Tim Allen makes $235,000 per episode. Any idea how much the cast make? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Considering the cast of Friends & Big Bang BARF made $1 million+ per episode that's not THAT much for an established sitcom star like Tim Allen who's been doing TV for 30 years.

Any idea what the rest of the cast make? I'm guessing Nancy Travis would be #2 with around $100,000 per episode?

^^^ Maybe Tim just isn't the money hungry person other people in Hollywood happen to be.

God bless you and him always!!!

He's worth $80 million & is obviously set for life.

It's just not his time anymore.
During the last season of Home Improvement he was worth 1.25 millions per episode.
Game of Thrones was a huge hit, if this series had the same success he was probably paid even more being the main star.

I never saw Game of Thrones. What does Tim Allen have to do with that??

Hopefully that new blond giraffe Mandy isn't making much. She stinks.

Bring back Molly Ephraim.

Tim Allen you could say, was ultimately the main reason why ABC canceled Last Man Standing in the first place. ABC did not own the show, Fox did so consequently, Fox was getting paid by ABC.

The point is that whenever a network doesn't own a show, they have to pay heavy fees to the production company/network who does own it, on top of all the costs of making it in the first place. This also meant that a split on the revenue was no longer consider conducive, especially as the years went on and salaries and executive producer fees escalated.

How this relates to Tim Allen is that ABC went and asked him if he could cut his exorbitant executive producer fees, which were killing the budget. By this point, Last Man Standing just finished it's sixth season on ABC. This in return, meant that Tim had to renegotiate a new acting contract. But he wasn't willing to take a pay cut there either, which now put the show in the unprofitable range for ABC.

So when Tim wouldn't renegotiate, it soon became apparent that it was now more costly for ABC to make the show (i.e. they were going to lose money every episode) than to cancel it and put that money into something they'd own fully going forward, like Once Upon a Time, which by that point, was a huge cash cow for ABC/Disney.
