It’s official actor Ashton Kutcher will replace Charlie Sheen in the popular CBS sitcom, Two and a Half Men.
This move to replace Sheen is no shock to me as he has been struggling with substance abuse and most recently had fallen out with Chuck Lorre, the creator of the hit sitcom.
Kutcher, will join the remaining cast in a “re-tooled” version in Season 9 of Two and a Half Men. He’s excited about the new gig; and assures the fans of the show he’s not trying to replace Charlie Sheen.
“I can’t replace Charlie Sheen but I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!”
Kutcher will be paid $500,000 per episode which is only a fraction of what Charlie Sheen was paid per episode. He was paid $1.25 million per episode and if you want to add back-end profit sharing Sheen made about $2 million.
Two and a Half Men is one of my guilty pleasures, but I gotta say Ashton Kutcher wassup with that contract?
