Orna Banai Jokes About Her Salary for New Kan 11 Comedy Series
Comedian Orna Banai joked about her high salary for a new Kan 11 series during an interview, before praising writer Matan Chorek's script.
Comedian and actress Orna Banai recently appeared on the "Hadashot HaLayla" program hosted by Sharon Davidovitch, discussing her role in the upcoming Kan 11 series "People I Met." Joining Banai in the star-studded cast are fellow well-known actors including Yaniv Biton, Tal Friedman, and Assi Cohen.
During the interview, Davidovitch joked about the broadcaster's notoriously modest compensation rates, asking what drew her to the project. Banai responded with sharp wit, saying, "It's charming of you to ask, although I actually received bundles of cash, absolute bundles. You don't understand, I just bought a house in Greece. I just bought a house in Lesbos."
After entertaining the host with her humorous remarks—adding with a laugh, "Or maybe I bought a shack in Rahat"—Banai turned serious. She explained how she was captivated by the script created by writer and podcaster Matan Chorek, praising his funny, edgy, and warm style of writing.
