Jim Parsons is taking the heat for ending “The Big Bang Theory” — with multiple sources reporting that the actor turned down two more seasons of doing the show. That’s despite Johnny Galecki and Kaley Cuoco reportedly agreeing to sign on despite the cast’s constant squabbling. Now the backstage drama is really set to boil over, since insiders claim that Jim’s already had his fellow cast members furious over his second “Big Bang” paycheck! “Parsons isn’t taking a pay cut by ending the show with Season 12,” complained a show insider. “He still has a regular gig doing a voiceover for ‘Young Sheldon,’ and the deal also makes him an executive producer on a hit show!”

As earlier reported by The ENQUIRER, the "Sheldon" spin-off has made Parsons the highest-paid star on television — despite an original deal that Jim, Johnny and Kaley all made the same salary.
“It’s no secret Kaley thinks of herself as the show’s big draw,” spilled one source, who added that Johnny was reportedly “silently simmering” over Jim’s second paycheck.

Network honchos had originally tried to keep Johnny happy by adding the sitcom “Living Biblically” to the CBS schedule — which was made by the actor's production company. But the ratings fizzled, and CBS canceled the show in May 2018. By then, however, the network had also agreed to let Johnny appear in
