Josh Peck revealed on the “Financial Tea with Mrs. Dow Jones” podcast that he and his “Drake and Josh” castmates earned far less from the Nickelodeon series than fans might assume, with take-home pay landing around $125,000 a year over the show’s four-year run.

Peck told the podcast’s host that the cast started out making $3,000 an episode on “The Amanda Show” before moving to “Drake and Josh,” which ran 60 episodes total. By the time the show wrapped, the average per-episode rate had climbed to about $15,000.
