Kutcher's contract with 'Men' only good for one season

Ashton Kutcher has said that replacing Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men" was like "winning the lottery." But if he doesn't bring the laughs, it could not pay off in the long run.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the actor's contract with the CBS sitcom is only good for one season, which begins in the fall.

But it's not just because they want to see how Kutcher performs. "Two and a Half Men" is only licensed through this upcoming ninth season.

If the show is picked up for a 10 season, Kutcher's contract could be renewed - or he could walk away.

His paycheck is reportedly an estimated $750,000 an episode, with it reaching close to $1 million when other incentives are included.
