While some may think that hosting an awards show in front of Hollywood’s hottest is an honorary privilege, turns out they’re pocketing money for it.
Surprisingly, it’s not a lot. Well, for the Tony’s, that is.
Hosts of last year’s Tony Awards, Alan Cumming and Kristin Chenoweth, revealed how much they bagged for the gig. It was just $3,810 each.
“It was barely enough to cover subway fare,” joked Kristin.
Chris Rock, host of this month’s Oscars, will likely pull in a figure somewhere between $15,000 to $25,000, according to The Hollywood Reporter in 2013.
But if you get asked to take charge of the Golden Globes, you’re onto a good thing. Vanity Fair reports that Tina Fey and Amy Poehler each took home something in the low six figures.
Can we nominate ourselves to host the 2017 Golden Globes?
