It really varies. Some of the guests on MSNBC (and other cable networks) get paid absolutely nothing: they go on TV because it gets their name out and advances their career; this is often true of professors, researchers, or local experts on a certain topic. These guests are generally used once or twice, although if they seem articulate and photogenic, they may get asked back, and in some cases like Melissa Harris-Perry (who first was on the air as Melissa Harris-Lacewell) and Chris Hayes, occasional guest appearances on MSNBC went so well that they led to being asked to anchor a show.

Experienced experts (often called "pundits") with a well-known specialty often do get paid, especially if they become known for explaining important facts, and they demonstrate that they are easy for the anchor to work with. The most articulate and photogenic pundits are very much in demand, to the point where MSNBC puts them under contract and give them a regular salary; they are generally called "analysts" or "contributors." (You will hear them referred to as: [name of person], MSNBC Contributor.) Although the salaries of these pundits are generally not disclosed, some newspaper reports have said the most well-known and popular experts make as much as $75-80 thousand a year, while lesser known experts make in the range of $20-30 thousand a year.

If going out to dinner can guest pay for their own dinner?

If you consider the person a guest for dinner then you should offer to pay their bill as well. Often the guest; especially if they are visiting with you will take one or more persons out for dinner, their treat! If it's just a friend that has come to visit and you are going out to dinner and then somewhere else make it clear to them that each of you will pay for your own dinner.
