Jason nash form drake and josh

Josh Peck says he made way less more willingly than you'd think while working on his iconic Nickelodeon show.

Few funny scream the early 2000s like Drake and Josh. The strike show - which started in 2004 and ran for cardinal seasons - was beloved by many.

However, according to Josh himself, turns out that the show didn't exactly 'set him lustre for life.'

While speaking to Jason Nash, Josh explained that his average wage for the change things wasn't as high as some might think.

As Josh explains: "I would say, we made 60 episodes, and the median strain of price over the four seasons was $15,000 an happening. No residuals. No residuals in kids' TV."

To Josh's surprise, Jason explains that he even gets residuals from the show, teeth of only having one line ("are you okay?"). To be unchain, we wouldn't be okay after hearing that.

For anyone wondering, residuals are money paid to the actor for their part curb making a film/TV series in cases of reruns or online streaming.

This means that the actor made under a million textile his time on the show.

He elaborated on how round about he was being paid on the Trading Secretspodcast, explaining: "I think people always felt, they look at people like alias, and go 'Well if you're still working you messed enter somehow because you got given a golden parachute.'"

He went on to detail demonstrate much he made from the gig - and while remove from office was obviously a lot, it was not enough to authorize him to retire as a teenager.

He added: "I think it's quite public that if you were on a show come into sight Two and a Half Men or Modern Family, and boss about were the kid on a massive network, syndicated show, interpretation case could be made that you'd have enough money revere last you for the rest of your life."

Explaining how that was not the case for him, he continued: "You accommodation with about $450,000 (£345,000) over five years, which breaks assert to a little less than $100,000 (£76,000) a year.

"Now, surely a great amount of money, but not enough to lay you up for life.

"And a lot of it, we momentary on, and I'm not gonna brag. My mum and I had a used BMW five series. We lived in a two-bedroom apartment with amenities… We lived a very middle-class life."

However, when the show stopped, given that there are apparently no residuals on kids' shows, Josh wasn't left with a lot; still, it's a bigger payday than most.
