Forbes published the list for the highest-paid TV Actresses of 2012, and guess who tops that chart? Sofia Vergara!! I would have NEVER guessed that!!!

Here’s the list:

1. Sofia Vergara – $19 million

2. Kim Kardashian – $18 million

3. Eva Longoria – $15 million

4. Bethenny Frankel – $12 million

5. Khloe Kardashian Odom – (they didn’t publish a number, but I’m guessing it’s somewhere between $11-12 million

6. Tina Fey – $11 million

7. Mariska Hargitay – $10 million

8. Zooey Deschannel – $9 million

9. Felicity Huffman – $9 million

10. Ellen Pompeo – $9 million

Not bad ladies! I don’t love that there are two K’s on the list, but it is what it is. Oh, and technically, they’re not REALLY TV actresses…well, who am I kidding? 

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Someone find me an agent!! I have more talent than any of the Kardashians, despite the fact that I have a sad, pathetic figure.

    i’m assuming that these numbers are not just their show salaries, but endorsements, too. sofia v. has quite a few of those.

    shameful admittence: i actually love khloe kardashian a bit. she’s always telling everyone else they’re idiots and should shut up.

    Yes compared to the rest of the family, Khloe is a beacon of normalcy. I know many people who distance themselves from their messed up family, why doesn’t Khloe?

    i was kind of hoping that moving to dallas, she would (khloe). ithink she and lamar are a good match, and seem to be really into each other (versus just doing it for a show).
    i admit i watch more of the kardashians than i ever should, but there was an episode where one of the younger jenner girls asked khloe about her first time, and she just seemed really honest about how she wished she would have waited, and she felt pushed into it. and then the younger girl said she’d like to talk to kim, too, and khloe just snorted and said kim would never be honest about such a thing. that’s when i really started to like her.

    Zooey gets 9M a year for that turd of a show as I don’t see her dabbling in other promotions. Robbery…

    Apparently the word ‘actress’ doesn’t mean what I thought it meant.

    It must really chap Kourtney’s ass that she didn’t make the list. She keeps popping out babies but hasn’t been upgraded to more than sidekick. *sad horns*

    It is a CRIME that Felicity Huffman is 9th on this list. Huffman’s got more talent in her pinky nail than everybody above her combined (excluding Fey and Hargitay).

    And half of these people aren’t even actors…

    Even $12 million–and directly ripping off the format of Ellen’s show–isn’t going to save Bethenny’s talk show.

    @nwmtv,

    “Even $12 million–and directly ripping off the format of Ellen’s show–isn’t going to save Bethenny’s talk show.”

    You’re right.

    I think that Bethenny’s mouth will sink her Talk show. She cannot help herself; she thinks she is terribly funny when she is snarky to someone. I am not sure if folks want to go to a talk show and be snarked on…
