The disparity between real life wages and those earned on TV keeps getting bigger. Some examples: Ellen Pompeo, who plays a doctor on TV's Grey's Anatomy, earned $5 million last year, while an actual Virginia-based medical resident took in just $45,000. Similarly, chef Rachael Ray made $6 million in 2006, while a personal chef from Albuquerque, N.M., earned $67,000. And a "paper-pushing" office manager from Naples, Fla., brought home $29,000, while Steve Carell, who plays insufferable paper company office manger Michael Scott on The Office, earned $9 million.
