Taylor Sheridan's shows are among the costliest ever made.

and I got the receipts that explain why: $23,519.19 saddles, a $214,979.61 "Cowboy Camp" and $50,000/week to film at Taylor's ranch. Inside Paramount's struggle to rein in its hitmaker:

Paramount spent close to $200 million for the first season of “1923,” starring Harrison Ford & Helen Mirren as Depression-era ranchers. For the eight-episode season that ran from December through February, that comes out to roughly $500,000 per minute.

Last time we hung out, Evan Gershkovich told me about riding the bench as a freshman during his college-soccer team's Sweet 16 game. Then he subbed in for the penalty shootout — and calmly delivered the winner. Evan's a competitor and winner worth fighting for. #IStandWithEvan
