While speaking with his fellow late-night hosts Jimmy Fallon, Seth Meyers, John Oliver and Stephen Colbert, Jimmy shared that the two Oscar winners and lifelong best friends made him the offer.

Each of them would have paid a week’s worth of the staff’s salary, if Jimmy had accepted it.

“I felt like that wasn’t his responsibility,” he explained of his rejection.

In addition to Matt and Ben’s offer, Jimmy revealed that Ryan Reynolds also offered free Mint Mobile service for a year to the show’s unemployed staff.

Mint Mobile is co-sponsoring the podcast.

Elsewhere in the episode, Jimmy also talked about how serious he was about retiring this year.

Two of Jimmy’s co-hosts also banded together to pay their unemployed staff by reaching a deal with NBC.
