From The Smoking Gun.com SEPTEMBER 11--The "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" guys may be the hottest things on TV, but you'd never know it from their paychecks. That's because Fab 5 members are only getting $3000 per episode during the show's first year, according to contracts signed months before the Bravo program's July debut. And the show's stars, who locked themselves into six consecutive one-year options, will be getting annual raises of just five percent, which works out to $3150 per episode next season and $3307.50 the following year. The "Queer Eye" deals are also virtually perk-free. For instance, if cast members have to travel, they'll be flying coach. And while given a relatively small piece of merchandising proceeds, the show's stars will not have their voice and/or likeness used to sell "firearms, alcoholic beverages, tobacco, lotteries, gambling products, intimate personal hygiene products, medication, and/or intimate apparel." The "Queer Eye" quintet's combined $15,000 salary this year is quite a bargain when compared to the heftier sums paid to ensemble players like Lara Flynn Boyle, let alone seven-figure superstars like Ray Romano or Kelsey Grammer. Boyle earned about $45,000 per episode during last year's season of "The Practice," I just found the article interesting. |
I think just like NBc did with Will & Grace after it's first season these boys will be looked after, it's good business sense to look after something which is a huge hit
|
Yep, they'll band together and get a lot more money next year. In their agents' defense, who would have thought it would take off like this?
IIRC Jennifer Garner had a terrible contract when she started Alias but recently renegotiated for a whole lot more. |
Will they be stuck at that pay for the remainder of the contract? That really reeks. These guys have a major hit.
|
wow, looks like the studio is screwing them from behind....
nevermind |
I really enjoy the show. I think they need to be paid more especially if the show continue to do well or attract even more viewers.
|
$3000 for 1 day of work isn't all that bad.....
|
uh, it's not only 1 day's work...
