Unlike most jobs, most people's salaries aren't public knowledge. Sure you can guess what the guy down the street makes, or what your accountant takes home each year. Heck If I even got paid for this, you probably wouldn't know what I make.

TV hosts, however, live in the public domain. And so what they make is pretty widely known. Business Insider now presents "The Insanely Large Paychecks Of 19 TV Personalities"
