The only real response I can think of to finding out this news is “duh” and “it’s about time.” But alas some more The Big Bang Theory stars are getting a raise in their pay. This time it’s the female stars who appropriately held out for more money on what’s been the most popular comedy on TV for nearly a decade now.
The Big Bang Theory’s Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch will be joining the ranks of TV’s highest-paid actresses, thanks to a new deal with Warner Bros. that will pay them in the range of $425,000-$500,000 per episode for the next two seasons of TV’s most popular show, according to Deadline.
The actresses’ deal comes after the show’s original cast members — Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar — reached a deal that will pay them each around $900,000 per episode. That cleared the way for last month’s two-season pickup. Bialik and Rauch are being paid less due to their later start date on the show (they became series regulars in Season 4).
Not bad for having come into the show after the 4th season. DId you know they were only making about $60,000 per episode in season 7? Seems ludicrous right?
But here’s the real question. What does Kevin Sussman AKA Stewart make per episode? I have no idea if this is true but I’ve heard $50,000 which is unbelievable. He makes nearly as much as Rauch and Bialik did when they had starring roles. Rumor has it that Sussman’s net worth is $3 million.
