They Let Steve Harvey Be A Judge (Again) 

I was actually approached by the Judge Joe Brown show 18 years ago to invite me on their show because of a small claims court case I was in. The other party declined to be on the show so we didn’t go but I found out how they get people on these shows. At least for that show they told me that both parties ended up getting what they were suing each other for and the show was just for them to prove who is “right”. They all get flown out to the city where the show is filmed and put up in a nice hotel there for a week. As a condition you had to cancel your case in small claims court to be on the show. So it’s free money and a week of vacation to embarrass yourself on TV.

Steve Harvey is a terrible judge? Who knew not going to law school was a detriment to passing judegement.

i actually cried laughing at “court awards plaintiff $5000 for being a good guy” like it literally sounds like a bit im losing my mind

As someone who works in the judiciary system i can assure you that some people have, in fact,included things like "did he even love me?" In their complaints.

Arbitration! Harvey's ruling is 100% legal and fully counts. These people essentially sign away their right to appear before an actual court of law and agree to allow "Judge" Harvey to decide the fate of their dispute. All court shows work like this!

this feels like a weird gameshow where people have to endure being roasted by Steve Harvey for 30 minutes to win money but someone wanted to dress it up as a judge show

Man the fat shaming and age-shaming is toxic. Also just because you’re a good person doesn’t mean people aren’t taking advantage of you. Ugh. Every time I try to give Steve Harvey a try he just annoys me.

I really appreciate calling out the fat shaming even of people we don't like. He has plenty of bad qualities that have nothing to do with his weight and that goes for everyone

Jarvis should become a judge instead

I love these "we and Jarvis watch a show for half an hour" videos. Please more of these

Steve: "Do you know what it takes to be a ranger?" Me: "Do you know what it takes to be a judge?"

My uncle is an extra in LA, always looking for work acting. He was on a court tv show in the early aughts, can't remember which one. He was the plaintiff and was suing a hypnotist for hypnotizing him at a party and making him pee his pants, thus embarrassing him. Of course everything was made up and he was just getting a paycheck.

Steve Harvey is like that one uncle that was funny when you were younger but you realize is just weird and cringe when you're older.

I met Jarvis yesterday, said "hi" and he started charging at me, and ripped off my limbs with pure rage, then he said "have a good day". What a great guy

I was about to leave a $10,000 loan at my maybe girlfriends house when I watched this, I made sure to write a note for the kids 🥰

Me: I wouldn't say I LIKE pizza, but I don't dislike it- Jarvis: You're lying for attention. Me: You're right.

No legal loophole, it is just binding arbitration with Steve Harvey as the arbitrator. You sign a contract binding yourself to the decision and agreeing to not pursue the issue further. It generally works out in your favor, though, since all "damages" are generally paid by the show itself and everyone gets a small paid vacation as well as a little bit of money for appearing.

I dont know what "it is, it is free" means anymore and it's starting to worry me, like we're all paying some terrible hidden cost for watching these videos and Jarvis is trying to soothe us so we don't question it

Jarvis getting Rhinoshield phone cases and Dragon Shield card sleeves mixed up while asking for a sponsorship is so funny to me

Jarvis calling dragon shield sleeves “rhino sleeves” and then asking for a sponsorship is just 👌 perfection

Stop letting tv hosts be judges 😭😭😭

You can go to arbitration and as long as both parties agree, you can use whatever means you want to determine the judgement.

Jarvis literally makes me cackle laughing. “I know what’s happening, you have a crush on Linda!” 😂

I would watch you react to this entire show and love every second of it the "awarded $5000 for being a good guy" had me in tears

Can we have a parody Sad Boys episode where Judge Jarvis and Judge Jordan have their friends on to tell stories of faulty judgement and have our judges access their sins in the style of Harvey?

WHAT CANT STEVE HARVEY DO ???!?!? judge apparently.

Technically, there are some states where you do not have to have a law degree or be a lawyer to become a judge. So long as you’re voted in, you can be a judge.

way to jarvis’s heart: apple picking and pizza ✍🏻 got it

When I was 18 I worked (via a temp agency) as a paid audience member of the Judge Mathis Show, which filmed in Greektown in Chicago. They'd tape about a dozen episodes in a day. Some tickets were set aside for fans of the show but otherwise everyone watching is being paid. Producers encouraged us to have big reactions to the judge's jokes

My mother is your biggest fan and not in the cute "my mom watches your videos!" way, she is insane for your content and demands that I check that you uploaded _every day._ We appreciate you.

I feel bad for Jarvis. He's never had a friend show him how to pick up girls

i hope jarvis gets justice for the emotional manipulation jordan put him through, and is given full custody of the podcast 😔🙏

I’m just. I interpreted “now it’s all it’s dark outside” as like, “Derek was 32 feet tall. Derek was built like a communal parking garage. He took up frame like the deku tree- not in a fat joke way. As in Derek is literally bumping his head on the sun”

my mom once got invited to be on a tv court show (I won’t say which). she had filed a small claims case against a neighbor after their dog attacked ours and they refused to pay the vet bills. nobody had applied for her or anything they just went through public cases and I guess hers caught their eye. she didn’t want to do it so I’m not sure what the actual process of casting these people past the invitation is but I know for the show my mom got offered it seemed like they wanted to just bring her straight in, give her a $500 appearance rate, and start production. some of these are definitely actors but I do believe a decent amount are real people simply because of my mom.

I thought when Jarvis said “DTR” he meant “do not resuscitate” 💀💀💀

I appreciate Jarvis filming at golden hour. True commitment to the channel

As someone who literally just graduated to become a ranger, hell yeah brother chase that dream of being Smokey the Bear

The "legal loophole" is basically mediated arbitration. Technically they're settling the dispute out of court through an agreement by both sides to agree to whatever "ruling" Steve Harvey gives. They probably have to sign something before and after the fact saying that they won't sue again over the same issue.

PLEASE do more judge steve this was hilarious. awarded 5k for being cool what an unexpected verdict

PLEASE MAKE THIS A SERIES. I need you to absorb some of the cringe so I can watch this

Jarvis using Jordan's government name makes me feel like he was really in character about that sad Boyz court case

Exhibit A: “you like cougars“ Exhibit B: “cougars got claws“ A + B = “if you were in a vulnerable state, you would not have allowed a cougar to claw you” Flawless logic from a man who can spend 10k without even noticing

Was really hoping he’d do the same outraged reactions he does on family feud every time something shocking happens in the case

I love Jarvis confidently calling those "Dragon shield" sleeves "Rhino Shield". Absolutely lost all nerd cred, truly unforgiveable

I think this counts as Arbitration, because they don't claim to be a real judge passing a legally binding judgement they are in the clear.

not jarvis mixing up rhino shield and dragon shield and then asking for a sponsor😭

This is the most fun I’ve ever had in my whole life! And it does look so nice in there! $5000 to Jarvis for being a good dude

My friend's a capella group was hired for an episode of this show! I've yet to watch it but I'm sure it would be hilarious to review and commentate on! EDIT: Also yes can confirm, it's all acting. Actors and performers are hired to be on the show and all their expenses are paid. Seems super fun honestly.

Judge shows are just televised arbitration. They sign papers agreeing to abide by the "verdict" on the show. If people don't actually follow through on them they would need to go to actual court.

Jarvis should be a judge...he'd be better tbh

Jarvis: "Being able to introduce your case in 30 seconds is public speaking skills." Me told I should introduce myself in 1-2 minutes, but taking way less than 30 seconds: "Wow! I guess I have public speaking skills after all!"

Derrick just drops off bombshells, she has brought her grandkids, they dated for 4 years, every time he talked it was wild

You mean to tell me Jordan's last name is NOT Adika????

Welcome to the Judge Harvey show: where the stories are made up and verdict doesnt matter! Please, Jarvis, do the whole season!

I love that you actively looked at the Dragon Shield box and multiple times said "Rhino Shield". It really sold the product to me. 😂

12:55 FOUR YEARS? And she called him just a playmate?! Dang that's a long play session. This woman is ice cold! 😂

Yes, please, more Judge Harvey reactions. This was such a fun, light hearted video, it put me in a great mood.

I don't want to objectify him, but Jarvis looks so handsome. The facial hair just looks so good on him.

I'm gluten intolerant, lactose intolerant, and I cant have garlic or onion and I still found a way to make something pizza adjacent. Pizza is love, pizza is life.

The reason she brought up him losing his job was to strengthen her argument that she wasn’t relying on him financially or using him as a wallet. Mans was broke trynna front

The Judge Steve Harvey intro gets me everytime🤣 "i dont have a law degree"

I feel like the “plus he lost his job” is her saying that it’s wild that he says he supported her

24:04 I love that everybody is so confused you can hear other people in the courtroom going ' what" pol

And THAT's why you always leave a note!

"I aint got a law degree" 😅 Let's make this man a Judge!

The pizza based romance movie you're looking for is the 2018 box office flop Little Italy, starring Emma Roberts and Anakin Skywalker with an Italian accent

loved the way you responded to them body shaming the guy

“Sometimes I don’t wanna go anywhere on my date… that’s why I’m single.” Relatable 😅

Please do more of this. I very rarely comment, but I want more of this without watching the terrible show itself.

thank you for keeping me updated on all of steve harveys silly little antics

I love these types of videos where it looks like you're having so much fun and we just get to laugh with you

I’ve told so many people about the “golldddddd,” echo in this. I find it hilarious every single time. 😂

So happy to be a premium member. It’s good to be Gold.

your previous steve harvey video is such a comfort video for me, this new one was such and treat and honestly I loved it getting dark outside, it felt like we were hanging out :)

Just like Judge Judy, both parties are compensated and the issue at hand is decided upon before the show even begins. Nothing is illegal about it, it is just tv after that.

the amount of times Jarvis says "I don't know what's going on" or "what is happening" is comforting

Jarvis' laugh is so contagious

Jarvis mixing up Rhinoshield, the phone case company and Dragon Shield, the trading card sleeve company

absolutely lost it at linda wandering into the rearview mirror lol

I literally screamed when I saw you uploaded another one of these. PLEASE GOD DO MORE

Holy shit how do they stay on the "lol he's fat" bit for so long?

I would love if you covered more episodes/cases because this is ridiculous lmao. I used to watch a few court shows growing up but none compare to this "kangaroo court" as you said lol.

Jarvis: Calls Dragonshield Rhinoshield Also Jarvis: "Call me~ ;)" I think Jarvis just negged a company for a sponsorship.

Okay but for real I don’t want to watch this show without your commentary. It was so good.

How it’s done on judge Judy (when it’s not totally made up) is they give the people who come on the show money for their appearance and they basically drop the actual real lawsuit and just accept money for coming on instead.

Fun fact: Steve Harvey looks way to fly to wear a robe 😎

I really thought the line about Steve Harvey being ready to fight, with his however many million dollar estate, was about to be about his teeth and not his estate. He must have spent money on those things, I wouldn't want to fight anyone and risk them.

I get such a kick out of how much of a kick Jarvis gets out of pretending to be Judge Harvey lol

Steve Harvey is one of those celebrities who....I just don't understand WHY they're successful. Like James Corden, who nobody likes but has had a successful career as a celebrity anyway.

AFAIK, these shows basically have both parties drop their claims in favor of arbitration, with Harvey being the arbiter. There's a pot of money to be split between the litigants, and if one person wins the case, their money is drawn from the money the other party would have received. The money doesn't actually come from the personal funds of the loser.

I still can't believe this is a thing. Also, great taste in sleeves, Dragon Shields are the best.

every time i get called premium my life gets better. thanks jarvis.

I think Jarvis should do Judge Jarvis where he judges Steve's judging. With a cool intro and everything

"Call me, Rhino Shield" - A person holding Dragon Shield sleeves

Fuck it dude at this point YOU should be a judge. 'Judge Jarvis Johnson' would work so fuckin good on tv man

you’re so right about not wanting to leave the house for dates. sometimes dates can just be chilling with a doob and some jarvis GOLD content

Omg omg omg a part2 !!! My prayers have been answered😭❤

This show is basically a live reaction set instead of a reaction video. Nothings real, none of it matters, but we get to watch Harvey react to all of this nonsense, perfect!

Jarvis: clearly shows the words dragon shield on the card protectors Also Jarvis: "Rhino Shield" Not a dig or anything, just found that funny

Jarvis, please do more of these. This episode was so funny. 😂😂😂😂
