Anthony Norman: When Reality Isn’t Reality

About this episode

Taylor Lautner interviews Anthony Norman about his unique experience on a reality show and its impact on his life.

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with Anthony Norman, widely known as the centerpiece of Prime Video’s Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat! Anthony shares what it was like stepping into the experience with no prior knowledge of the show, opening up about his background with temp work and how he ended up in such a surreal situation in the first place. He walks us through the interview process and the moments that, looking back, he almost wishes he had questioned. Anthony reflects on how real everything felt in the moment, the aftermath of discovering it was all staged, and the “emotional crash” that followed, while still maintaining genuine relationships with the cast. He opens up about what it was like seeing himself on screen for the first time, the biggest changes in his life since the show aired, how he prioritizes his mental health today, and what he hopes viewers take away from the show!
