So, CBS are now set to be shelling out $7 million per episode for The Big Bang Theory, and that’s just on the main cast’s pay.
Granted, Rauch and Bialik didn’t become series regulars on The Big Bang Theory until season 4, so prior to that it’d be expected that they didn’t earn a pay check on a level with the main cast.
The Big Bang Theory might be one of CBS’s most popular shows, but it’s also its most expensive.
Let’s be clear; The Big Bang Theory wouldn’t be the same show if any one of this trio were to quit.
