How did they get so many celebrities for the Ben Affleck & Jimmy Kimmel video? I am reminded of "We are the World" recording. That's hilarious.

It was aired right after the Oscars, so that might have had something to do with it.

But I think it's safe to assume that, like most people, celebrities also love a good joke, so it wouldn't have been too difficult to get them on board. Then he would only have to get a few of the "big name" celebrities to get more.
