7:18Now PlayingThe cast of one the most popular shows on TV is voluntarily taking a payout. Hannah Cranston, Ben Mankiewicz, Brett Erlich, and Kenny Hamilton, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you why. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“The five stars of The Big Bang Theory, who have been with the show since season one, have, according to Variety, agreed to take a pay cut for the upcoming seasons so that two of their female co-stars can get raises.
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Kunal Nayyar, and Simon Helberg currently earn $1 million per episode, compared to Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch who joined the show in season three. They both have significant roles on the show, but currently earn $200,000 per episode.
According to Variety‘s report, multiple sources have said that the original cast members have agreed to making $100,000 less each per episode to give Bialik and Rauch $500,000 raises extra, which would bring each actress’s pay up to $450,000 per episode.”
