Expensive Laughs.

The article offers a look at the income of some television actors and actresses. Producers made the 'Everybody Loves Raymond' star's 2001 raise retroactive to the previous two 24-show seasons. Kelsey Grammer's $1.6 million-an-episode deal for the show 'Frasier,' inked in 2001, makes him the best-paid television actor ever. David Hyde Pierce who plays Niles on the show pulls down $750,000 to $1 million. Animal actors in Hollywood average $300 a day, but Jack Russell terrier Moose, who plays Eddie on the show, gets thrown a much bigger bone. One-for-all negotiating won the 'Friends' sextet $1 million each per episode for their not-so-final ninth season.
