"We started out making $3,000 an episode on The Amanda Show, and then by the time we finished Drake & Josh, which was like 60 episodes total for the whole show, the average rate per episode was about $15,000. So over four years we ended up making about $900,000. But I think we probably, between agent, manager, and taxes, cleared half of that."
