On Jimmy Kimmel Live! Monday, Kimmel asked Wanda Sykes how much she was getting paid to co-host the Oscars this year alongside Regina Hall and Amy Schumer. “I don’t even know it’s, like, scale probably,” she said. “It’s less than that,” Kimmel said. “I got paid $15,000 to host the Oscars. And there’s one of me! You guys will probably have to split that.” Sykes added, “I was real excited about [the opportunity], but then I realized, out of all the jobs that I have, this one is actually gonna cost me money.” Kimmel told her she should renegotiate now and that she’s “getting robbed.”
Here's the complete conversation. Kind of an interesting behind-the-scenes chat!
