And Katie Couric delivers the CBS Evening News while Howie Mandel hosts Deal or No Deal.

As sad a statement as that may be, don't feel too bad for Katie. She's pocketing $15 million a year!

Forbes revealed their highest paid primetime television personalities with Simon Cowell topping the list at $75 million! And that's just on American television! Cowell appears on both Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor in the UK.

Donald Trump follows Simon at $50 million with Ryan Seacrest taking the 3rd place spot at $35 million. Charlie Sheen and Steve Carell are in 4th and 5th place with $21 million and $20 million respectively.

But the moral of this story is that Howie Mandel makes $15 million a year!

It's inspirational! If he can do it, so can you!

Howie Mandel was rushed to the emergency room in Canada on Monday, PerezHilton.com has learned.

The Deal or No Deal host was in Toronto when he started suffering chest pains.

He was rushed to St. Micheal's hospital, where he's reportedly being treated for an irregular heartbeat.

Here's to a speedy recovery!

Update: Mandel's publicist tells us, "Howie is in the hospital being monitored for an irregular heartbeat but doctors expect him to be released and back to work tomorrow. He did not have a heart attack."
