Charlie Sheen asking for $1.5 million an Episode!!! - GoFuckYourself.com

Semi-Retired-Dave · 04-01-2010, 08:12 PM

He has CBS by the balls.

That's just greed! Do it for your fans, not just the money. He is already making $825,000 an episode.
We're in the wrong Business. These Networks must be making Bank.

--------------

Sources directly connected to "Two and a Half Men" are laughing at reports that Charlie Sheen says he's done with the show.

Although the show has been sold to CBS for two more seasons, Charlie's deal is up and the parties are far apart, but that's nothing new ... it's happened with Charlie before.

We're told Charlie is currently making $825,000 an episode, and he's asking for $1.5 million. We're told the Warner Bros. offer is around $1 million an episode.

Warner Bros. will make a fortune if the show continues, because any fresh episodes will automatically become part of the syndication deal. Charlie would also make a fortune.

As one person put it, "This deal will be made at midnight on the day CBS announces its new fall schedule [May 19]. Everyone plays the brinksmanship game."

And there's this ... it's not going to be particularly easy for Charlie to get a new show, given he's in rehab and facing a possible jail sentence.

And one well-connected source snarkily said, "Does anyone really think Charlie will walk away from $48 million?"

That were 6 persons he is one and he is the one carrying the show, if the Friends cast were worth 6+ Mil per episode he is worth is, of cause he is asking $1.5 mil who wouldn't? Its worth a try.

He will get around 1.2, I agree, he is the show.
That's some pretty good change, go in Monday - Thursday, mess around, rehearse. Then tape on Friday for a couple hours in front of a live audience. Bam!, A million bucks.
Then when it goes into syndication. He still makes bank.

Where do we sign up.

Mr. Billy · 04-01-2010, 11:57 PM

What can you say, if he brings in the bucks it is only right that he shares in the bucks as well.

I do like the show since I stopped working evenings and can watch it the whole cast is pretty funny.

Does it apply to elected Presidents as well? I mean, they are pretty good comedians, and we might consider letting them share in the country's bucks.

Hey don't go messin with the president now. Our president is cool and a brotha!

Mr. Billy · 04-02-2010, 12:19 AM

Well for me it comes down to this, the network is gonna take the money in anyway so even though it seems like a ridiculously large sum of money it might as well go to him since he draws in the viewers. It's not as though they would put the money to good humanitarian use, like fighting hunger if he didn't take it anyway.

The Duck · 04-02-2010, 03:06 AM

He knows he is the golden egg in the show so of course he is trying to squeeze as much as possible from it.

MaDalton · 04-02-2010, 05:05 AM

maybe he thinks he'll need the cash to pay people in jail to keep Bubba away from his ass

but good for him, i just hope Jon Cryer gets a raise too

I have watched that show a few times. My parents really like it, I have friends that really like it...and it just doesn't do it for me.

Semi-Retired-Dave · 04-02-2010, 07:02 AM

I think the writers should get the raise, not him. The writers make that show and the whole cast is great. The writers deserve it. He just delivers well.

Jman · 04-02-2010, 07:04 AM

I agree about the writters but you have to give it to Charlie, he his the show and will most probably get in the range of $1.2 mil per episode.

Got to agree with you. Just watched some previews on Youtube. Limp jokes and canned laughter, I don't need to be told when to laugh. I thought it was in front of a live a audience.

Then the question is why do they?

Don't they realise that if it's funny people will laugh and they don't need to be told when to?

Rochard · 04-02-2010, 10:39 AM

Years ago before adult my management duties required me to negotiate a yearly compensation package for a highly valued employee. He was negotiating from a position of strength, thinking he brought us the best clients and made the company the most amount of money. He walked in, sat down, and was quick tell me he wanted a 100% raise to stay on board.

Imagine his surprise when I told him that wasn't possible, and that he had to take a huge pay cut to stay on board. I explained to him that he hadn't brought in any new clients in the past six months, and the past clients he was maintaining us - which were locked into long term contracts - were making us less and less money every month. In short, we no longer needed him.

He accepted the offer, but left with tears in his eyes.

Someone needs to do the same to Charlie here.

Studies show the opposite. People laugh more when they are with other people laughing. I know that I do, I'm sure you do. A lot of people watch TV by themselves.

You haver to watch more than just some youtube clips to get the show. It's pretty funny, much better than any other shitty sitcom these days. Except for Big Bang Theory, which is by the same writers.

Its some technical stuff, I don't remember it anymore. But they add the laughs on the parts where the real laughs were. Its just made for the sound to be good enough on TV, I guess, the dialogues clear enough.
