Title: Did NBC pay Lou for putting his face on TV tonite?

Two shots of Lou = $40 and you'd probably have to add another $50 or so on account of it being on TV and all.

Just heard from a pretty reliable source that Lou was not paid for his appearance on NBC.

I find that hard to believe.  Especially when they called him the Hulk and not just a shot of him sitting in the crowd watching.  He was featured which usually means he signed a release and I would think unless it somehow benefits him and not the promotion of the movie (which the whole show was doing) then I would think he got paid something.  Whenever he guest stars on a show he gets a minimum of $6500+  I don't think he got near this much but who knows.  But to say he got nothing is something I find hard to see is true.  Unless your source is Lou himself or one of the producers of the show

He was invited to attend, of course, but what's the chance he willingly did it for free?
