I agree with you about Jimmy Carr. I was amazed someone like him was earning 'millions' every year in the first place.

It's not just big business that's completely out of touch with reality in terms of executive pay, so-called TV entertainers are earning ridiculous amounts that bear no relation to their level of talent and contribution to wider culture or society.

I'd regarded him as quite an unremarkable comedian, just another person who crops up on various laddy panel shows. Channel 4 (where he often appears) is ALSO supposed to have a public service remit, believe it or not. This fact is often overlooked in all the controversy over high fees paid to BBC 'personalities'
