CBS CEO Les Moonves weighs in on Angus T. Jones, 'Men'

Will he stay or will he go?

It's unclear exactly what the future will be for actor Angus T. Jones on Two and a Half Men in the wake of his video dissing of his own sitcom last week. Jones followed up with a public apology. But as you can imagine, the remarks didn't sit well with CBS CEO Les Moonves.

"We took this boy who started with us when he was eight years old and it seems to be what happens with child stars over the course of time," Moonves said at a breakfast hosted by the Wall Street JournalonTuesday.

"He's now making over $300,000 per week, which is not a bad salary for a 19-year-old kid," Moonves said, "and he went on a religious channel and urged people not to watch the show because it was filth. By the way, he's still collecting his $300,000 per week."

As for whether Jones is still on the show, Moonves said, "I don't know what our status is with him." But he added, "After going through what we went through with Charlie Sheen, it's been a piece of cake."

CBS and Warner Bros., the studio that produces Two and a Half Men, have declined to officially comment on the situation, but as USA TODAY's Bill Keveney previously reported, Men had two episodes remaining to shoot before the holiday break and Jones was not slated to appear in either of them. They were written before the controversy erupted. Jones' character, Jake Harper, recently joined the Army and hasn't appeared often this season.
