Ashton Kutcher has replaced Charlie Sheen again — this time, as the highest-paid performer on TV.

Ashton, who stepped into the starring role on Two and a Half Men last year, earned $24 million from May 2011 to May 2012, according to Forbes magazine. House star Hugh Laurie and Ray Romano are behind with $18 million each. 30 Rock’s Alec Baldwin and NCIS star Mark Harmon round out the Top 5 with $15 million apiece.

The rest of the list includes Tim Allen, Jon Cryer, Patrick Dempsey, Jim Parsons, Johnny Galecki and Jason Segel.
