You'd have to pay me a shitload more money to watch that stupid fucking show every day, especially since:

...The contract does not include vacation time.

"For $100,000 he'd better watch that show every night," said James Hitchcock, CMT's vice president for marketing.

Even Daisy Duke would get old after a week.

If it involves banging Daisy on a regular basis, then, yes, it is a damn fine job.

no vacation, but you'd have everyday off until the show came on. this guy wouldn't be the first person to have spent a year straight on Manhattan. additionally, I don't think they play duke's on the weekends.

that's an easy hundred grand.

the strip club gig would be phenomenal if you were visiting Scores, Gold Club, Spearmint Rhino...etc. however me thinks you wouldn't be frequenting that caliber of shake bar.

There can't be more than 50-60 episodes of the Dukes.

There's a 22 year old high-school drop-out guy here in the Twin Cities who made $100,000 last year by suing telemarketers for ignoring do not call lists...etc. He has 8 phone lines and signs up for every sweepstakes he can find (how most telemarketers get their phone numbers). He records it all, sends the company a letter of intent to file, then settles for between $5,000 and $10,000 for each case.

Not a bad way to make a living.
