Cheyenne Jackson has launched the "One Job Away" campaign on Instagram, which spotlights actors on the verge of losing their SAG-AFTRA health insurance if they don't meet the guild's annual minimum of $28,000 in earnings. • Jackson received "hundreds" of submissions in the less than 24 hours after launching the campaign. • Last year, Jackson was "one gig short of getting my insurance." He reached out to friend Kathy Bates to see if she could get him any role on "Matlock" because he was just $6,000 away from meeting the guild's minimum to qualify for health insurance. • “She told me, ‘I have good news and bad news for you. The good news is, I got you a role on “Matlock.” The bad news is, you have five lines and you don’t have a name.’ I was like, ‘Sign me up! No ego amigo here.’ I played no-name detective. I searched a crime scene and I said, ‘Hey, Sergeant, we got some blood over here.’” • Jackson tells Variety: "The bigger conversation is just the way that residuals and SAG are set up. I make OK money on residuals, but a lot of that residual does not go toward your SAG dues. You’re essentially starting over every year. An actor can make $500,000 one year, but when they don’t make much the next year, the $500,000 doesn’t help with the following year’s health insurance minimum.” variety.com/2026/film/column…

John Oliver: “It does feel that the Republican Party has been getting way too comfortable with some, at best, Nazi-adjacent sh*t.” “Nazis getting power doesn’t historically bode well for anyone, including, for what it’s worth, Nazis, who didn’t exactly have the best 1945.” variety.com/2026/tv/news/joh…
