Don't get me wrong because I don't begrudge the kid for getting paid, but does he really earn it. He is hardly ever used, he's no longer the cute precocious kid. He has a few lines and *bang* he disappears.

He's been underutilized this year, but not overall.

I kinda agree, he is not being utilized like he once was, but earlier when he was younger, he really didn't have to do much anyway...

i dunno - he carries his fair share of the laughs on the show, and his lines and timing (even when he doesn't say ANYTHING) are always perfect.

the show is super successful; compare what he makes to how much Charlie Sheen was getting and it seems fair.

...keep in mind most child actors don't have very successful adult acting careers - this might be it for him, so it might have to last.

I don't watch the show,but didn't he also get a half million dollar signing bonus. All the people in Hollywood are waaaay over-paid.Heck years ago alot of movies,and good ones too were made for less money than these people make for just one episode of these tv shows.It's really rediculous,and it must also contribute to the obcene amount of commercials on television.
