That's right - don't let the desires of millions of fans cloud your judgement
Those three were virtually unknown before <i>Seinfeld</i>, and - in addition to a great salary for most of the years - were given $1M per episode the final season - that's $22M for a half-year's "work." . I can understand being reimbursed for your work, but c'mon - how about a reality check here? Producing is a gamble - if your show is a hit, you become obscenely rich; but if it's a flop, you lose your house and your life's savings. Bigger risk - bigger reward, IMHO - the producers deserve the money.
Or - as someone else said - just put the damn episodes on a DVD and screw the interviews!

Speaking of which, how many of you know that Julia Louis Dreyfuss, the woman who plays Elaine in the series, is an heiress to a
MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR estate? That's US$570M. Approximately
twenty times that which Paris Hilton will inherit.
Do you think she needs the money?
For an interesting comparison between Dreyfuss and Hilton, see
