half a million??

Is it true that each friend gets half a million dollars each episode??

Actually, I think it's more like $700,000 (even though they requested a million each ...) poor them.

They're getting $750,000 per episode for the next two years.

plus 1% more for syndicated episodes.

$750k to each entity, who then pay a percentage of it to their agent and manager, then they pay their personal staff's salary. What ever is left over after that and taxes is theirs. I would assume it all goes into a corporation and even the star takes a salary from it.

Oh, I feel SO sorry for them! Poor babies asked for 1 million, and they only get a measly 750,000...

Please ignore me, I'm just mad because I didn't have enough money with me to buy a CD and why am I explaining this to you peoples?? o well :)

If you wanna loan me some money, I love charity!! Just kidding

Haven't you heard of negotations? 1 mill was just a starting point. They wanted a pay raise and 1,000,000 per episode seemed like a nice, round figure. I didn't hear one of them bitch that they got less.

If you want to talk about greedy, look at David Duchovny. Half a season for more than triple the $.

How is that greedy? His presence on the show supports that salary and the salary of everyone else involved in the production and broadcast of the show.

Do you feel sorry for the fat-cat TV executives that only managed to save $1,500,000 (six lots of $250,000) for themselves? :)

That's how negotiations go, anyway; you deliberately ask for more than you really want because you know the opposition will whittle it down.
