Jimmy Kimmel Live! helped some actors (er, Jeff Goldblum impersonators?) qualify for union health insurance on Thursday night’s episode.
Guest host Goldblum announced a segment for the audience in which he said that they would invite some working actors on stage to speak a few lines and get paid so that they could reach the annual income limit – only to have them all as Jurassic Park Star.

The segment follows a July casting notice from the late-night show that asked actors to be considered for the role if their income was within $1,401 of the SAG-AFTRA health insurance minimum.
In 2023, SAG-AFTRA will require its members to earn at least $26,470 from their work as actors to qualify for the union’s health insurance, with that amount set to increase by 2% each year.
This isn’t the first time Kimmel has tried to help working actors out. Two years ago, Kerry Washington guest-hosted an episode in which actors were invited onto the show to recite lines, once again just to claim their health insurance.
