Sells advertisement time to the crucial stay-at-home-mom demographic.

It's the third biggest country in the world population wise with a large older population, a lot of older people walk talk shows, so the hosts get a lot of advertising money.

But it doesn't justify someone getting paid so highly to host a talk show. Most sports stars don't get paid this highly and they have to work much harder.

Shouldn't they be paying more to the people who help to make the show or run the channel though?

So? The world isn't fair.

The amount sports stars get isn't fair either.

She's not most daytime show hosts. She's been around for like a decade now and remains popular. She draws in the women and LGBT crowd and does softball humor to draw in old people. She's very safe and there's nothing broadcast TV likes more than someone "safe"
This is chump change compared to what Oprah would be making if she was still on

At least sports stars actually work for their stardom. All Ellen did was make a mildly funny sitcom, came out as a lesbian and suddenly she became a media darling.

Doesn't Oprah run a whole network though?

She isn't getting paid just to do the show.

She's in a shit ton of commercials, is a spokesperson, has a QVC line, voice acting, books...

All that shit famalam

Oprah does anything but run

Not that guy but even before the network she was already making a killing

We have the largest television market. Your country probably has 10-20 million people. We have 320 million.

No. The cameraman isn't the marketable personality that makes the show worth so much money. The show's host is the product differentiation.

you see there are these things called commercials that foreign people don't seem to have because they always bitch about them

these people pay to show their commercials on things that get good ratings that people they want to sell stuff to watch

>47 MILLION A YEAR FOR JUDGE JUDY

Hey, that's a great idea. Mr Shekelstein definitely needs more money.

>mug wage gap

Are there any nude pics of her tits? Looks like she has a nice pair.

Surely it should be spread out a little more though. $60million to host a fucking chat show is crazy.

>Your country probably has 10-20 million people
No I'm in the UK, we have 65 million people here.

I'm talking about people who work in the production, cameramen and editors etc

She's only getting about 3-4 million viewers per episode.

women are stupid and watch anything and they actually buy the crap these shows advertise

She does more than just the show she's in two of the highest grossing children's movies and she sells real estate.

Stop. Oprah is pure.

She makes more in two days than the president makes in a year.
And people still think the president is in power?

I'd bet most of her money comes from finding nemo shit

Don't the biggest shows in the US on average have a smaller individual audience than their counterparts in other countries though, where there is less choice?

It does. Ellen has an audience of people willing to pay money for stupid shit. People that sell stupid shit then pay a lot in ads during her show to the network. The network, afraid that Ellen might change network and take away the audience, and the ad money, pays her a lot.

the very answer to this question is why the wage gap isn't real.

She is the only reason the show is a success. It's basically a one woman show with guests.

Nigga who the fuck you think is paying her, the government? Where do you want the excess money to go if not the person responsible for the product?
