The Big Bang Theory - Large Pay Increase for stars
Sep 15, 2010
The Big Bang TheoryI've learned that the stars of The Big Bang Theory are getting fat new paychecks just as the hit CBS comedy is getting ready for its big move to Thursdays next week. After almost 3 months of negotiations with series producer Warner Bros TV, Big Bang leads Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, and Jim Parsons have agreed to a major salary hike that would bring the trio's salaries to $200,000 an episode for the upcoming fourth season, up from about $60,000 last season. The salaries will rise to $250,000 in Season 5, then $300,000 in Season 6 and 350,000 in Season 7. Additionally, they will each receive .25 point of the series' lucrative backend and will be paid $1+ million as an advance against it now and another $1 million in Season 7. That effectively adds another $50,000 to their per-episode paycheck over the life of the deal.

ReplyDeleteGreat news! Though I personally think that Jim deserves a fatter paycheque than even Johnny and Kaley get...
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the fact that they are looking so far forward, as I hope this show continues for a long time (as my other shows are ending :K )
ReplyDeleteI agree, Orsy!
ReplyDeleteBut wow, that's great news!
I'm glad! They are fantastic actors!!
Damm what about raj and wolowitz?
ReplyDeleteI would normally be against the outrageous paychecks actors receive. However, these guys, especially Sheldon, deserve it. I think only one person in the entire universe could pull off that role, and that is him.
