‘Big Bang Theory’ Stars Looking for Big Bucks from CBS
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar...
First Leslie Moonves had to negotiate a new deal with Charlie Sheen and even Angus T. Jones who plays his nephew on ‘Two and a Half Men.’ Now the cast from another hit CBS show is looking for a serious increase in pay per episode from their hit show ‘The Big Bang Theory.’
Forbes Magazine says that Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco and Jim Parsons, the three leads in ‘Theory’ are seeking substantial per episode increases from the $65,000 that each is estimated to be bringing in now.
Get this. Each wants about $285,000 per episode from the producers of the show. And they will no doubt get that or at least near that number since CBS and the production company Warner Brothers is making big bucks from the show’s high ratings and a deal that will put the program in syndicaton. Pretty soon you will be seeing ‘The Big Bang Theory’ on local TVstations in other time periods rather than on Monday night on CBS.
Oh yeah, by the way, Leslie Moonves is the head guy of CBS.
