However, LeBlanc was short on success up until that point.
“I think I was down to 11 dollars,” he said.
Though he did have some success in commercials, nothing changed his life quite like “Friends.”
The show gained an enormous following in its first week alone with nearly 22 million viewers, viaMetro UK.
Joey Tribbiani, LeBlanc’s character, became a favorite among fans for his lovable, goofy demeanor.
As the show continued to rise in popularity, so did LeBlanc’s paycheck.
Season 3 brought in a pay raise, with each cast member earning $75,000 per episode.
Interestingly, LeBlanc played himself in the sitcom “Episodes,” from 2011 to 2017, perVariety.
