Jimmy Kimmel – $15 Million
To say that ABC has put their trust in the American comedian Jimmy Kimmel is an understatement. In 2022, he joined a very exclusive club of talk show hosts when he completed his 3,400th “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” appearance. While his talk show hasn’t always topped the ratings, it’s been steadily on the air since 2003.
As a man who’s indeed found his place in American TV, Kimmel is lucky to get paid an impressive $15-million per year. His contagious smile and laidback brand of humor continue to seduce viewers after roughly two decades.
