IN AN INCREDIBLE GESTURE OF SOLIDARITY, THE FIVE MAIN

To-infinitive

CAST MEMBERS OF THE BIG BANG THEORY HAD DECIDED TO GIVE

THEMSELVES A PAY CUT SO THAT THEIR OTHER CAST

JOHNNY GALECKI, KALEY CUOCO, KUNAL NAYYAR AND SIMON HELBERG

MILLION AN EPISODE AND THEY ARE NOW SAYING THAT THEY ARE

GOING TO TAKE A PAY CUT OF ABOUT $100,000 SO THAT THEIR CAST

MEMBERS MAYIM BIALIK AND MELISSA RAUCH COULD HAVE A PAY INCREASE.

BOTH ACTRESSES ARE MAKING ABOUT $200,000 PER EPISODE RIGHT NOW.

FROM THE COSTARS THAT WOULD BE NEARLY $480,000 AN EPISODE

ARE MORE THAN $21 MILLION FOR THE TWO-YEAR 48 EPISODE DEAL.

I THINK THIS IS AN CREDIBLE MOVE BY THE CAST MEMBERS.

SIMILAR TO THE MOVEMENT THE FRIENDS CAST MEMBERS MADE TO

MADE SURE THAT THERE WAS PARITY FOR EQUAL WORK AND EQUAL PAY.

BUT IT IS KIND OF, TWO ABSURD FACTS ABOUT WITHOUT THE

MILLION AND EPISODE I THINK THAT IS RIDICULOUS AND THEN I

THINK THE SECOND ABSURD FACT IS THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE A

PAY CUT SO THAT THEIR CAST MEMBERS CAN GET A PAY INCREASE.

I UNDERSTAND, BEN MAYBE YOU CAN DO A BETTER JOB EXPLAINING

THIS ABOUT THE RULES OF SYNDICATION IN THE WAY THE

SHOW IS STILL MAKING MONEY NOW BUT IT'S KIND OF SILLY THAT

THEY DON'T JUST INCREASE THE OTHER CAST MEMBERS SALARIES.

I DON'T THINK IT'S ABSURD BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF THE

FRIENDS WAS BACK FIRST CASTED THAT WAS MAKING ABOUT $1

BUT SYNDICATION IS VARIES IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES,

DIFFERENT TERRITORIES, DIFFERENT DEALS THAT ARE CUT AND EACH

ONE IS THE STATION, THIS NETWORK BUYING THE EPISODES SO

THEY'RE GETTING MONEY FROM EACH DEAL AND IT CAN BE

DIFFERENT BASED ON THE COUNTRIES AND WHEREVER THEY ARE.

MY IN BIALIK WHICH I STILL LOVE FROM BLOSSOM.

AND MELISSA RAUCH, DAVE BEEN INTEGRAL PARTS IN THE STORYLINE

AND I EVEN LOOK AT THEM AS COSTARS, ACTUALLY LOOK AT THEM

AS MAIN STARS HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT AS POPULAR AS

THEY WEREN'T THERE, THEY WERE THERE AT THE BEGINNING.

THEY WERE IN THE ORIGINAL FIVE CAST MEMBERS.

RIGHT NOW, SO SOME POINT THEY SHOULD BE WELL OVER 200,000.

THEY SHOULD'VE AT LEAST BEEN AT 500 TO 750.

200,000 AND EPISODE, 25% A YEAR, THE $20 MILLION.

IT'S A LOT OF MONEY UNDOUBTEDLY BUT I DON'T THINK

THAT JUST BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF MONEY YOU GET TO SAY THAT THEY

GET TO MAKE THAT MUCH SMALLER THAN THE REST OF THE STUFF.

I DON'T THINK THEY NEED TO MAKE THE SAME AMOUNT

THE COSTARS ARE COMING IN TO HELP MOTIVATE.

AS LONG AS JOHNNY COLLECTING IS SET FINANCIALLY.

I'M BAFFLED BY THE SHOW'S SUCCESS BUT MORE POWER TO THEM.

IT'S NOT THAT IS ACTUALLY NOT A MATTER OF OPINION, YOU

WHAT THEY DO IS BECAUSE THEY TAKE THINGS FIGURATIVELY AND

THEY INTERPRETED THEM LITERALLY AND IT'S FUNNY.

THAT SAID, THE REASON THEY DON'T GIVE THE OTHER PEOPLE MORE MONEY

IS BECAUSE OF SOME POINT YOU CAMPAIGN THE KASEI MUCH MONEY.

THE 7 MILLION AN EPISODE, 20 REPRESENTS YEAR.

I GOT A, THEY'RE MAKING A BUT THERE IS NOT A LIMITLESS

THERE IS A UNION FEELING YOU GET WHEN YOU DELIVER YOUR

EPISODE, YOU ARE PAID FOR A WEEK THAT YOU WERE THERE AS PART

BUT YOU ARE NOT GETTING $200,000 AND EPISODE.

IN 2006 IT WAS $36,000 FOR WRITING YOUR EPISODE.

THAT WAS THE UNION MINIMUM FOR WRITING YOUR EPISODE.

WITH HAPPEN IS THEY ALL PRINCETON, EVERYONE'S HER,

THEY GET A WEEKLY SALARY AND THEN OF THE WRITING STAFF

FOR EACH OF THOSE TO GET 26 AND IT MIGHT DEPENDING ON YOUR

CONTRACT, YOU GET ADDITIONAL FOR EVERY YEAR.

IT'S A NICE GESTURE, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A

GESTURE OF MILLIONAIRES TRANSFERRING SOME OF THE

THE BILLIONAIRES GIVEN IT TO THE BILLIONAIRES.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL GESTURE FROM THESE CAST MEMBERS.

IMPORTANT THAT THEY'RE RECOGNIZING THIS AND I THINK

IT COMMUNICATES TO WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE OF DECIDING THE SALARIES

THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO DO THIS AND THE IMPORTANCE IN THIS.

I THINK IT'S A GOOD BECAUSE IT SETS THE TONE OF

THE DIALOGUE IS BEEN THERE BUT NOW ARE WE ARE STARTING A

I STATE THE FOLLOWING: THE PERSON WHO SHOULD MAKE THE MOST

MONEY IS FIRST JIM PARSONS WHO SHOULD MAKE FOUR TIMES WHEN
