Title: Hollywood Squares Question
Post by: cmjb13 on September 18, 2003, 05:28:27 PM

This is for all versions, but primarily Davidson and Bergeron.

Do you think regulars who sit in the center square for a week (JJ Bullock, Martin Mull) get paid more than if they were sitting in another spot?

 No. Or at least no more than they would if they were sitting in another square.

I have no knowledge of whether they pay some people more than others, but if there is a pay differential, it probably works the other way:  A celeb who is really funny when called on will (1) be able to ask for more money and (2) likely be put in a spot where he/she is called on more often.  Clearly, the center square would be that square.

Whoopi is an exception; since her production company was doing the show, she probably raked it in in the millions.
