It appears Ashton Kutcher
will soon have two new roles…one on Two and a Half Men.

The other? TV’s
highest-paid sitcom star.

How high are we talkin’?

Only about $700,000 per
episode.  That’s according to a new
TV Guide report.

Sure, it’s not the 1.2
million Charlie Sheen was raking in for the half-hour comedy but it’s
significantly more than that of other TV talent.

For example, Ted Danson, CSI’s
new series regular
will be taking $225,000 to the bank every episode, along with Keifer Sutherland
on the new FOX drama Touch. 

CBS Entertainment President
Nina Tassler thinks Kutcher is totally worth it though and at a recent
Television Critics Association panel said “there is great value in hiring an
actor like Ashton Kutcher.”

Great value as in $700,000
an ep?

Guess we’ll know soon
enough!
