The hit show The Big Bang Theory is officially set for three more seasons after three of the sitcom’s leads secured seven-figure paychecks.
Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco will each bank $1 million per episode, Deadline Hollywood reports, marking the first time since Friends that three actors in one program will each make that much per episode.

CBS has good reason to be dishing out the cash. Since the show’s premiere in 2007, Big Bang Theory has become television’s highest-rated comedy with more than 20 million viewers per week. It’s rated No. 1 among the 12-to-17 age group, as well as 18-to-49 and 25-to-54. That kind of audience diversity has allowed the network to charge upwards of $320,000 for a 30-second advertisement.
Holy shite, I had no idea that type of money was in TV.

Don't remember Friends?

Never watched and knew nothing about it. I know if acting was so easy anybody would do it but making a mil per episode of TBBT has to be the easiest steady flow of million dollar paychecks ever.

I wonder what they make on the 10+ reruns that play on a daily basis?

There is ridiculous money in TV

Holy frick. So they're making what, 20+ mil a year just from episodes?

Judge Judy is about to make bank and all she does is yell at people

I could see that for Parsons and even Cuoco. But really I've always found Galecki to be the weak point of that cast. Seems like a ton of actors could have filled that role.

Everybody else on the cast makes like $50K per episode, but I guess as long as the show stays steady as a ratings monster spoke on that CBS wheel they'll probably get their mega deals one day.

The two and half men guys were making close to this before Sheen blew up.

I honestly know nothing about it. Because I can't get through 10 minutes of it. I don't like trashing shows though. If I don't like a show and you so then...sucks for me.

Why are they discriminating the Jewish guy and the Indian guy? Racists!

Actually the other 2 main characters are next in line for increases. Easily not top 3 money though.
I do like how reporters think they're witty in referencing the show. As in, "rejoice nerds, BBT re-upped for 3 more seasons" and "geeks can relax, BBT actors getting paid".
The show is geared for average folks.

A total of 72 episodes in 3 years and the door was left open for another season. Ridiculous.
