Ashton Kutcher has replaced Charlie Sheen as the highest-paid actor on television, bringing in $700,000 per episode of "Two and a Half Men," reports TV Guide Magazine.
In its annual "Who Earns What" issue, the magazine says that Kutcher's salary -- which equates to $16.8 million for a standard 24-episode order -- is actually $500,000 less per episode than what Sheen made last season.
Ted Danson will receive $225,000 for each episode of "CSI," which is $125,000 less than what Laurence Fishburne made.
Both Scott Pelley and Piers Morgan receive less than a third of what their predecessors Katie Couric and Larry King made, and Regis Philbin left rather than accept a cut from his $15 million annual salary.
Anderson Cooper will make around $11 million this year combined with his CNN salary and his syndication haul.
