You would too if you were selling in the same venue. You woulld not believe the overhead to run one of those shows. For starters the network takes 25% of the gross right off the top. Then they have to pay for the air time (No the 25% did not buy the air time.) Then there is studio rent, and saleries, at union scale, for the on air talent, the producer, the director, two cameramen, a sound tech, at least one lighting tech, makeup personel, and probably at least one or two "gophers".
