“I’m not speaking to the Queen. Casual conversation allows the use of ‘me’ at the end of a sentence in that context. No wonder you don’t have an on-screen job any more”.
After than, you can use either me or I. This has been a debate for years between prepositionists and conjonctionists.
To avoid confusion, Bill could have expanded the sentence into “than I have” (which would have meant the subject pronoun), but since he didn’t, both are indeed grammatically correct.

Sure he’s British, but could Stephen Hawking make a good CIA chief? I’m sure he has more intelligence than Jason.

It warms my heart to see someone who understands the correct use of pronouns! That basic English grammar seems to be getting lost….

Actually, both Jason and his mom are correct.

It seems to me that “no one” is the subject of the sentence, therefore Jason’s use of “me” is correct.
