Last week, the original Big Bang Theory cast members did not show up to work because of contract negotiations, and over the weekend the studio and three of the leads, Kaley Cuoco, Jim Parsons and Johnny Galecki reached a settlement. Penny, Sheldon and Leonard will all be making a whopping million dollars an episode for the next three (and expected to be the last) years according to
Entertainment Weekly. While they got what they wanted Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are still waiting to sign on the line, but they are expected to sign shortly.
So crisis adverted, they will all be going back to work on Wednesday. And hopefully by then they will have decided what charity to donate some of their earnings to. C’mon, they are making over $24 million a year, they can afford to give some of it away to people who need it besides their lawyers, agents, managers and publicists. Who’s with me?
