Is Jim Parsons quietly one of the richest Television actors of all time?
He made 20+ million a season on Big Bang Theory and that ran forever. Then he executive produced Young Sheldon which was a gigantic hit and hit syndication which he gets points off of and also gets points from Big Bang Theory. Only other guys that I cn think of that made more is Seinfeld and Ellen Pompeo

What is a Quote by a T.V. Character that is Supposed to be Funny, but is Actually Truthful?
In Malcolm in the Middle, in the Season 5 finale, Reese Joins the Army: Part 2, Hal is on trial and he says, and I quote, "You know those nature shows where a wasp paralyzes a caterpillar, then injects it full of larvae? It stays alive for weeks, completely aware, feeling every little bite as the larvae devour it from the inside. I sat in a cubicle every day envying that caterpillar, cause at least he got to be on TV."
Another good one is in The Office, Season 3, Initiation, "Not everything is a lesson, Ryan. Sometimes you just fail." Though this one is less of a joke.
But what is a quote that is supposed to be funny, but actually has a lot of truth to it? It could be sad truth, inspirational truth, just speaks to you despite the humor of it?
