How does Jon Stewart's paycheck compare to that of morning hosts Kelly Ripa or Matt Lauer?
TV Guide has rolled out its annual list of television's highest-paid stars.
From television actors and reality celebrities to daytime and late-night personalities, the four-page report gives a broad look at more than 160 salaries according to numbers from television executives and industry insiders.
To make sense of all the numbers, we've ranked the highest-paid daytime, primetime, and news host salaries.
Maury Povitch's daytime infamous "You are not the father!" segments have led him to receive a paycheck higher than journalists Ann Curry, Anderson Cooper, and Diane Sawyer.
While Jay Leno and David Letterman once commanded the highest salaries on late night, Viacom is reportedly pouring even more money into "The Daily Show" host Jon Stewart.
21. Ann Curry: $5 million
After Curry was ousted from the "Today" show last summer, she was offered a position as foreign correspondent for the network that would give her $5 million a year.
20. Queen Latifah: $5-$10 million
Starting September 16, "The Queen Latifah Show" will air daily on CBS. The syndicated program comes from Will Smith's production company, Overbrook Entertainment and Sony Pictures TV.
19. Robin Roberts: $6 million
The "Good Morning America" co-host returned to the show in February after a public battle with myelodysplastic syndrome. Roberts has been a co-anchor since May 2005. She started working on the program June 1995.
