… for season 2. He made $90,000 per episode for season one, so they gave him quite a bump.
I had no idea that Stifler was in such demand. That guy is nearly 50 years old, and while I like him (Role Models is one of my favorite comedies), I haven’t seen him in a while.
To be frank, I didn’t even know that show existed until today, let alone that it got renewed for a second season. Kat Dennings is the producer and is also in the show. I guess I’m going to break down and watch the first episode. Stay tuned.
Update:
I watched it. Standard sitcom. It uses the dreaded laugh track. Tim Allen plays the same character he always plays, so the show could easily be called Car Improvement. Compared to other run-of-the-mill sitcoms, there’s nothing really wrong with it (except the laugh track), but I don’t have any inclination to watch the rest of the season.
(Stifler’s part in the first episode was insignificant. I suppose they must have given him more to do later, given his salary increase.)
But did the little girl that basically screams all of her lines also get a raise?
I’ve seen the entire season, and he’s basically the love interest for Kat Dennings’s character. They’re just going to drag out any actual romance between them for as long as possible, because I guess they think people like that or something. Between her still being hung up on her ex (played by the main guy from Raising Hope, a far better show than this one) and him being apprehensive about dating his boss’s daughter, they probably won’t actually get together until two or three more seasons from now.
Stifler is also prominently in the latest season of The Righteous Gemstones, which, if you haven’t seen, it is hard for me to imagine that you wouldn’t enjoy.
Some day I’m going to binge that series. I’ve seen a few episodes here and there, and I like it, but I need to get more context on all the characters.
Danny McBride is always outrageous, and is always at his best with his fellow vice-principal, Walton Goggins. Jeez, has it really been eight years since Vice-Principals went off the air? I’m really losing my ability to keep track of time. I take comfort in the fact that physicists and philosophers say that time is merely an “illusion,” although I gather that physicists never had to work a double shift at 7-Eleven, which could prevent them from understanding how time works.
Oh, wait. Maybe they said time is “elusive.” My hearing is also going.
