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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
