Forbes have released its annual list of the highest paid TV actors in Hollywood and we got to say, it would make you want to bang your head off the wall. No really, puns aside, it actually would.
At number one is actor Jim Parsons of The Big Bang Theory who banked a staggering $29 million between June 2014 and June 2015, with his co-star Johnny Galecki coming in at number 2 with 27 million, while fellow stars Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar came in joint third.
Seriously, is it just us or is Big Bang the most overrated show on the telly box? We've tried, we've really tried but just no. Have you ever watched it without the canned laughter?
Case in point:
2014's top earner Ashton Kutcher also comes in at third alongside Mark Harmon of NCIS while Ray Romano and Jon Cryer tie at fourth, with Simon Baker and 'McDreamy' Patrick Dempsey in at fifth.
