Charlie Sheen asking for $1.5 million an Episode!!!
 

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?"

remember friends was making a million each an episode, so this isn't that far off

Yeah, that was insane. They started the bidding war. And they got it.

We are in the wrong biz....

And to think the Jersey Shore kids are only getting 10K per episode!

All about the ratings,if it's making bank,pay the man,Eventually all shows fade away

A bunch of nobody's all put up a fight for the 10K, :1orglaugh And got it.
Only on a Music Television Show with No music Videos.

I haven't even watched one episode.

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. :Oh crap

Don't know but if you stumble upon a sign up sheet let me know :D

Wasn't seinfeld offered nearly 5MM/episode and he still walked away?
WG

come on ... hoes are expensive!

those shirts are expensive!!

conan steamrolled NBC.....if they got the cash....let em waste it....its only money

That's a lot of hookers and blow

Must be nice.

I love that show. I hope they get it squared one way or another.

Yuk Yuk he's one of dem twoofers who think there was nano-thermite was in building 7 on 9/11... what a moron .. yuk yuk.. (turns on glenn beck)

...what?

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.

Please Warner, tell him to get lost.

:2 cents:

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. :1orglaugh

Obama, fight for your rights!

good for him. I think he will take around 1.2-1.3 in the end.

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

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.

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

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

What the heck, it's Hollywood!

Seinfeld is the king, best sitcom ever.

he is mad:mad:

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.

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.

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.

q f t

im surprised that show has the ratings for them to want to put up that kind of money.

Most sitcoms are, yet they still edit the laughs in the studio afterwards.

Actually, Larry David is the king.

Seinfeld and the Larry David show are two of the funniest sitcoms ever.

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?

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.

I should be a female standup comic and make fun of porn...


Sabby:)

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.

difference is you can replace an employee.. 2 and half men is a hit show.. they CANT replace charlie with someone else... see the problem here?

. charlie makes 2 and half men, so they have to pay him, or bye bye show... and its a very profitable show.. everyone i know loves that show
