AMC: "Grossly over-budget"

[EricMontreal22]

Hello Jody!

Yes They DID Have kelly ripa Star Of Talk show And sitCom! aNd! i THINK shE did it Largely as a Favour And didn't Ask for huge Funds that Might Set back The Budget.

Ugh that took me forever Anyway--we're in agreement. Nobody from that special woulda caused any damage to the budget really, whatsoever. And to suggest as much is inanity.

Kelly Ripa has little to no interest in returning to AMC. She makes $8 million dollars a year doing Live which is 8 times more than any actor in daytime with far less work. Shows like the View and Live are some of the cushy jobs in entertainment. Usually their work day is on a rough day 6 hours (and I am being extremely generous). Throw in the fact that she lives on a different coast and has small children. She stopped working on AMC when it became clear that she was going to become a permanent fixture on Live. If she didn't work on the show when they were in the same city why would she make a cross country trek to take a huge pay cut for a job that requires far more work.
