THE CORSICANA, (TEXAS) DAILY SUN, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1955 FIVE Bob Hope Setting 'Single Telecast Salary Record By JACK O'BBIAN NEW YORK, Jan. 12 (INS) Bob Hope today became the highest paid entertainer for one appearance in the history of show business when he signed to accept $100,000 for a one hour telecast Jan. 17 for General Motors. Reports of that fortune it figures out to about $2,000 a minute after time is deducted for commercials had trickled into TV row (possibly by way of a jubilant tax department) for several days. Today Variety, the show business publication, gave the rumors front page corroboration.

The $100,000 gives Bob a $75,000 boost above his customary TV take- home. The job to emcee the General Motors "Motorama" is the same one Arthur Godfrey handled last year for a mere $15,000, says Variety. The hour will be entirely ad lib; therefore no writer's expense. General Motors will 'pay for all production. Although several stars have been offered box car figures (Judy Garland, Danny Kaye, Clark Gable, Noel Coward) the nearest to Hope's new salary record to date has been Betty Hutton.

She received $50,000 for an NBC spectacular, "Satins and Spurs." Milton Berle gets $30,000 a show (next year and Godfrey grosses about $30,000 a week from all his day and night exposure. Gleason's whole show next fall ($7,000,000 or $11,000,000 CBS contract) calls for $65,000 for a whole show including payroll and production, Hope's $100,000 will be shared only with Uncle Sam.
