CBS featured a controversial shake up earlier this summer when both Grace Park and Daniel Dae Kim exited the long-running procedural Hawaii Five-0 over a contract dispute. The actors and showrunners have previously commented on the departures, and CBS President Kelly Kahl spoke out about the nature of the exits during the network's Television Critics' Association press tour day.
When asked for more clarity on Park and Kim's Season 8 exits and the reports that it was due to their being offered lower salaries than their white co-stars, Kahl wouldn't get into specifics about the deal or the negotiations. "We never like to lose characters the audience loves off long-running shows. It's the nature of the business. We made very lucrative offers to those actors," Kahl said.
