Former Nickelodeon Star Jennifer Hyatt Tedmori Highlights $30 in Tiny Residual Checks

Former child actress Jennifer Hyatt Tedmori posted an Instagram video revealing the residual payments she receives from her past roles on Nickelodeon's *Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide* and The CW’s *90210* reboot. The checks ranged from a few cents to $1.11, with the total amount amounting to $30.06. In the video she exclaimed, “All of two cents. See all of this paper I’m just littering in my car for two f‑king cents,” and later joked, “Maybe I can go buy a coffee at Starbucks?” She criticized the costs of mailing the checks and expressed surprise at receiving any money at all.

The revelation underscores how residuals for former child actors can be minimal, prompting discussion about the compensation structure for syndicated television reruns.
