When buying comedy specials, Netflix has developed a habit of throwing ridiculously large sums of money at big-name comedians in order to draw them to the service. Some of those sums, however, are markedly smaller for different comedians. Variety reports that, while Chris Rock and Dave Chappelle were given $20 million per special as part of their deals with Netflix (Rock is making two for $40 million; Chappelle, three for $60 million), Amy Schumer had signed a deal for about $11 million with the service for The Leather Special last year. According to a source who spoke to Variety, Schumer then went back and negotiated for “significantly more compensation,” pointing out how much Netflix had offered to Rock and Chappelle. Standing up for yourself pays, and so does doing business with a streaming service.


Yeah, cause she's that big of a draw nowadays.

I actually think both her old material and sketch show are funny, but the leather special was awful. And yeah, obviously comparing her to Rock and Chapelle is ridiculous.

So if chapelle and rock negotiated for more, she would also negotiate for more, even though she's not 1/10 of funny as they are or draws as many people?

This but if she was threatening to scream sexism, eh not really. Social extortion isn't the same as negotiating your value.

Chappelle coming to Netflix was like the second coming of Jesus so I understand why he got paid so much. Chris Rock is funny, but I don't think 40m is appropriate and I certainly don't think Amy deserves anything more than a million for her act.

a negotiation is a negotiation. If she asks for more, and they're willing to give it, more power to her. It's not like Netflix doesn't have the ability to say "Nah, this is the most we'll pay you".

Chris Rock is universally funny

Has done tours that included overseas stops and it was sold out.

Yeah I remember seeing fliers when he was out here in Australia. Bummed I missed him. I recently missed Jerry Seinfeld as well... I don't think he's as much funny as much as I would just like to see someone I've spent tens (hundreds?) of hours on a TV screen.

I have several thoughts about this:

1. Good for her. She negotiated a deal and got a better offer, fair play
2. She doesn't deserve as much as they got because she's a much shittier comedian
3. She got away with this because gender wage gaps is a hot topic and you can bet she would have made it one if she refused, and Netflix don't want that kind of PR

So? The amount of money she makes doesn't mean she's on the same level of people who make that much money...if Netflix wants to give it to her then who cares? Would you not try to get more money or would you say "Man..I'm not as good as Chappelle yet, I'll settle for less when i know i can get more"...She sucks, I agree....terribly unfunny...But I don't see why trying to get more money from people willing to give it to her is worthy of mocking her..

Netflix stock holders, I grant that she earned the money through negotiations but that doesn't mean she is actually worth that much. She still has bring her worth to a Netflix subscription and I see no reason to assume she has.

No, it means she is worth that much to Netflix. That comment was more about ability, and the people who will say "she's not as funny as Chappelle she doesn't deserve that much!"....Yea maybe. Matt Stafford is no where near as good of a QB as Aaron Rodgers is but he will eventually be the highest paid QB in the league. Its just how negotiations like that work and I'm not going to attack her for trying to get every dime she can.

If Netflix is willing to pay Amy $20 million and Chapelle $40 million per, but he only asks for $20 million, they are paid the same without it reflecting a difference in value between them.

She's a cousin of Chuck Schumer, the very same current minority leader of the senate.

you could say this about all of the netflix stand up specials, though, I'm sure

as an aside, it seems p. difficult to determine how much these kind of things are "worth"

And that means to Netflix, she is on the same level as them.

I was going to use the QB example but its doesn't fit because to the Lions, Stafford is a franchise QB. While he may not be on the same level of QB as Rodgers, he's getting paid because the Lions believe in him.
