    More or less than the business associate who basically just had to sit there looking professional & hungry?

    I'm guessing closer to $1,000 than $10,000. I've seen a few contracts for voiceover guys for local TV news stations and they were in the hundreds per month. Voiceover guys also have a union which I think standardizing the pricing a good bit. Of course, Kraft commercials are a lot more widely distributed than the local news and homeless voice guy might command more because of his star quality. But I'd still go much closer to 1K than 10k.

    Also, Tony Giles gets like $150 a game... maybe $250 now. Maybe that helps you ballpark it. :D

    The man needs rehab more than he needs another macaroni commercial.

    He has an amazing opportunity to use that million dollar voice, no chance he can succeed with that two cent head. Hoping he can get some real help, instead of just another TV appearance.

    He's hired a publicist.

    His daughter wanted him to go to rehab, and he said no, no, no.

    Sure, 21, but as I said when this thread started, you don't end up on the street by accident.

    You end up there because you have a multitude of serious issues. My point being that just giving this guy a job was always highly, highly unlikely to be enough.
