INSPIRATIONAL! Eddie McGuire Earns A Fortune Doing Absolutely Nothing

Screw Anthony Robbins and his motivational talks on how to be a success. I’ve found myself a new hero, and it’s the man I like to refer to as Uncle Ed, Channel 9’s Eddie McGuire. Why? Oh, just because the dude is savvy enough to ensure he gets paid ridiculously massive amounts for doing bugger all.

Eddie McGuire is my God now.

(Channel Nine’s) most expensive star – McGuire – has spent just 2½ hours on national TV this year, filling in for Tracy Grimshaw as host of A Current Affair.

McGuire earned a reported $5.2 million in his first year after stepping down as short-lived Nine CEO in May last year. He is reported to be on a $4.3 million annual salary while sitting idle – and without a show – on Nine.

I wish to remind Channel Nine that, much like Eddie Actually Not Everywhere Anymore, I also have not been doing anything for the station for the past year, and I will assume for now that my cheque is in the mail..
