Kristen Bell Takes on the Gender Wage Gap

Kristen Bell, star of “Veronica Mars,” “Frozen,” and the upcoming sitcom “The Good Place,” partook in The Huffington Post’s new comedy sketch series “Celebs Have Issues,” which puts serious causes in the spotlight.

For episode one, Bell takes on the gender wage gap and inequality in the workplace for “Pinksourcing,” a skewering of the workplace policies that leave women second class citizens in the office.

“Why outsource all your production to faraway countries like India, China, and Narnia when we have the cheapest and best workforce right here in the good ole U.S. of A.: women,” Bell says.

As HuffPo details, “Over the course of 10 weekly episodes, [‘Celebs Have Issues’] will take on such issues as equal pay, transgender rights, and mental health.”

The gender wage gap isn’t just a Hollywood problem, but a national one. Watch the sketch below.
