Snarky Gossip

American Idol finalists are paid $921 a week

by Wendy on April 13th, 2007

Wow! I guess it pays to make a complete fool of yourself!

American Idol 6’s 12 finalists are paid almost $1,000 per one-hour episode, thanks to the fact that they’re union members.

The top 12 transition “from mere amateurs, the equivalent of game show contestants, to professional TV performers,” and “[t]hey became union members covered under contracts negotiated by the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists,” USA TODAY reported.
