I think Jamie Lee Curtis might be on to something here…

The veteran actress was recently on the Alive with Steve Burns podcast and she brought up a good question to the host…

Why do podcasts needs cameras when the whole point is to LISTEN?

The actress asked, “If it’s a podcast, why do we have to be on camera?”

Curtis said that when she agrees to be a guest on podcasts, she always asks, “Great, but it’s not on camera, right?”

She continued, “They go, ‘Oh yeah, it is. And they’re lit like *******.’”

Curtis said that a lot of podcasts have lighting set-ups just like TV shows now.

Well, it sounds like she just wants to phone it in from the couch in her pajamas.

And can you really blame her?
