Jay Leno has a $16 million contract per year with NBC. Divide that by 260 episodes per year (his show is on Monday - Fridays only x 52 weeks per year):

  • 52 weeks in the year / 5 days of airing per week = 260 episodes per year
  • divide the $16,000,000 by 260 episodes:
$16,000,000 / 260 = $61,538.46 per episode


Mr. Leno makes more in 1 day than the average American makes per year.


Why?


Because we the people give it to him with our ratings. If the majority of us would actually spend that wasted hour in something more useful, then who knows...
