We’ve covered the top paid TV actresses thanks to Forbes’ list, but now TV Guide has come out with a list of the highest paid TV stars of any flavor, across the main television genres. While most of the names on this list won’t come as a surprise, a few (like Crystal the Monkey) surely will.

Perhaps even more shocking than seeing Crystal the Monkey on the list (how many bananas can she buy with her $12,000 per episode, anyway?) is who isn’t on the list. For example, under late night you’ll notice two names are definitely missing … Conan O’Brien and George Lopez. They make less than $8 million a year? And what about the guys from Big Bang Theory? Is Kaley Cuoco the top-paid star on the show? Really?

Well, any way you look at it, these stars are at the top of their game and definitely aren’t hurting for money. Check out the list below and see if there are any more surprises for you on there or anyone else you think should be paid more (and be on this list).
