Al Roker – $8 Million
Can you believe that Al Roker was working as a professional meteorologist before even graduating college? In 1983, Roker had his big break, becoming a regular substitute on NBC News at Sunrise. Over the years he filled in for various anchors on the Today Show, and was promoted to a full-time weekday weather position in 1996 after Willard Scott retired.
Billy Bush – $3 Million
Billy Bush is related to former U.S. Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. His first journalism gig was as a correspondent at Access Hollywood, with a later promotion to primary anchor. In 2016, Bush left Access Hollywood and moved to Today as a co-host. But, just a few months later, an offensive recording of presidential candidate Donald Trump and Billy was discovered, the network later firing him.
