Revealed: What Sofia Vergara, Jim Parsons, Mark Harmon and Other TV Stars Make

Variety is out this morning with its annual TV talent salary survey and it’s really good news for the 86 drama, comedy, reality and news stars on the list.
Some of the dollar signs attached to names won’t be a surprise, as they’ve been reported elsewhere; e.g., Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel are each paid an estimated $15 million per year to host their respective late night talk shows, while Jimmy Fallon edges them both out with a $16 million paycheck.
