IN THE NEWS

Bob Bakish, CEO of Paramount Global, is expected to step down as early as today. The company is in exclusive acquisition talks with Skydance Media, a merger Bakish has opposed, according to CNBC. Should those talks fail, the company is still expected to change hands, with Sony Pictures and Apollo Global Management ready to swoop in with an offer next week. Bakish, who has served as CEO since 2016 and worked at Paramount/Viacom since 1997, has reportedly lost the support of the company’s controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, as Paramount Global shares the industry-wide struggle with its streaming business and seen its stock sink.

“Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner in Washington April 27 to mainly positive reviews. Jost, known for hosting SNL’s “Weekend Update” fake news segment, offered a stream of jokes about President Joe Biden’s age, opponent Donald Trump’s sleepiness and media bias on the left and right, but ended on a positive note. Jost closed with an anecdote about his 95-year-old grandfather, a veteran Staten Island fireman who voted for Democrat in the 2020 election in a heavily Republican town. “He voted for decency and decency is why we’re all here tonight,” Jost said.

G/O Media sold satirical newspaper and website The Onion to Global Tetrahedron, a group led by former Twilio co-founder and CEO Jeff Lawson and ex-NBC News reporter Ben Collins, for an undisclosed sum.

CNN anchor Poppy Harlow has left the network, two years after she was picked to co-anchor a morning show that former chief Chris Licht had hoped would compete with NBC’s “Today” and Fox News Channel’s “Fox and Friends,” but instead cratered in the ratings. According to reports, in a memo to her CNN colleagues, Harlow said the network “has been wonderful and have given me the space to make this decision.” The decision to leave was Harlow’s, as CNN had reportedly been working on creating a new role for the veteran journalist.

CBS has canceled “NCIS” spinoff “NCIS: Hawai’i” after three seasons.
