Currently, the trio each earn about $350,000 per episode PLUS a percentage of profits from the syndication of the show; a perk they obtained during their last negotiations.
That's not enough for all the laughs they provide, however, since they're going to ask for half a million PER EPISODE.
“They know the critical position Big Bang holds on CBS'prime-time schedule and the only thing preventing them getting what they want would be a spectacular ratings demise this season. That isn't about to happen anytime soon.”
This isn't the first time stars have banded together for a pay-raise. Jennifer Aniston, David Schwimmer, Matthew Perry, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, and Courteney Cox secured a $1 million per episode salary for their last season of Friends back in 2002.
With Big Bang Theory being nominated for eight Emmys, having 18.6 million viewers at the end of its sixth season, and earning a 6.2 rating in the 18-49 demographic, which gained the show the No.1 comedy title, we TOTALLY see this working out for the three.
