The hay day of Chevy ended around 1992 with Memoirs of an Invisible Man. Other than Vegas Vacation in 1997...everything else was a bare minimum profit situation...and I’d doubt that he cleared more than $400k for his pay check (toss out 25% for taxes and another 25% for the agent and PR guy), so the guy barely went home with $200k.
Since 2000...there isn’t anything to brag about and he has to be getting paid at a low-scale. I’m surprised that any news organization even cared to interview the guy...you could have gotten the same result with some 1974 third baseman from the Kansas City Royals. Did they offer free coffee and donuts in the green room while he was waiting?
I think George Brett would have much more cred.
