Good morning,

Welcome back to The Backstory, your weekend review of the best new work 
emanating from Puck.

I say this all the time, but only because it’s true: It was another 
remarkable week. Matt Belloni convened his annual high-school panel to take 
Hollywood’s temperature with Gen Z; Kim Masters checked in with Mike Ovitz 
and hunted for the remaining vulnerabilities in the Paramount–WBD deal; Eriq 
Gardner unpacked the Rebel Wilson defamation oddity and pried open the Vince 
McMahon–TKO lawsuit; Dylan Byers scooped Jeff Bezos’s pick for the next WaPo 
C.E.O.; Bill Cohan autopsied a $5 billion Thoma Bravo wipeout and revisited 
Sam Bankman-Fried’s $82 billion Anthropic what-if; John Ourand sized up MLS’s 
Don Garber succession field; and Ian Krietzberg parsed Sam Altman’s sudden 
people-first messaging pivot.

Meanwhile, Lauren Sherman scrutinized Delphine Arnault’s Dior gambit; Rachel 
Strugatz broke the news of Bobbi Brown’s department-store retreat; Malique 
Morris tallied the warning signs at post-Yeezy Adidas; Marion Maneker 
clocked Claude Lalanne’s record-rewriting $33.5 million mirror sale; and Dan 
Duray caught up with new Guggenheim director Melissa Chiu.

And then, down in D.C., Peter Hamby crunched the polling on the left’s 
political-violence blame game; Julia Ioffe trailed Gen. Christopher LaNeve’s 
charm offensive on the Hill; Leigh Ann Caldwell captured the Democratic 
donor revolt against Chuck Schumer; and Abby Livingston war-gamed a 
mid-cycle House flip.

Check out these stories, and others, via the links below. And stick around 
for the backstory on how it all came together.

Saturday Night at the Hilton



At around 9 p.m. on Saturday evening, while sitting amid the din of the 
cavernous and subterranean ballroom at the Washington Hilton, I spotted a 
phalanx of Secret Service agents running down a narrow ambulatory 
corridor—guns out, moving fast, heading right toward a raised dais where 
President Trump, the First Lady, Vice President J.D. Vance, and others were 
noshing on a first course of chilly burrata and cucumber. Within an instant, 
approximately 2,700 dinner guests fell to the floor.

There were faint cries instructing guests of the annual White House 
Correspondents’ Association dinner to hit the deck, but the truth is that 
they weren’t even warranted: Men in their tuxes and women in ballgowns 
followed one another into crouched formation, perhaps with the lone 
exception of CAA agent Michael Glantz, who has a bad back and seemed 
unperturbed as he picked away at his salad. As I glanced out from my vantage 
point, I beheld a vista of starched white tablecloths, askew chairs, and 
tablescapes of strewn wine bottles.

Tragically, duck-and-cover drills have become a ubiquitous part of American 
life—and increasingly common in our polarized and sometimes violent 
politics. In some ways, the threat experienced on Saturday night at the 
Hilton was hardly any different from what too many schoolchildren face on a 
regular basis. The only difference is that they are young kids, unprotected 
by the Secret Service in the cradle of the American federal government. 
Indeed, after a few pregnant, undeniably chilling moments in the Hilton 
ballroom, most people came to the same conclusion: We were probably in the 
safest room in all of America—a revelation that commenced an eerie Secret 
Service–chaperoned cocktail party. To be fair, everyone needed a drink.

As we got up from the floor, a fascinating specter of our modern media 
landscape took shape. Many journalists in the room, understandably shaken 
yet committed to their craft, attempted to live-tweet, live-Insta, take to 
YouTube, or find other ways to document the event, albeit with faint Hilton 
Wi-Fi. Some of the efforts were civic-minded, others admittedly ham-fisted, 
but it was nevertheless a pointed metaphor for this media era. Even members 
of legacy institutions took to their own disintermediated and personal 
channels to broadcast the biggest story in the world, which had taken place 
right in front of them and was already fast out of their control.



There’s Always Money in the Banana Stand



The WHCA weekend is one of my favorite annual rituals at Puck, and this was 
going to be a particularly poignant year. Not only is the long weekend of 
revelry and endless parties a great opportunity to connect with clients and 
friends, but my partners and I were investing in the tradition even more 
robustly.

On Saturday evening, Puck hosted the most exalted pre-dinner party at The 
Hepburn, the exceedingly chic condo abutting the Hilton, with our presenting 
sponsor, Amazon, and support from the American Property Owners Alliance. As 
someone who started his career a lifetime ago as a seat-filler at the Vanity 
Fair Oscar party, I’ve been around a swell gala or two—and the event at The 
Hepburn, I can confidently tell you, was utterly fabulous.


  <https://userimg-assets.customeriomail.com/images/client-env-107382/01KQJVPGGSVAGEMYR990NVNJJQ.jpg>


Roaming around our branded ice luge and shuffleboard table were Gov. Gavin 
Newsom, former New Orleans mayor Mitch Landrieu, CNN’s David Urban, former 
CrowdStrike C.T.O. Dmitri Alperovitch, Trump official Seval Oz, Axel 
Springer C.E.O. Mathias Döpfner, Amazon’s Doug Stone and Rachael Lighty, 
APOA’s Colin Allen, MS NOW’s Sudeep Reddy and Molly Jong-Fast, Newsmax 
C.E.O. Chris Ruddy, C-SPAN kingpin Sam Feist, Beehiiv founder Tyler Denk, 
CAA executives and lifelong friends Judee Ann Williams and Rachel Adler, the 
Times’s Cecilia Kang and Michael Grynbaum, YouTuber Brian Tyler Cohen, 
Breaker’s Lachlan Cartwright, and my partners Sarah Personette, Liz Gough, 
Stacy Eisner, Alex Bigler, Ali Hattamer, Meg Phillips, Kathy Gilsinan, Matt 
Belloni, Dylan Byers, Peter Hamby, Leigh Ann Caldwell, Marianna Sotomayor, 
Abby Livingston, Julia Ioffe, and so many more—including events masterminds 
Louise Johnson and Sarah Voss. My favorite perk of the night was Amazon’s 
banana-split dessert stand.

On Sunday afternoon, our sister brand, Air Mail, was staging the most 
fabulous send-off party at Ned’s Club, the most exclusive and beautiful 
venue in town. As I traipsed around the balcony, enjoying the views of the 
Treasury Department and Trump’s ballroom construction site, I rubbed 
shoulders with Air Mail editor-in-chief Julia Vitale; senior editor George 
Pendle; the ambassadors from the U.K., Ireland, Qatar, Oman, Serbia, and 
Jordan; Lady Victoria Hervey; D.C. mayoral candidate Kenyan McDuffie; Wonder 
Woman Lynda Carter; Kellyanne Conway; Time C.E.O. Jessica Sibley; former 
ambassador Dana Shell Smith; Ned’s eminence Emma Mears; actors Cory Michael 
Smith and Michael Chiklis; VF’s Aidan McLaughlin; and plenty of swells from 
the previous night.


  <https://userimg-assets.customeriomail.com/images/client-env-107382/01KQJVPGND619E7XQRS3AMW60Y.jpg>


Unsurprisingly, much of the conversation on Sunday focused on the scene that 
had unfolded the previous night—everyone shared their reflections, the 
oddity and dismay of it all, and the various elements of the collective 
media-political trauma bonding that had inarguably taken place. I even met 
with the woman who had been dubbed the “hot survivor” of the evening based 
on press coverage. Hours later, on the Amtrak home, I quarantined myself in 
a restroom and taped a special episode of The Powers That Be, Puck’s 
flagship podcast, with Hamby. It was a fitting tribute to a memorable and 
unpredictable weekend—and, in its own way, my contribution to the ad hoc 
assemblage of media disintermediation the prior night.

If you have time to read only one piece this weekend, I’d turn your 
attention to the story that Peter wrote the very next day, An American 
Sickness, which used the events in the Hilton ballroom as grounds for an 
exploration into our era of political violence, particularly on the left. 
Peter’s story is intellectually brave, data-driven, and filled with 
surprises. It’s also one of the best-written pieces in recent memory. If you 
have a moment this week, I’d urge you to sit down and read it in its 
entirety. It grapples with one of the great quandaries of our age, and a 
true obsession here at Puck.


  <https://userimg-assets.customeriomail.com/images/client-env-107382/01KQJVQZWPC9M0H8549KZNVQMD.jpg>


Have a great and safe weekend,
Jon

Saturday evening, while sitting amid the din of the cavernous and =

agents running down a narrow ambulatory corridor=E2=80=94guns out, =
moving fast, heading right toward a raised dais where President =
<strong>Trump</strong>, the First Lady, Vice President <strong>J.D. =
Vance</strong>, and others were noshing on a first course of chilly =
burrata and cucumber. Within an instant, approximately 2,700 dinner =
guests fell to the floor.<br/><br/>There were faint cries instructing =
guests of the annual White House
Correspondents=E2=80=99 Association dinner to hit the deck, but the =
truth is that they weren=E2=80=99t even warranted: Men in their tuxes =
and women in ballgowns followed one another into crouched formation, =
perhaps with the lone exception of CAA agent <strong>Michael =
Glantz</strong>, who has a bad back and seemed unperturbed as he picked =
away at his salad. As I glanced out from my vantage point, I beheld a =
vista of starched white tablecloths, askew chairs, and tablescapes of =
strewn wine
bottles.<br/><br/>Tragically, duck-and-cover drills have become a =
ubiquitous part of American life=E2=80=94and increasingly common in our =
polarized and sometimes violent politics. In some ways, the threat =
experienced on Saturday night at the Hilton was hardly any different =
from what too many schoolchildren face on a regular basis. The only =
difference is that they are young kids, unprotected by the Secret =
Service in the cradle of the American federal government. Indeed, after =
a few pregnant, undeniably
chilling moments in the Hilton ballroom, most people came to the same =
conclusion: We were probably in the safest room in all of =
America=E2=80=94a revelation that commenced an eerie Secret =
Service=E2=80=93chaperoned cocktail party. To be fair, everyone needed a =
drink.<br/><br/>As we got up from the floor, a fascinating specter of =
our modern media landscape took shape. Many journalists in the room, =
understandably shaken yet committed to their craft, attempted to =
live-tweet, live-Insta, take to YouTube, or find
other ways to document the event, albeit with faint Hilton Wi-Fi. Some =
of the efforts were civic-minded, others admittedly ham-fisted, but it =
was nevertheless a pointed metaphor for this media era. Even members of =
legacy institutions took to their own disintermediated and personal =
channels to broadcast the biggest story in the world, which had taken =
place right in front of them and was already fast out of their =
control.</p></div>
