Jason Made $100,000 in Two Weeks

That's what's so amazing about these shows is like they'll shoot a show like, oh, like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, right? Or yeah, they'll shoot like— this is true. They'll shoot like— I mean, I'm pretty sure it's true because I know this. I have other people. I have friends that host stuff. And I know how stuff works and I assume that it's like this for other stuff. I just don't wanna name the shows that they're actually working on. But let's say a show like Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, they'll shoot all of the episodes in 2 weeks. They'll shoot 4 episodes a day and they'll be done in 2 weeks. And the host will make, the host will make $70,000 an episode. So that's 4 episodes a day, $70,000 an episode. And they'll shoot in the middle of July, which is so cool, because like they'll have the Christmas episode that they're shooting, and everybody in the audience will be wearing Christmas sweaters, and he'll be wearing a Christmas hat. And it has nothing to do with summer, but it'll air during Christmas. And what's so amazing about it is they'll be done shooting it July 30th, and he won't have to work till March till it's done airing. You know what I mean? It'll just air every week, once a week. And people will be like, oh, he's so busy, he's shooting this every week. But he got it done in 3 weeks.
