That wouldn't surprise me for a show that earns as much money as The Simpsons has done. Still $8m/season is chump change in comparison to what the emcees and judges get paid for "reality" shows like American Idol and Dancing with The Stars:

Quote:
Simon Cowell, the snarky American Idol judge, reportedly raked in $36 million [in 2009-2010]. After salary negotiations it’s rumored that he might be somewhere around $45 million [in 2010-2011]. Paula Abdul was making $4 million per year but left after they refused to double her salary. But host Ryan Seacrest has them both beat. ABC News reported that Seacrest signed a $45 million, 3-year contract, making him the highest paid reality TV star.
I'd could see the five major VAs (Castellanata, Kavner, Smith, Cartwright and Shearer) earning $millions, but probably not anyone else.
