Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, and Jim Parsons are all in the million-dollar club of TV stars.
Parsons actually walked away from a two-year, $50-million dollar deal to do two more seasons of “The Big Bang Theory.” That’s why CBS decided to end it after this season.
And it was recently reported that the five central stars of “This is Us” – Milo Ventimiglia, Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Chrissy Metz, and Justin Hartley – renegotiated their contracts to make $250-thousand dollars each per episode for the third season, which kicked off Tuesday night.
