  "account": "Anthony Anderson guest-hosted \"Jimmy Kimmel Live!\" for the 25th time on Monday, and in a humorous request for a reward, he expressed his desire to be cast in the upcoming Spider-Man movie. Anderson joked that Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Tom Holland's Spider-Man films are \"the harrowing tale of a skinny white boy who was bit by a spider and got the power to pull Zendaya.\" He then emphasized that with over 900 Spider-Man movies created, it's truly remarkable they haven't included him in any of them. Anderson's audience validated his enthusiasm, and in response, he used Kimmel's platform to appeal to Disney for a role in the next Spider-Man film. He jokingly suggested being an extra, but assured Disney that even an small part would be appreciated. The audience responded enthusiastically to the audition, and Anderson proposed a coffee and newspaper prop to complete the Spider-Man experience. The audience enjoyed the performance, and Anderson playfully thanked Disney for being the \"least\" they could do for him after hosting Kimmel 25 times.",
