Shepard’s Pie Causes Everyone to Drool
Fox News veteran and anti-gossip Shepard Smith is walking gayly into a Thanksgiving holiday, thanks to his new 3-year deal that puts him somewhere between $7 and $8 million per annum.
But his spiked salary is already causing grumbling across the other networks. A mid-level producer at Anderson Cooper 360 was said to be arguing for the bossman, who’s reportedly earning a cool $4-5 million per year, but, says Cooper’s confidant, “is worth more … worth at least as much as Shep.” (Sounds like a case of Stockholm’s.)
Us? We’re more interested in the recently-reupped Keith Olbermann’s reaction, whose paltry $3 million-ish deal must be looking pretty miniscule.

Nick says:
Anderson needs to renegotiate his contract because he’s worth more than Shep, regardless of the ratings.

What happened to the 5 year $50 million dollar lie….er um contract that Page 6 reported earlier this year for Anderson?
To Nick:
They don’t renegotiate contracts based on the fact that you masterbate during the show, they base it on ratings, so they matter and $4-5 million for an average of 700,000 viewers a night is too much. Looks like Lou and Rick need a big raises.
