Those of you who don’t know who Andy Samberg is should probably go to their rooms and think about what they did, but we don’t believe in that form of education so here’s some info. Andy Samberg was invested in comedy from a very young age. He recalls watching Saturday Night Live as a kid and being deeply influenced by it. Years later, Samberg joined the show as a writer and as an actor.
Samberg has studied filmmaking and been involved in numerous movies and TV shows, most notably, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Among his many accolades there are an Emmy and a Golden Globe, but we believe that a $16 million net worth is enough of an accolade as it is.

Take a minute to look at that crazy hair. Good. Now, let us tell you a little bit about Reggie Watts. Most people might know Reggie as the leader of the house band from the Late Late Show with James Corden (also on our list. Shocking.) but there is a lot more to him. The man is an incredibly talented musician, and he incorporates live musical improvisation in his comedy shows.
Watts describes himself as a "disniformationist" since his humor often disorients his viewers. Seriously, take a few minutes to watch a YouTube clip of one of his shows. The appropriate response is usually "What did I just watch? Why did it make me laugh? I'm so confused..." His unique sense of humor, as well as his musical talent, are what earned him a net worth of $2 million.

There was a mishap during the Miss Universe Pageant, but who cares? Steve is still a guy who is loved by many. He is probably most famous for starring on The Steve Harvey Show, which aired an incredible 122 episodes during the mid-’90s to the early 2000s.
You can also catch him as the host on the famous game show, Family Feud. He’s also an author of three bestselling books, his own clothing line, and has won multiple awards for acting.

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, who also has a spot on this list, are often mistaken for one another. It could have something to do with the fact that they're both named Jimmy, or that they are both comedians, or that they both have successful talk shows, or that they are basically the same person traveling back and forth from a parallel universes and messing with our brains. The two actually have a skit about the issue, which leaves you with more questions than you've had in the first place.
Other than the talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel's successful career includes radio hosting, TV writing, wiring a children's book, and, of course, a handsome net worth of $35 million.

Stephen Colbert, from Washington D.C, is also a writer, actor, author, and talk show host. Early on in his career, he began at the ImprovOlympic’s Annoyance Theater where he performed long-form improvisation. From there he moved on to Second City where he made a lot of connections which ultimately let him to his first television gig.
This gig aired on Comedy Central and was called Exit 57. Since then he has made appearances on several television shows and films. A few are Stranger with Candy, The Dana Carvey Show, and The Daily Show. We’re also sure that he’s very proud of the three Emmy Awards he won as a writer. In Early 2014 Stephen was chosen to take David Letterman’s place on The Late Show. All of his accomplishments have his net worth sitting at $60 million.
