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.
That’s actually very cool of them to do tbh. I’m wondering if it’s like how other shows do it though, where you could be waiting days or even weeks for it to be shot.
Can confirm. I actually did go on Judge Joe Brown. They paid a small appearance fee plus what you sued for. I was only there overnight though. Maybe because I was fairly local.
@@makepeoplemad that guy did 2 on the same show and one on another show right? The guy who pretends to be companies responding to people savagely, and somehow getting into interviews and doing the most? Lol
I would have declined as well, because my one small claims court case was put into motion because I wanted to punish the other party and hopefully change their behavior in the future; I didn't care if I was reimbursed. It would be counterproductive if they ended up getting paid and a vacation out of it.
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
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.
@@soulknife20 he barely even gets to that! He just does the same to the prosecutor, flips a coin and says “Thank you, Jury, for your service today. Court is adjourned.” I don’t even know which side my case is on! Is it heads or tails?! Like Steve, you’ve hosted shows before, I’m sure you’ve seen a coin flip once.
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
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!
@@mycenaeangal9312 Arbitration is basically a contract agreement that you'll settle an argument out of court. In many jurisdictions, as long as all parties to the contract agree with the arbitrator chosen, it doesn't matter if they're wildly incompetent. For the most part, anyway. If both people sign an agreement to arbitrate before Steve Harvey, a court can take Steve Harvey's recommendation and issue a judgment. I mean, provided there's an actual claim, at least. Believe it or not, the arbitrator making actual mistakes about the law isn't enough to void an arbitration decision a lot of the time, just as long as he wasn't biased.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
It was originally a joke based on one of the craft channels he used to make videos about having a “Gold” RU-vid channel, despite the fact that there was nothing “Gold” about it; like, nothing about it makes it premium or anything because you aren’t paying for it. IIRC it was a joke making fun of that
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
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.
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.
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.
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?
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”
@@sad_doggo2504i was listening to the video while cooking, hadn’t seen Derrick, and was immediately blown away by the absolute insane statements Steve was making💀
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.
@@nullskey8370 oh yeah there’s definitely shows and cases they have to test first and there’s definitely a few hired actors, but for my mom’s case the letter they sent made it clear they just wanted to put her straight on the show. I’m sure if they hadn’t liked her they would’ve cut her segment. not entirely the same but I’ve done a late night show segment before and for that they brought in and filmed more people than were needed and cut out who they didn’t need or didn’t work so I’m assuming with my mom’s case it would’ve been the same situation for this show if they didn’t like her but again all these shows work in their own way
I think there may be real cases with real people so it's more "natural", but ppl who go there have tips and things how to behave, what to say Edit. Sorry English isn't my first language. I hope it's understandable what I meant
@@kalimarieyork4869 if it was an accident than he was even more in character than i thought. But that's why I didn't timestamp it, i didn't want to draw too much attention
@@soulknife20 yeah for some reason he stopped the original series to do that judge one I guess watching people arguing about the father of their children got tiring after 30 years but still RIP to the legend
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.
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
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: "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!"
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 :)
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.
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 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
Court Monitor here, the idea of a 30 second opening is insane. Some cases might have 2 hours of preamble multiple times weeks or months before the case is heard for real just to sufficiently set up the case. 30 SECONDS?!
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.
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 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.
My teacher in high school was on Judge Judy and she showed the episode multiple times through different classes. Was really interesting background into how they work.
Just wanted to say this is the first time I've been constipated in my life and I appreciate the long and relaxing nature of Jarvis's videos. Although this might be TMI, you made this day not be a nightmare for me, so thank you!
The ranger joke sounded like a poorly disguised fat joke. Like he was trying to say he had no business trying to become a ranger cause he wasnt physically fit enough to do the job
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
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.
