13227768, Of course Schumer did/probably would. That's not where I'm coming Posted by kfine, Sun Jan-21-18 09:23 PM
from though. I think I fall more inline with.. Schumer has superhuman representation who got her more than I think she should have, and Mo'Nique is being undervalued and got low-balled. I would have expected them both to be negotiating in the 7-figure range, if that's the window female comediennes can land in nowadays. I believe there's some underlying gender/race/age-related bias as to why even that was not the case.
But I also don't think MSG's a fair metric because they have such egregiously different demographics. It's kind of like asking "Who would sell out MSG.. Cardi B or Erykah Badu?" And using that as the barometer for their career productivity.
Which is also why I proposed somewhere else in the thread that perhaps a Netflix special was never even a good fit for Mo'Nique. And her aversion to promotional activity definitely hurts her too, since that diminishes her leverage, negotiation-wise. In this day and age even if you have receipts.. you have to continuously remind folks or you lose credibility. People even questioned whether Beyonce could sing after that anthem incident, lol
