Friends without the laugh track- The worst show in television history.
What about That's My Mama?
From the little I've seen of both, Big Bang Theory edges out Friends for the title.
The stars of the show I believe make $20 million a year in residuals. The show was recently rented by HBO Max for $500 million. The creators and studio are raking in the money.
$4 million is nothing to them and it will be a writeoff.
Search: friends tv show, stars paid how much residuals
In 2015, USA Today reported that Warner Bros. earns $1 billion a year from “Friends.” Of that amount, 2% — or $20 million — goes to each of the stars every single year.
