I have been made aware that the stars of Watch The Big Bang Theory Online Free are going to be acquiring big new paychecks just as the hit CBS comedy is preparing for its huge move to Thursdays next week. After almost 4 months of debating with series producer Warner Bros TV, The Big Bang leads Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, and Jim Parsons have agreed to a major salary raise that is going to bring all three of the casts salaries to $200,000 an episode for the forthcoming fourth series, a raise from around $60,000 the previous season. The salaries will rise to $250,000 in Series 5, then $300,000 in Season 6 and $350,000 in Season 7. Furthermore, they will each receive .25 point of the series’ lucrative backend and will be paid $1+ million as a forward payment against it now and a secondary $1 million in Season 7. That productively adds another $50,000 to their per-episode paycheck over the life of the deal.
I’m aware Galecki and Cuoco, who have been bargaining together, secured their deals on Monday in a face-to-face get together between their representatives and Warner Bros following a powwow with the two actors and their teams on Friday where the studio’s final offer was submitted. In the meantime, recent Emmy winner Jim Parsons has been holding out for additional money and had managed his settlement independently even though the fact that he is represented by the exact same law firm as Galecki and Cuoco (Hansen, Jacobson, Teller, Hoberman, Newman, Warren & Richman). I learned that Parsons was propositioned the same deal as Galecki and Cuoco, given a deadline and told to either take the deal or leave it. Parsons accepted. I also hear the studio, who had made it distinct it had been planning to do “favored nations”-type deals (paying all of the cast the same amount), was inclinded to offer re-negotiations with Parsons until next summer if he had turned down the negotiation.
Sources close to the talent and studio side called this an awesome deal for a first renegotiation, although many took note that the trio of Watch The Big Bang Theory Online Free stars could have been given even larger salary bumps if Parsons had not gone solo and they all had compromised as one. That’s how the Friends cast got to $100,000 per episode each in 1996 in the course of their first renegotiations with Warner Bros after Season 2. Watch The Big Bang Theory Online Free has the capability to match the next Friends, especially if its move to Friends’ Thursday 8 PM time slot works well. The series is coming off a red-hot 3rd season, in which it became the highest-rated comedy on TV, and a blockbuster syndication deal that netted Warner Bros. $2+ million per episode.
In the only downfall, Cuoco will not be able to fully celebrate her new deal right away. She is at a hospital recovering from a horseback riding incident over the weekend but is expected to make a full recovery.
Next to renegotiate are Big Bang’s co-stars Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar, who also are expected to negotiate salary increases. Reps for Warner Bros. and the actors declined to comment for this story.
