Here’s How Much the Cast of Your Favorite TV Shows Make From the Reruns
Ted Danson, Cheers
Seasons: 11
Final Episode Airdate: May 20, 1993
Show Residuals: Up to $5 million a year
During the 11 seasons of “Cheers” that ran for 11 years, Ted Danson had us laughing and wishing we could replace him in the cast as the former Boston Red Sox relief pitcher who later became a bar owner, Sam Malone. When he wasn’t trying to date Diane Chambers (Shelly Long) or Rebecca Howe (Kristie Alley), he was going after any woman he could find.
His role was just as hilarious as it gets. However, his bank balance must be seriously huge, as the sitcom went on to become one of the most successful shows. Besides his earnings per episode, he continues to siphon $5 million a year for reruns.
