Ryan Murphy's Netflix Payday Reignites Hollywood's Wage Gap Debate
Ryan Murphy is the latest A-list producer to sign with Netflix. ZIMBIO's Areeba Abid joins Cheddar to discuss whether the mogul is worth a reported $300 million price tag. Murphy is the creative mind behind hits such as "Glee," "American Horror Story," and "American Crime Story."
