One of my favorite shows of the year is, “Jury Duty,” produced by today’s guest, Nicholas Hatton. The premise of “Jury Duty” is that a fake trial is performed totally by actors, except for one person, Ronald Gladden, who believes he’s actually a juror and that the case is real. What was anxiety-inducing for Nicholas has yielded enormous returns, as “Jury Duty” is a huge hit and has garnered four Emmy nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Supporting Actor for James Marsden, who plays… James Marsden, Juror Number 14. On today’s episode, we pull back the curtain and take a deep dive into how Nicholas and his team of merry pranksters pulled off a televised magic trick that was all at once unique, funny, and completely engaging.
