James Marsden gets candid about his experience on the hit show 'Jury Duty.' He reflects on the fun he had playing himself but ultimately concludes that for the show's format to continue working, his involvement has to end.
Transcript
00:00James, I just did the interviews for Jury Duty Presents Company Retreat.
00:04Are you jealous about those kids out there right now?
00:08Nope.
00:11I had my experience and that was plenty.
00:14It was lovely.
00:15It went well.
00:15I thought it was going to be maybe a big disaster.
00:18Actually, that's not true.
00:19I didn't think it was going to be a disaster.
00:21I thought it was because it's never been done before.
00:24It's easy to watch the show and then play Monday morning quarterback and look back and go,
00:28oh, I knew all along.
00:29But it was really a big swing and it could have been a big failure.
00:34But I guess I look at every job that way.
00:36As much as fun as I had playing myself and sending myself up and satirizing Hollywood and celebrity
00:42and entitlements, I did enjoy that.
00:44I wish I could do that again.
00:45But I want the show to continue and I know that for it to be successful and to be effective
00:52that way, I can't really be a part of it anymore.
