David Ellison's newly formed Skydance Corp. completed its takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, folding HBO and other WBD assets into the company, and the fallout continued to dominate industry conversation this week. Jon Stewart's 'The Daily Show' noted that rival HBO host John Oliver avoided addressing the merger on 'Last Week Tonight' despite it directly affecting his own network, while Stewart used his Monday episode to instead tackle AI, including a bit featuring Meta's new AI mascot Muse. Meanwhile the corporate reshuffling accelerated behind the scenes: Skydance is reorganizing its international division, with executive Kevin MacLellan passed over for the top overseas role despite earlier reports he was close to securing it. Separately, Casey Bloys signed a new multiyear deal to keep overseeing both HBO Max and Paramount+ after being named co-chair and chief content officer of Skydance's direct-to-consumer business, signaling executive stability even as the company reshapes its global structure.
