Jay Leno should doubtless be on this list. 68.33.227.184 ( talk) 04:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
A lot of the references cited are really old and a few of these hosts/presenters/actors have retired or changed shows. Hugh Laurie, Ashton Kutcher etc need to be added. There needs to be an updated list. A different current list & an all-time highest paid list needs to be created.

This page is really out of date. Most of the figures are wrong and some of the highest paid are missed out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iakobski ( talk • contribs) 18:48, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
I cant find any sources saying the cast are paid upwards of 1 million $ per episode. Daiyusha ( talk) 07:25, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
What about the modern family. Sophia Vergara by every other source is listed as the highest paidf person on television and yet she is not even mentioned. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.253.32.83 ( talk) 00:54, 20 January 2018 (UTC)

User:Jojocc, please stop removing sourced content or you will be reported. You have been reverted by different users for your behavior. So I suggest you stop, the soures clearly says the cast earn 2 million. - AffeL ( talk) 16:55, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
Does anyone know how to fix the table so the list is from highest-paid to lowest-paid, the cast of Friends, Gandolfini, Seinfeld and so on appear together because their salaries were the same, but the earlier dates appear first? Currently, if one clicks "Salary" the "Year" parameter automatically arranges them from late to early so that Seinfeld is on the bottom, but this doesn't make sense because according to the list Seinfeld was the highest paid in history at that time.

It would be a better idea to sort income in inflation-adjusted figures. Helen Hunt and Paul Reiser's salaries in 1988 would be equivalent to $2.07m in today's money, putting them far ahead of even Charlie Sheen. Food for thought.
@ TheDragonFire: @ Betty Logan: @ Affel: @ Jojocc: Sources contradict on whether the "Tier A" actors had their salaries raised to 1.1 million USD or 2 million GBP. See this source analysis, in particular this. The show's budget is in USD, so the actors are not getting paid in GBP, and only, at most, three of the five would even have reason to think of their salaries in GBP.
If The Hollywood Reporter and the derivative TV CheatSheet and Telegraph articles are correct, then the actors ... probably still warrant a place on this list, as they would be higher up than any actors' current salaries (assuming the Big Bang Theory cast didn't get another raise). But still, the fact that reliable sources contradict, the higher estimate comes from generally less reliable sources, and the higher figure is definitely an inaccurate guesstimate USD-GBP coversion anyway even if it is "true" means the list needs more nuance than is currently there.

I should have discused this before, but as I said I missed this comment.That excuse is difficult to take as sincere; you've done the same on like three separate pages at roughly the same time; in one of those cases (the season eight draft) you only stopped when I brought in an outside party who wasn't restricted by 1RR, and in the other ( Talk:Olenna Tyrell) you just stopped discussing. I highly doubt that if I re-added the maintenance template on that page you would just let it stand. More likely you would just revert and re-state your personal opinion that maintenance templates require talk page consensus to be added. You can ask CurtisNaito ( talk · contribs) what happens when you hold that opinion and push it too far.
I would not call that personal attacks.You said "Their is an user on wikipedia who is biased and not neutral when he/she edits wikipedia. The person is clearly a book purist who hates the show." without providing any evidence, because no such evidence exists. This is a personal attack. Please read WP:WIAPA. And besides that, a whole bunch of your other comments about/to me don't make any sense unless read under the assumption that you think I am some anti-GOT POV-pusher and are trying to troll me. Randomly talking about how the show is much better than the books and GRRM has said nice things about the show in discussions where this was completely irrelevant, for example.
What do you mean by retract?Take it back. Apologize. Admit you didn't mean to cause offense as you did. Say you won't do it again.
About the GoT salary, do you think if we change the table to how it was like this [...] [i]t would be alright?Yeah, that would be fine. Ideally we would be able to figure out whether the 2mGBP figure is just bullshit, but assuming the only source discussing the issue is the Telegraph article I dug up, we don't really have that as an option.
The Big Bang Theory actors, for instance, were never the highest paid in history, and if The Hollywood Reporter (as cited in The Telegraph) are right then neither are the five Game of Thrones actors. No matter which GOT source is correct, assuming at least one of them is, then the BBT actors are now lo longer either the highest paid ever or the currently highest paid, so their continued inclusion is somewhat confusing. Should the list currently included under the heading "Network primetime salaries per episode" be split, à la List of highest-grossing films#Highest-grossing films and List of highest-grossing films#High-grossing films by year? Or maybe reformatted to include a "Peak" parameter like the former? Hijiri 88 ( 聖 やや) 22:17, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
The 2 million pound (2.6 million dollars) figure emerges from several sources such as this one and this one which all state that the actors get a cut the actors get paid a bit when the episodes air in different countries (170) + reruns (or "They contain complex bonus clauses based on shared percentages of syndication payments received from more than 170 countries in which the series is broadcast." from here, which I know it's the most reliable source, but it just explains it better than I did. Maybe don't add it to the table, since it's not confirmed, but perhaps edit the note slightly to reflect these thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.66.20.89 ( talk) 05:09, 18 July 2017 (UTC)
Should the title of the page be changed? In its current form, it is slightly misleading, my opinion is that it should only include "American" actors. Kit Harington and Hugh Laurie are two prime examples as both are British. In short could I propose a rename to "List of highest paid actors in American television", instead of the concurrent? Thanks all Night fury 13:43, 27 July 2017 (UTC)
So, there are currently a couple sources ( x) citing $500,000 as the main 5 from GoT's salary which is in conflict with the other various reports ( x) of 1.1 million with upwards of over 2 million. Which number do we want to use?-- QueerFilmNerd ( talk) 01:35, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
Why is this list using the TBBT cast for when the took a paycut and not when they were being paid a million dollars for season 9 and 10? -- 137.59.194.147 ( talk) 06:21, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
Yeah it's weird. Ellen's salary seems spurious too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.221.86.254 ( talk) 11:16, 4 April 2019 (UTC)
Anyone know if the number cited for SJP is her number just as an actress? She was also a producer on SATC and since the title of this article is "stars", it probably shouldn't include the money that multi hyphenates get as producers/directors/writers etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schnapps17 ( talk • contribs) 04:34, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
There are several sources claiming that Fran Drescher, the producer and actress of 'The Nanny,' made over 1 million per episode. Why is she not included in that list? 2A02:3100:5DA3:6D00:5175:F80C:CA2E:10EB ( talk) 15:29, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
