Just a quick question before we get started: do people actually watch The Big Bang Theory? I know CBS face fucks us with the ads during football games, but are people really sitting down and watching a network show about quantum physics or are we all just tuning in for Kaley Cuoco? The latter I can understand, but I cannot articulate my thoughts on the #1 show on television better than this dude…

Only reason I ask is because Variety released a list of the top earning TV actors for several genres, and the top THREE earning actors for the comedy genre are from the Big Bang Theory.
Per Variety,
Variety conducted a wide survey of actors, executives, attorneys, agents, managers, and other representatives in an effort to offer a snapshot of the earnings power of talent at all levels in primetime, late-night, daytime, and news.
The figures presented here are estimates based on extensive research to determine talent paydays in the most current seasons of specific series.I’ve condensed each list to the Top 5 earners for each genre, but you can check out the full list HERE.
COMEDY (per episode)
DRAMA (per episode)

Judge Judy deserves every penny of that $47 million. No joke, if she entered the presidential race today, I’d vote for her. #I’m With Her.
