George Santos Makes More Money With Cameo Than Congressional Salary, Demands $20K From Jimmy Kimmel
Portfolio Pulse from Chris Katje
Former Rep. George Santos, after being expelled from Congress, has turned to Cameo to earn income, surpassing his Congressional salary. Santos, who faced allegations of lying and federal charges, is listed on Cameo as a 'former Congressional icon' and has completed over 700 videos. Jimmy Kimmel, host of ABC's 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' owned by Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), used Cameo to request videos from Santos for a segment, leading Santos to demand $20,000 from Kimmel for airing the videos on TV.

NEUTRAL IMPACT
Walt Disney Company's ABC airs 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' which featured Cameo videos of George Santos. Santos is demanding $20,000 from Kimmel for using the videos, potentially leading to legal attention and increased viewership.
The mention of Walt Disney Company (DIS) is indirect and pertains to a potential legal dispute and publicity related to 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!'. While the show may gain viewership due to the controversy, the financial impact on DIS is uncertain and likely minimal in the short term. The relevance is moderate as the show is part of the company's broader portfolio, and the importance is not critical but notable due to potential legal and marketing implications.
