I thought the top three made $1 million per episode. Don't forget Jim Parsons must make extra for his voice over on Young Sheldon.

Not sure how accurate the list may be. Kaley Cuoco should surely be up there with Parsons and Galecki.

@Cakers3 The list was for male actors.

The majority of his scenes are done on location, in all kinds of weather.
But for some reason, many of the actors on The Walking Dead are paid less than most other TV actors. Guess they need a better agent.

At one time it was the #1 show on cable.

@software Just a complete guess ..... maybe The Walking Dead actors are paid less because they only do 16 episodes instead of the usual 22-24 episodes of network shows.

Or maybe cable TV doesn't pay as much as network TV?

It's a good question.

@lmt Got it. Thanks. I didn't distinguish between the terms actors and actresses.

D'oh.

Very interesting information about Sofia Vergara. I wouldn't think she would be number one on the list.

So it seems that they're including revenue other than their TV salary. Movie deals, commercials etc.

Sofia Vergara is currently the highest-paid television actress in the world, according to Forbes.

Vergara has been the world's highest-paid television actress for the past six years in a row. (Forbes' period ran from June 2016 to June 2017.)

Vergara reportedly made a whopping $41.5 million this past year - $15.5 million more than the world's highest paid film actress, Emma Stone.

According to Forbes' list of the world's highes paid TV actresses in 2017, Vergara's big financial gain this year comes not only from her role on the hit series "Modern Family," but from two licensing deals, and her uber-popular line of perfumes.

While the other women on the list have made exorbitant amounts of money this past year, none have even come close to beating Vergara's earnings.

@Shawnie

I read somewhere that the highest paid actress currently is Ellen Pompeo on Grey's Anatomy. Would love to see the top ten, though.

Considering what they do for a living, their salaries are ridiculous. They lucked out.

@Daisy Sunflower

These salaries aren't based on just what they "do for a living". Top actors often get percentage points of the shows' profits.

@Tinkrbl44 It's possible that Ellen Pompeo is now the highest paid actress on TV, but according to the figures in 2017, she would've had to take a HUGE jump to beat Sofia Vergara.
