HANDLER PAYS STAFF BONUSES AFTER STRIKING MULTI-MILLION DEAL
TV host CHELSEA HANDLER treated staff on her CHELSEA LATELY show to a $1,000 (£625) bonus after she signed a new $25 million (£15.6 million), two-year deal, according to a U.S. report.
The funnywoman’s risque talk show has proved a massive hit for the E! network and TV bosses extended her contract for a further 24-months earlier this week (begs14Nov11).
To show her gratitude to the 138 employees who work on the series, Handler used $138,000 (£86,000) of her pay package to dish out bonuses, according to New York gossip column Page Six.
As part of her new deal, Handler will remain executive producer on the show and will develop further spin-off projects.
