Late-night hosts unite to support staff during strikes, with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon leading the way

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon offered to pay Jimmy Kimmel's entire staff out of their own pocket amid the ongoing Writers Guild of America (WGA) strikes. Despite their generosity, Kimmel turned down the offer, feeling it was not their responsibility. Affleck and Damon have a history of using their platforms to support talented artists in the industry, including launching an independent production company called Artists Equity. Kimmel also hinted at the possibility of stepping back from his show, but recently signed a three-year contract extension with ABC.
