Having appeared a few times on Emmy caliber shows like 25 Celebrity Near Death Experiences on E! – where we practice how to say Jason Priestley "was nearly torn to shreds and burnt alive" gingerly – we've met the fine folks who produce these shows. We even have an intimate relationship with the guy who reaches under our shirt to attach the mic and "accidentally" brushes up against our nipples.

These fine folks are the best in the business. Or at least deserving of our sympathy: None of them receive health insurance from E!

Until now! After meeting with the Producers Guild of America over concerns that freelancers might fall into one of Hillary Clinton's health care pie charts, the network decided to offer health benefits to freelance producers who clock 200 consecutive days of work, as well as make some 100 associate producers eligible for overtime.

Obvs, this isn't going to be good for profit margins. Nor will it be good for the inescapable negotiations with writers' guilds, who want their reality TV members to receive the benefits that go along with constructing a story-line out of boring pretty people.
