‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ Once Again Aims To Help Working Actors Get Health Insurance With New Casting Notice


Jimmy Kimmel wants to help actors get health insurance with a new casting notice for his talk show

They must be within $1,401 of meeting the minimum requirement to be considered for the role, according to the listing, which is currently circulating on social media and was confirmed to Deadline by a source close to production. Two years ago, Kerry Washington guest hosted an episode where actors were invited on the show to deliver a line solely for the purpose of claiming their health insurance. Sources have told Deadline that, in addition to the reduction in spending, studios were also hedging their bets by treading lightly with new productions in case those unions went on strike.
