How much does an Oscar host get paid?

Post by Eenusch »

I've often wondered about this.

According to the new biography Johnny Carson by lawyer Henry Bushkin, Carson was paid $15,000 for hosting the Oscars in 1981.

Even adjusting for inflation, it seems like a small amount.

Maybe the exposure on the second-most televised event of the year is deemed payment enough.
