The NEW Paramount: Will South Park CONTINUE to Roast Trump? Is Jon Stewart Safe? Who Runs CBS News?
On Thursday, Oliver had a front-row seat as David Ellison and his team of executives fielded questions during Skydance’s official takeover of Paramount. He takes us inside the room and breaks down the answers to key questions about how South Park will be handled, Jon Stewart’s contract status, the future of 60 Minutes, and who might end up running CBS News. He also shares a few intriguing tidbits from one-on-one conversations after the press conference that offer deeper insight into how the new leadership plans to approach Paramount’s biggest personalities and properties.
Plus: Sean Hannity has officially entered the MAGA Civil War, lashing out at former Trump loyalists who are now turning on him. His rant sounds an awful lot like a shot at the Rogans, Schulzes, and Joe Kernens of the world—and it’s clear he’s had enough.
Have a great weekend—we’ll catch you next week.
