Yeah, Crowder wasn't getting a 50 mil salary, he was getting a $12m/yr budget. He had to pay everything out of that to make the show- employees, equipment, studio space, insurance, security, etc. On top of that he wasn't getting any (IIRC) of the merch or ad money and losing a bunch of control.
Any money DW took wasn't just a taking money out of his pocket, it was taking away his ability to pay for the entire production- and he couldn't even reduce production quality of the show to save money as per the contract.
"Oy vey, isn't an annual budget of $12m enough? Surely, you don't need more than $10m. I would kill to have $8m every year!"
Still my favorite (New York) Jew joke.
I've only seen it in the 4 panel comic form
I couldn't tell you the original author, but it has the same decreasing-amount-of-money flow every time:
A young Jewish boy goes up to his father and asks for $20 to attend the school field trip the next day.
"$20?" says the father... "What do you need $10 for?"
"$5 is a lot of money."
I feel like I've seen Norm MacDonald tell his rendition of the joke, and I generally recommend Norm's telling of a joke over anyone else's.
