Join us for the AGT clips where Jason asks Fluffy how much he made off his show at Dodgers Stadium
How much money did you make at Dodger Stadium that night?
That's what I want to know.
A lot of people think that I made a killing.
Yeah, however, you know the amount of money that was spent
not only on the staff and the renting of the facility and
the promotion.
Oh, there was a lot of money spent on promos.
I did not want empty seats and I would rather go broke promoting
and making sure that we oversold than making a profit.
I was not concerned about making a profit.
Got you.
You have heard that about MSG actually.
MSG.
Yeah, same thing.
Madison Square Garden, not the stuff that makes Chinese food
taste amazing.
Keeps you coming back for more.
No, that I want to say that I think we broke even on it.
I think we broke even on it.
No way.
Yeah.
I mean we spent a lot of money on promotion.
A lot.
Damn.
I did not.
I was not about to take a chance.
So it's just more of like a vanity play.
Well to be able to say you did it once once, you know, once
we did the show and it was edited clearly, I you know, made
a killing on it through Netflix.
Got it because you know, we recorded a special so Netflix
took really good care of me.
And then of course there was the performance fee.
I was talking about this yesterday with Adam Ray.
What does a Netflix special pay?
That's we were talking about.
I think it depends on the comic Netflix has been known to
pay as you know, as little as $100,000 for a comedy special
and I think Chappelle's made God, I can't speak and exactly
how much but it was like 60 mil.
I think it was it's got to be special.
Yeah, so it's it ranges.
What about Gabriel Iglesias?
Gabriel Iglesias has made a comfortable living with taking
exceptional care of me.
Damn it.
Yeah, can't get it out of him a lot a lot a lot.
I consider myself to be in the top three on Netflix.
Okay, so that's Chappelle, Brock and then Gabriel Iglesias.
Well, yeah, but remember they were talking about Amy Schumer
and they were talking about all these other comics that were
in the mix.
Oh, Amy Schumer too.
Yeah, I'm easily top three on the on the pay scale.
Suppose we could look it up right now.
If you want to.
Yeah, if you really want the scoop dude, you got it on your
phone.
You have endless information.
I guarantee you that coming up now based on the performance.
I know that Tom is going to get next next go around.
I'm sure he'll get an impressive race.
Oh, yeah, because his special did very well.
It did very well every day.
I turn on Netflix and I'm like he's still in the top 10, you
know, and if you're still in the top 10 two weeks later, you're
performing very well.
Okay, and you don't need Netflix to give you the report because
they're very stingy with the numbers.
They don't give you know, they don't want to give you the
information to give you the numbers.
They'll give me an idea like they won't give you the actual
legit breakdown not like if you did like, let's say a sitcom
and like, oh, yeah, the reports are in and this many people
tuned in.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, the ratings there.
They keep they keep everything and you have no stand-up tips
for me.
Is that mainly what this is?
You just want to get myself doing.
I gotta be on stage tonight at 8 o'clock.
I don't want to do myself in this.
Hey, we put a blonde wig on you.
You go on out there.
Ladies and gentlemen, Jason Nash.
Hey, he's funnier than divorce.
My kids are my kids are getting older, you know, where do you
tan?
Yeah, I've always heard that about Netflix too.
They don't yeah, they don't release like anything like even
for shows.
They barely release like many people watch anything.
It's interesting.
That's what they're saying about the strike is is that the
actors want more money and Netflix won't show how much money
they have because right?
They don't have the money.
Yeah, and it's not as good as you think the profits are not
there and they spend so much on so many shows like this man
special.
But if you're moving the dial, they're going to compensate
you for moving the dial, but if people aren't, you know, if
you don't get that that that bump, you know, they're right
because people could say whatever they want about Chappelle
good or bad moves the dial.
Yeah, he moves the doubt people talk about him.
They talk about him.
They talk about him to talk about him.
Yeah, and hey, you know, even if you don't like him, you're
what they're talking about and that's going to keep moving
that dial.
