“Drake and Josh” premiered on January 11, 2004. Starring Drake Bell and Josh Peck, as well as the hilarious appearance of Miranda Cosgrove as Megan, the series became a hit for Nickelodeon. Now, with the reboots and remakes that have been made in these times, fans expect to see a revival of the iconic show, although this does not seem to happen, due to a recent controversy between the titular roles.

Although the aforementioned actors became icons for thousands of children and adolescents, everything indicates that Bell and Peck’s salary did not fully represent the impact they had on TV. This was revealed by the latter in an interview with Dear Media’s Trading Secrets (via Telehit).
“The reality is that, when we were making the program, We did 60 episodes and made about $15,000 per episode.” Peck mentioned.
“So in the end we are left — after agent and manager commission and taxes — with about $450,000 over five years, which comes down to just under $100,000 a year,” he added.
Clearly, that amount allowed him to give himself some luxuries, although it was not to have a life full of eccentricities. “My mother and I had a second-hand BMW 5 series. We lived in a two-bedroom apartment with amenities, “she detailed, in addition to specifying that she had a” very middle-class life.

He also commented that, although the aforementioned sounds like a fairly reasonable amount for a young artist, the truth is that his fortune would have increased significantly if he had participated in other well-known shows.
“I can only speak from my experience, but I think we all know that if I had been in a series like “Two and a half men” or “Modern family” and I had become the darling of a big television network, yes you could say that now I would have enough money for the rest of my life,” he said.
As you remember, “Two and a Half Men” starred Angus T. Jones, who became the highest paid boy on TV. But with fame at such a young age, he decided to withdraw from the public eye and lash out at the production that gave him worldwide recognition.
