Kimmel: Actors’ Strike Would Be ‘Insane’

Speaking on a conference call Tuesday promoting his 1,000th episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, which airs Thursday, Kimmel said he thought most people have “had enough of these strikes.”

Kimmel said that while the recent 100-day writers’ strike shut down his show and others, he would not expect an actors’ strike to have a similar effect.
