
When you commit a first-time offense or misdemeanor or infraction or something like that, you might have to do some community service. (see Pete Davidson’s latest sentence.) Now, what if Jury Duty Season 2 was the exact same thing (a cast of actors who cause chaos to one clueless dude) but instead of serving in a fake Jury Duty they’d be serving in a fake Trash Duty.
The unaware civilian (Ronald stand-in) would be told the camera crew was doing a documentary on people with community service sentences, but little would he know the whole thing’s a hoax! The show would last for however long it takes the civilian to finish their court mandated hours. I’m also thinking that like the original Jury Duty, they’d all have to be sequestered. That makes it more interesting. Like maybe they picked up some toxic waste on the job and needed to be quarantined? Still working out the kinks. Thank you for listening to my pitch. Dear Westridge parent who might be an NBC executive, I still haven’t forgiven you for the Conan chaos 13 years ago, but I trust you with this. It’ll be the next big thing. (Also, I’m really trying to start networking so I can get this whole “tv show writer” thing off the ground, so I’d appreciate it if you’d tell all your writer-parents about my idea. They’re on strike; they’ve got the time.)
