Sheen was reported to have a deal for $500,000 per episode of his show in syndication. At 177 episodes that mean $88,500,000 for this syndication cycle. So he’s already making millions. But with the way Sheen spends money it’ll be interesting to see if he can burn through all that money. ---

> [@CarnalK](#): > > So when you said that people in that other thread were exclaiming his genius, you meant they were all were just saying he was making money. Those two statements are equivalent to you? I assure you that they aren’t to most people. Do you think the cast of _Friends_ were all geniuses? Whatever. I guess the tiger blood coursing through my brain makes it move at a different wavelength than yours. ---

He may make money on his reruns but he’s still burning bridges for future employment. Producers don’t enjoy babysitting a bunch of assholes. I would posit that on average it’s the sitcom that makes the big-bucks actor and not the other way around. There are an unlimited number of actors who can take his place and for less money. ---

> [@Wheelz](#): > > The news coverage last night included a 12-year-old girl who was in the crowd when Sheen arrived, and was very excited because he gave her a T-shirt. I don’t recall exactly what the shirt said, but according to the reporter it was a slang term for snorting large quantities of cocaine. > Classy. woman are a commodity to him just as cocaine is so he’s just working his magic on a future sale. ---

> [@Markxxx](#): > > I saw on the Chicago reviews, he charged $10,000 for a back stage meet and greet. > > I guess the recession IS over 🙂 That may have been a misquote as he would likely be paying $10,000 for a back stage meet and greet. Goddesses don’t come cheap and realistically they’re not being paid to come at all. ---

I read he killed in Cleveland and got a standing ovation. Yikes. At least someone had the brains to improve the format. They used the moderator/interviewer again. I would rather clean 100 toilets than go to that show. ---

Don’t forget that he loves Cleveland and we still see him as Ricky Vaughn from _Major League_. And I heard him say to a local news station that “of course” he was wearing Indians’ gear tonight. So he already had a leg up in Cleveland, regardless of the fact that he’s tweaked (HA!) the show since Detroit and Chicago. ---

I’ve never been to a show that didn’t get a standing ovation. It’s become as automatic as a second encore. ---

Cleveland is a tough sell. The audience may have been predisposed to like him because of the _Major League_ connection, but _every act_ plays Cleveland. You have to earn your standing ovations, and you better kick ass. It’s not that we’re jaded, exactly; we’re just sophisticated audiences. ---

I find it hard to believe that Cleveland is really this aberration of tough, discriminating crowds disinclined to do the automatic stand and clap for the second encore… but who bother to go to a Charlie Sheen show in the first place. ---

> [@FoieGrasIsEvil](#): > > In _Cleveland_? Yes. We are very, very appreciative of good acts, but we _expect_ good acts. There were enough people who wanted to see the trainwreck to pay, but I am talking about concerts in response to **tnetennba** ’s remark about “second encores.” I don’t consider this to be a concert, despite how it may have been marketed. ---

He got spanked in NY and it wasn’t from one of his bimbos. He was booed off the stage after 45 minutes. ---
