TV ratings are down. Advertisers are down. Recession continues and this guys gets $45M. Ahhh ! such is life...
Brian Dunkelman has got to be kicking himself
I am no Idol fan but couldn’t any competent host get the job done fir a lot less.
Why?? He is the dumbest and least relevant part of the show
After all he is in the upper 1% of the wealthy.
We need Opossum to come out and make a statement such as,
“And the US will use 2/3rds of this 45 million to extend unemployment benfits in urban centers. Like I’ve said of bankers and auto-industry CEOs; no one, not even celebrities, should earn this much money.”
He is beyond annoying.
Ugh. Something about him makes my skin crawl.
His comment to the crazy singer about staying on her knees was more than a little disgusting.
It is amazing that so many people watch that tripe.
He appeals to the Demographics of the show..he is talented..stays calm....has the right words for the moment...The Show makes about $ 900 Million...
When you change a show around, people stop watching....
Wow, 45 million. He is about to make some man very very happy. LOL
I wonder how Joel McHale will treat this news.
I prefer both the presenters for “So you think you can dance” and “Dancing with the stars” to this guy. He’s not even likable!
Ryan Seacrest closes deal worth $45 mil (Richest ever for a TV host)
The End Times.
Unemployment,housing crash,banking crash etc etc and someone that offers no value to society in what they do producing nothing, providing nothing, gets 45 million dollars.
How truly sad and pathetic...
So when will we see Congressional hearings to discuss capping the salaries of TV hosts?
Welcome to capitalism.
Under captialism, you get paid a little bit less than what someone considers your value to be. (They will not pay you more than your perceived value)
Someone who is running a very successful show thinks that Mr. Seacrest is worth more than $15M/year. They are in a better position to make that judgement than us amatuers.
However, some Freepers here are just about ready to rent a bus to sponsor a tour to view Mr. Seacrest’s home and make fun of his opulant lifestyle.
Ryan Seacrest inspired this line if anyone ever did...
“Someday I’m going to be famous,
do I have talent...well no.
These days you don’t really need it
thanks to reality shows.”
Just goes to show you, talent and ability have nothing to do with getting you to the top in certain fields.
