Good for him. I say get as much cash now while you can, because there's a very good chance that the audience might get totally sick of Glee some time in the second season.
The swipe at Cory Monteith is not needed Ms. Miller, he's actually a decent singer and a good actor, and he definitely doesn't make as much money from the show as Murphy; like the rest of the cast, he looks overworked and underpaid...
