'They can't go on like this,' Bank of America analyst Jessica Reif Ehrlich said, referring to the lagging stock and string of missteps by Warner Bros. Discovery boss David Zaslav.
David Zaslav didn't expect it to be this difficult. Two and a half years ago, the veteran TV executive brimmed with confidence and pride that a guy from Brooklyn, who elbowed his way into entertainment through the not-so glamorous job negotiating cable distribution deals, was being handed the keys to 'the best brands in entertainment.' But since the April 2022 merger that created Warner Bros. Discovery, its marquee brands — HBO, CNN, TNT, Food Network and the Warner Bros.
He's not concerned with stature,' Spielberg said in a glowing 2021 Vanity Fair profile, 'All That Zaz.' Zaslav, 64, has long been among America's highest paid executives. He relished the role of movie mogul, purchasing the Beverly Hills mansion of late 'Chinatown' producer Robert Evans and moving into founder Jack Warner's gilded Art Deco office on the Warner Bros. lot.
