I thought I heard that Leno donates his Tonight show earnings to charity. I could be wrong.

Maybe what you heard is that he donates part of it to charity. Probably gets a tax break for it, too.

Letterman ($31.5 Million) Leno ($24.5 Million)

Yeah it probably is, I mixed Letterman ($31.5 Million) up with Leno ($24.5 Million)...

From 2004 Sources said the deal calls for Leno to pull in about $25 million-$27 million per year, a significant bump from his previous salary, estimated to be about $18 million per year.

“Tonight” averages about 6 million viewers each week, compared to about 4 million for CBS’ “Late Show With David Letterman.” Letterman, however, is believed to still pull in a slightly fatter paycheck with an annual salary estimated at $31.5 million.

BTW
BRAD & ANGELINA

HIS MONEY Call 2007 a productive year for Mr. Pitt, who raked in an estimated $35 million for his movies, such as Ocean's Thirteen and The Assassination of Jesse James, and profits from his production company Plan B.

HER MONEY
About $20 million a year for films and endorsements. Her multiyear St. John apparel deal was worth $12 million, according to Women's Wear Daily.

$67 million...

Our Sponsor here in Mesa, Berge Ford just gave a brand New Mustang to a high school senior, they picked one of seven keys and each student sat in a car but only one started. Its was very cool. Everyone else got a nice goodie bag worth a couple of hundred bucks....

Jay also lobbies heavily for the car guys!! Bet you won't see that Challenger around very often, maybe in a couple of years at Barrett/Jackson!!!!

Found this article on the subject http://www.tvweek.com/blogs/blink/20...ookkeeping.php

Mr. Leno said he always tries to live on what he brings in from his many standup comedy appearances each year, while saving up his salary for hosting “The Tonight Show” and donating to charities what he makes from books and movies.

Not only does the man make millions for being one of the least-funny comedians of all time, half of these vehicles are just given to him...
