The only way this show worked was because they found the kindest most charming guy ever

Somehow they found literally the nicest guy on the planet. He was pure, kind, caring, nurturing, and just all around a great human being. His parents should be extremely proud of how they raised him.

Its really nice they did a reality type show where the producers aren't trying to bring out the crazy in people, but give a genuine nice guy a chance to show people

Seriously... It was refreshing. At least we've come a long way from the invasion of toxic "reality" shows from the early 2000s. There's still shows like Milf Manor but at least people are receptive to something wholesome that just didn't interest viewers before.

I definitely agree with you. More in depth questions that you haven't heard a hundred times before.

I really want to ask him about the hours outside of what we see in the show. For instance, when he watches A Bug's Life with Todd or when they would all play video games together. I mean imagine those actors having to stay in character ALL NIGHT while hanging out with this guy, and having none of that be shown. I want to know what they talked about in THOSE moments.

Hes 6'6? Damn i knew it. Could tell when he was standing in a door frame and nearly was at the top! Really enjoyed the series, he's truly a sweet guy!

This dude really should get into movies, he has the movie star look and everything. His parents did a very good job of raising him. He was empathetic, kind, understanding but also showed great leadership qualities. I love how he saw "the inventor" in the weird guy and shows him the movie which contains a misunderstood inventor instead of seeing him as a weird creep (which lets be honest most of us would have and then avoided him like the plague). Instead he wanted to bring him out of his shell. Or how he was willing to take the fall for James and his turd, and the paparazzi incident and be the wingman for the nerd. What a lovely guy. He would make a great friend, I am sure.

With so much chaos going on in this country, this show brought back so much beauty to humanity! The actors, Ronald, cameramen, directors, absolutely everyone that was part of this show thank you ❤

I love how they tried to make crazier and crazier stuff but accidentally found the chilliest guy in the planet LOL

I just watched the show (bindged watched... which I have never done for any show. Probably helped that out was only 8 episodes) but I was enthralled. He should have gotten a million dollars! I finally understand how The Truman Show viewers were so invested.

Tge fact that the show and cast, and especially Ronald is sooo well received by the audience, shows that everyone is soooo over those aggressiv shows, people fighting., RHO…, Kardashians, etc. Hope that this will change the reality show landscape a bit!

This show gave us such a good laugh. Thanks Ronald for being such a good sport!

He is such a beautiful Man!

Ronald for president! A true diplomat and an even better human!

I loved Ronald while watching the show but love him even more seeing this interview.

This show was really good, the cast was perfect, Ronald was perfect...I rewatch the show often, just bc I love everything about it.

He is such a nice human being, I’m sure everyone with good heart is falling in love with Ronald by this point… I hope he will be in a movie or a project like that and get reach 😅

I think Ronald is terrific, but he most likely would do awful on "survivor." He is a relatively big guy. He needs too many calories to survive. "Survivor" is a game that favors small people.

Thank GOD Gandhi was there with direct and poignant questions - that Elvis dude was on 'old dude classic fm ramble mode'. This would have been nothing without her. Nice one, lady!! Thanks for asking the questions we all wanted to hear answered. He's such a decent human - we, the audience just wanted to make sure he was ok with it all. Thanks again Gandhi!

He is worthy.

Ronald's application from the Craig's List ad reminded me of a Kurt Vonnegut story where Stoney Stevenson, a kid from Indiana, enters a cereal box contest, and gets blasted out, into the chronosynclastic infindibulum.

Ronald is a damn superhero backstory in the making lol. Just a nice dude who became super famous for being just a super nice fucking guy.

Jury Duty is kinda like the “Joan is Awesome” version of “Joan is Awful” on Black Mirror. Kinda creepy

The thing is, most members of the general public haven't served on a jury before (and indeed, that was one of the criteria for the Craigslist ad).

They wouldn't be able to pull off the exact same thing twice though.
