Default Simpsons "voices" want $360k per show each!

WTF is wrong with people? They are currently getting $125k for each episode to read........ but they want $360k per episode...each......

Us normal folks are damn lucky to make $100k per year.......... these guys are making 22 episodes per year = $2.75M to read! Now they want $8M a year! DAMN!

I haven't even watched the simpsons in about 8 years......

Do you blame them?

Look how much "Simpson" stuff there is out there. The cast of friends are making $1M/episode, and the Simpsons is a much better show. Not to mention how syndicated that show is.

Sounds like a fair deal to me...it's been on the air for almost 14 years. I think it's the longest running show. What they need to do is hire Ray Romanos agent. He's trying to get a $72 million bonus to come back next season, plus the $1.8 million per episode he's already making. He should clear $100 million(in one year) if he gets it.

It's a shame that the world works this way, but it's just reality. It's funny how athletes, singers, and actors make millions of dollars while people like doctor's and people who make a difference should be making that type of money.. oh well.. big business= big salaries.

Wouldn't that be like the plant workers getting pissed at Henry Ford for him making good $ off of their work? He took the risk.

I would think at $2M+ to read 22 episodes (so that is way less than half a years worth of work) you would be content.?

ya.... i guess my analogy sucked..... i am sick.....

either way.... that is crazy for fox to make $1B from the simpsons and crazy for someone to make $8m per year to read for about 3 hours per day on average....... it is good to be the king.

And worth every penny!! They have had original character voices since the beginning. It would not be the same if they changed a voice.
