Welcome back to What I’m Hearing+, your Tuesday supplement of entertainment industry enlightenment mixed with legal insights. Congrats to off-Broadway’s newest producer, Shari Redstone, whose venture, a play called Job, should in no way be confused with the vanity, money-pit theater-producing efforts of Logan Roy’s son Connor on Succession, even if Shari’s play is set in the world of tech/media… and stars a Succession actor… and, okay I’ll stop. Eriq Gardner is back to take over this space, and he’s got a preview of the litigation involving the Paramount sale to Skydance, as well as some potentially bad news for Warner Discovery.

Tuesday Thoughts
  • Sun Valley elegy for Zaslav: Warner Bros. Discovery C.E.O. David Zaslav likely won’t be toasting J.D. Vance as Trump’s running mate. Days after Zaz said at Sun Valley that he preferred only that the 2024 winner was friendly to “deregulation, so companies can consolidate,” he now faces a Republican ticket that is potentially...

ERIQ GARDNER ERIQ GARDNER
David Ellison is one step closer to taking full control of Paramount Global, but the legal drama has only begun. There will be shareholder lawsuits, of course, including at least one that is already threatening to spill intimate details from inside the Paramount boardroom. And then there is the legal action brought last week by Mario Gabelli, Paramount’s largest voting shareholder outside of the Redstone family, who is seeking access to the company’s books and records—“Operation Fishbowl,” he’s calling it—to interrogate whether...

Iger’s Four Horsemen of the Succession Apocalypse
Now that Disney, under the watchful eye of Nelson Peltz, appears to have settled on a quartet of internal (yet by no means ideal) candidates, can it manage a complex process that allows for one winner without creating three sore losers?
