@KhaliVega ~ Were there ads running? Or was it a subscription service? Either way someone is getting p-p-p-paid.

@@J3SIM-38 Yes it was on satellite TV with commercials.

I also still watch the Parkers. It’s on cable and Netflix. It’s one of those sitcoms that you can put on the background while you’re doing something because you seen every episode multiple times and never miss a beat when you sit down to watch ya part.

Whaaaaat

She made more than the cast of Friends on season 1 and 2, then they made 75k per episode and increased more and more over 10 yrs. Their show had 10 times more viewers than her show. She says that she was dumb and didn’t know anything, she was making over 1 million a year just from one show. I would think you’d hire someone that could get you a better salary, even at my first job at Popeyes I’d know something is up if I didn’t get a raise. Especially if I did my job well.

Nah. It’s the year of “Hurt People Entertainment”. There’s a lesson in it, but it ain’t the one you think it is. 😂

😂😂😂 - truth as the bitter and disenfranchised see it

EXACTLY

It’s gotta change!….now and fast (but not stupidly)

@@averymott9609people like you supported slave masters

$55,000 PER EPISODE FOR PRETENDING TO BE OTHER PEOPLE😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 AND THEY DESERVED MORE....MANNNNNNN PLEASE!!! SMFH

You are worth what you negóciate for, she had horrible agents and legal teams

​@domjones_who3849 yes they do because the show was hugely successful.

@@domjones_who3849but that’s what acting and Hollywood IS RIGHT!? other actors of all colors pretend to be SOMEONE ELSE and many get paid BANK so I’m confused on the disagreement

​@@domjones_who3849 Spoken like someone who doesn't understand context.

I would love to see that

Same. That show was and still is hilarious

That's the point we all do pay them both 😂😂

Same love that show!!

Me and you both

Where is it playing?

💯

Lol, what does that mean

@9lkkjjiujjiuuu No way you this slow.

😂😂 tell me

Slippery slope

@rell2972she always kind of come off as a bully, she use to make fun of skinny girls smh

​@@ILoveTheAllCreatorYep until she got a health scare and doctors told her that she had to lose weight.

@@SammySam316 I happy she is doing better and is active in working out now. ✌️

​@@ILoveTheAllCreatorThat was her skit because she is bigger herself. Monique is literally known as a 'roaster comedian' and you are sitting here like "but she was a bully'' no my little 2024 snowflakes that was comedy of the 90s. You should not take her that serious. All the entertainment is so boring now that only Woke, Feminists and TQ+ people can 'like it' just to feel validated but they hardly watch or buy from these productions that considers them.

@@SAsaiyajin Wiseguy, I am not one of the silly gen z. I remember when Monique use to have a chip on her shoulder because she was simply jealous of women in shape. Stop being a jackass.. ✌️

He's very extra

Genuinely messy…😂

Be careful a lot of snakes will be around you if you think this guy is being real

​@@lawrencericho3635 we're Southern, not extra 😅

​@@dontdie777that's right! We're just Southern 😂

Same ! I love listening to Mo'Nique talk; it is so soothing, entertaining & thought provoking

😅😅😅😅

Hope I get a wife that looks like this at 56

@@Dgmstudios40 Do you have money? Because if you're not worth 8 fgures or more GL with that. I'm not saying because you can't get a good looking woman or women can't be good at that age. It just costs a lot of money to maintain health and appearance. Fortunately your standards are low so it's not gonna be that hard.

Almost every women looks like tht @ 56 when u drown urself in makeup & hair dye..talk to me when u see her without it..but i do appreciate her not havin any surgery's

Na she aint. All yall sheep its crazy

If she was white would you call her a strong woman?

Same

Facts

No way it made 2 billion

@ronald8071 But she guesstimated!

​@@ronald8071 it easily did. That show has aired on repeat in most countries that speak English.

This right her. The manager was getting kick backs for sure.

@@mthunziphakathi4215100% Sony email leaks showed five execs were being paid less than their subordinates. It happens all the time.

That’s her point

Her manager was her Husband. Thats the problem. It seems he knew nothing about the business and that affected her.

A lot of people don’t wanna be labeled as ‘difficult’ so they don’t ask questions . People coming from the bottom into money will take a lot. Who knows where her manager was during this time

And her manager IS?!?!?

​@@trk327was her current husband her manager at the time?

EXACTLY.....and your HUSBAND is soooo great....lmao.

​@@Warhorse1UK no she got with him AFTER the sitcom.

Y’all slow. She was not with him back then.

She needs a reality check she would kill her self if she made $18 an hour to do real work like the rest of us... She is entitled

Straight up.....

80s baby ish.... Moesha, Martin, Living Single and The Parkers was all a ghetto baby had on UPN with bootleg cable 😅😅

Did they? Everything is in the contract. "I didn't know" doesn't cut it.

It was that, Era. Same with rappers

Especially 12:00 going on 😂😂

Roles** not pastry rolls 😅

Every night.....good reach

@@GLavv-xx5udnah some of us like myself watch it every fkn day!

hamburger or hotdog?

​​@@GLavv-xx5udThe Parkers does comes on EVERY day as a matter a fact twice a day mornings and evenings.

But u don’t hear these complaints from white actors

They still make nearly 1mil in royalties. Great Agents ❤

Yep. Get good management.

​@denisehenry3427 They stood TOGETHER. This is what we lack in as African Americans smh

Friends aired on NBC for 10 seasons, 234 episodes, and was the highest rated show on network television for many of those years. The Parkers was on UPN for 5 seasons, 110 episodes, and wasn't even the highest rated show on UPN. To go further, Friends averaged around 22m viewers per episode in all over its seasons, and was in the top 10 most watched programs on ALL TV every season (being ranked number 1 in season 8). The Parkers averaged around 2.5m viewers per episode, ranking it in around 130. The two shows simply aren't comparable, and there's absolutely no reason why Mo'Nique should've been getting paid Friends, Frasier, or Seinfeld money when The Parkers was not getting that kind of viewership.

​@giovannifitzpatrick1987 she should be paid fairly based on what the show made. Yall like rationalizing racism and corporate greed.

Ikrrrrrrt

I disagree but she is speaking truth.

Someone needs to get their eyes checked. 👁️👁️

@@TF-gf3fs tell me you wasn't looking at the tiddies, SPEAK TRUTH!

She really is....

It has made over $2 billion dollars world-wide

That’s not true in the slightest lol

Then the show must have been bigger than Taylor swift lol give me a break

rigth????

I wish she went more in depth with that as how that show made that much money

Finna do it now on this good relax Saturday.🤗

always someone elses fault

The management was receiving her money 💰.

Exactly. But she blame everyone else. I never knew the ppl that's paying u supposed to school u on what to do

@@PaPanthersdid u literally sit thru this whole clip and not hear her explain what happened? Y’all are idiots…ppl are taken advantage of in Hollywood more times than none b/c it’s a ruthless and slimy business especially when you don’t have a team and good lawyers.

@@WenNRomeRiiiight

💯

Why u gotta share your race

@@nhlanhlasithole2899because she felt like it. Focus on the positivity in the message she shared with your negative self. Ugh.

Taraji fired her whole team after Empire and she was still treated slimy. Maybe the industry is just slimy.

​@@Sheilawyerright

You don't know what you don't know...she didn't know at the time obviously.

Shidd I was right there with them gasping laughing

..& still doing the "Bank-Head-Bounce", when the intro*comes on!..lol

Shannon is milking it while only dating white women.

Lol "dedication to our community" Yeah having people on to air out other people is not dedication to a community

@@hudstad You're entitled to your opinion 💅🏾

Gotta be NDAs or something for someone not to have done it yet

I mean if you don't like the contract don't do it

@@International_man_of_mystery you might be right because as much as artist and entertainers complain about contracts and as many stories as we see on them you’d think someone would have done that by now

@@Cynthiaa.c541 agreed

THATS GOOD, but THE ALL WHITE CAST OF FRIENDS MADE 1 million PER EPISODE. THATS why they are Fighting for equal pay

Hmm. I wonder if Keanu or Denzel still auditions. Leonardo auditioning nowadays. 🧐

That would be a traumatic episode. Everyone would be traumatized.

Same feeling 😂

Yo, I was wondering the same thing...where's the proof to backup said claim?

Yeahhhh she a little light in the head about those numbers😂😂😂

I like Monique, but your comment is on point!

Because they were white. And Friends audience were a predominantly white.

​@@oseiosei6649 💯💯💯

….all of this.

@@oseiosei6649 being white has zero to do with having a stupid agent smh. tbh Monique sound like she didnt know much about the business before she started signing stuff. The truth is those things are up to HER to find out, HOLLYWOOD is gonna try to shaft you. Its just the business of show business.

Same here

It's been on air on other platforms even after it left UPN. It's on Netflix now for over four years

​@@purple_kisses5408 This issue is syndication networks (Netflix, hulu..etc) routinely allocate syndication dollars based on a sitcoms popularity/revenue during its national broadcast tenure. With average viewership at 3.24 million per season during its entire broadcast tenure "The Parkers," is not considered by industry standards a successful show. Netflix and other syndication networks would have to allocate leasing/licensing budgets in the $10's of millions to make Mo'Nique's statement remotely factual.

For real..so trying say not making no money from being on these platforms...I would like to know what they are getting now in residuals ..have to be getting something

@@jameswalton2763 Syndication royalties will vary depending on contract terms and conditions. Yes, actors/actresses can receive royalties from streaming services, but it depends on the contracts they sign with production companies and distributors. Some contracts may include provisions for residual payments or back-end profits based on viewership, while others may not provide any compensation beyond the original payment for their work. Typically, actors negotiate between 2% to 4% of the producer’s gross income from streamed content. Depending upon their bargaining skills and popularity in the industry, this percentage might go up as well if the actor/actress plays a pivotal role that drives traffic on screen. Nowadays with streaming, residuals are paid out every time a show is viewed on a platform based on an agreed upon rate per view in negotiation with the performer’s union. These payments can range from a few cents to thousands or even millions of dollars depending on the success of the show/movie and other negotiation terms. Take "Friends" the 1994-2004 NBC sitcom with an average of 25.1 million viewers per season over its 10-season 236-episode span for example. The show's reruns went into syndication in 1998, and they've never left. According to the Screen Actors Guild (SAG), "Friends" generates $1 billion a year for production company Warner Bros. Of that, Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry, and David Schwimmer are contractually entitled to 2 percent, which works out to about $20 million for each of them.
