The former SNL star gave the figure to New York magazine/Vulture after he was asked what his biggest splurge was after his first SNL paycheck. "Do you guys know what they pay us? It's like three grand (£2361) an episode." He then joked, "I think I got dinner." SNL is in its 50th season, and each season runs for between 18 and 22 episodes. That means cast members who appear in every episode earn between $54,000 (£42,500) and $66,000 (£51,900) per year. It's believed the more seasons they're in, the more they earn per episode.
