‘The Big Bang Theory’ Cast Receiving Bigger Paydays
Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki are next in line to receive higher salaries for their work on The Big Bang Theory after their co-stars, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch, just inked new deals bringing them up from $20K and $30K an episode to around $60K.
The salary bumps will be quite higher for the show’s leads though. Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar are currently paid $125K and $75K per episode where as Parsons, Cuoco, and Galecki are currently pulling in 300K per episode. New negotiations seek to put the 3 stars above $500K an episode.
Parsons, Cuoco and Galecki took the famous Friends-like route of negotiating three years prior, but their current deals expire in the spring at the end of Big Bang‘s seventh season.
Seem like a lot of money? With The Big Bang Theory currently ranked as TV’s most watched comedy, we’re actually surprised it’s not more.
