We Want More Money!
The TV production season is just beginning to get underway, for premieres in September, but the lights are off on the set of The Big Bang Theory. The entire cast is holding out for bigger paychecks.
Insiders say CBS is offering significantly less than what Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, and Kaley Cuoco are asking. Last season, the trio earned around $350,000 per episode per person, but those salaries could triple.
Negotiations are basically stalled. Without a contract, these actors will not be showing up to work. At this stage, it’s unclear when the new season will get under way for the most-watched comedy. Source: Deadline Hollywood
