Everyone’s talking about… The Big Bang Theory
The stars of The Big Bang Theory have reportedly taken a pay cut so that their co-stars Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch can get a pay rise. Isn’t that sound of them?
Per Variety:
According to multiple sources, the five original cast members on the show – Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Kunal Nayyar and Simon Helberg — made the extraordinary gesture of taking a small pay cut to free up money for raises for Bialik and Rauch.
The cast members reportedly offered to take a $100,000 pay cut. They earn a cool $1 million, while Rauch and Bialik earn $200,000 per episode.
We’re all in the wrong industry, lads.
