rates do vary


the cheapest rate is guest walk out music that you guys suggest for.

actually no, the cheapest is "mid show spurts"

so if jimmy were to talk about how "eye of the tiger" scared him as a 10 year old and he goes into song. as long as the song is under 30 seconds, we have a cheap flat rate.



suggestion songs for guest are 2nd cheapest.


"walk over" songs are 3rd cheapest (the song after jimmys monologue and he says "ladies and gents THE ROOTS!"


-the best payoff songs are when musical guests perform their song in full and songs that go into and out of commercials.

totally different rates.

i have no clue why but it just is.

and therefore a cat like Prince is now cool with some of his music being used for guests, but wants WAAAAAY more if we go into "i wanna be your lover" going to commercial.

so thus NBC is like "only do prince for guest walk ons. NOT fir commercials.

so to answer your questions, these suggestions can ONLY be for "jimmy desk walk music"
