So you have to use a slightly different process every time and we have to keep that very, very secret.”He added: “There are many more worlds of jury duty and many more iterations of it and I think it can go in any number of incredible directions.

A television icon. Jerry Springer is best known for his eponymous talk show, but his broadcasting career began when he was still a college student.

It’s not hard to picture the team behind HBO’s “White House Plumbers” finishing work on an episode of “Veep” and picturing that stellar comedy’s tone being applied to the idiots behind the Watergate break-in. (The director of all five episodes here is David Mandel, showrunner on that massive critical darling.) And as the country once again goes through considerations of impeachment and general malfeasance in the highest offices of the United States, the timing seems just right for a scathing look at one of the key points in our continuing disillusionment with the government.

is the unexpected hit series depicting what it's like to be part of the American jury process. But the conceit here is that the documentary-style show is fake, and the only person who didn't know it at the time was Ronald Gladden, an unsuspecting participant who thought they were reviewing a real case during the duration of filming. While Gladden eventually learned the truth by the end, the show has become a hit thanks to its quirky humor and the breakout star's even-keeled, good-natured demeanor.

James Marsden appeared on the hit Amazon Freevee series,, the two reunited for ET as they revisited their time together on the documentary-style reality series. And Marsden also came with a surprise for Gladden — one that called back to one of their very first interactions about the actor's co-star, Ben Schwartz. On the show, Gladden thought he was participating in a documentary about what it is like to be on an American jury, only to learn at the end of his experience the entire thing was fake.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic Biopics about star athletes or artists tend to have the same broad shape: the rise to achievement and fame, the fall from triumph (often fueled by some combination of addiction and ego), the restoration to a harder-won glory. A great biopic, like “Get On Up” or “I, Tonya,” will tease a profound portrait of the subject out of that form; a middling one will oversimplify the subject just to hit the right beats. But then there’s a film like “Big George Foreman: The Miraculous Story of the Once and Future Heavyweight Champion of the World.” That’s not a movie title — it’s the title of a parable. And it’s well chosen, since “Big George Foreman” is about a life that feels so outlandishly ready-made for the ups and downs, the lessons and inspirations, of the superstar biopic genre that you don’t even have to mess with it. The real George Foreman has, in effect, already scripted it for you.
