Zuck Off

The NY Post says that ex-CNN boss Jeff Zucker is out of the running for any role at Paramount Global if and when the media giant’s $8 billion merger with Skydance closes — and that includes any possibility of taking the helm of the CBS network.

Zucker who helped drive both CNN and NBC into the ground was rumored to be looking to land a role at Paramount, if the deal does indeed close.

“There’s legitimately no role for Jeff,” a source with knowledge told the NY Post.

Sounds like CBS/Paramount are wise to Zucker’s past.
