Highest Paid Actress Sofia Vergara Lands Guest Spots On 'Family Guy' And 'The Cleveland Show'

Posted byBy Stan Castle | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Sofia Vergara just keep piling on the money as she just booked two more TV roles. The Colombian born actress has landed two guest spots on Family Guy And The Cleveland Show.

According to the press release, Vergara will play Peter Griffin’s “fantasy love interest” and she’ll also play a role as a sales woman selling roses in a restaurant.

On The Cleveland Show, the actress has landed the part as “Tia Sofia,” a character who tries to convince Cleveland to host a quinceañera for his son’s 15th birthday celebration.

This upcoming season of Family Guy premieres Sept. 30 on Fox, and it will also host many guest appearances from known actors and actresses including Johnny Depp, Ryan Reynolds, Elizabeth Banks and others.

The Cleveland Show, on the other hand, blasts off its fourth season on October 7.

Vergara was recently crown highest paid actress on TV after making $19 million last year, taking that title from Kim Kardashian. Vergara saw money coming in from multiple income streams which include her hit TV series Modern Family, a Kmart clothing line, and endorsement deals from Cover Girl, Pepsi, Burger King, Comcast and State Farm. The actress is also on the path to make a large sum of money this year. Besides these two new roles and endorsements, she is currently going through a battle with the producers of Modern Family for a pay increase, which will pay her a few extra million dollars a season if she wins. That will sure help her keep her crown as TV highest paid actress.

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
