Hugh Laurie, Charlie Sheen, Matt Lauer, Ryan Seacrest and, naturally, Oprah Winfrey are among TV's highest-paid performers in various categories according to a newly released salary breakdown.

Though studios have been cracking down on paydays overall to keep costs in line amid sinking broadcast ratings, key performers still draw stunning numbers, with indispensable performers like the Sheens and Snookis of the world continuing to leverage salary bumps.

Here's a select sample of some of the top performers from TV Guide's survey (for the full list go here):

Drama actors (per episode):

Hugh Laurie (House) $400,000+
Christopher Meloni & Mariska Hargitay (Law & Order: SVU) $395,000 (each)

Piers Morgan (America's Got Talent) $2 million
Kate Gosselin (Kate Plus Eight) $250,000 per episode
