That seems rather too low for a comedian who'll make the network tons of money.
I think that's the point. Doug Benson knows that he's using Edgar. Notice how Benson smirks when he says 300 dollars.
I noticed that too but Edgar deserves better.
It is a pity Edgar doesn't know that. "She's not the sharpest tool in the shed, is she?""I don't even think she knows where the shed is."
