Good morning,

Welcome back to The Backstory, your weekend review of the most scintillating 
new work at Puck.

It was another remarkable week: Matt Belloni diagnosed Hollywood’s A.I. 
détente; Kim Masters chronicled the Saudi tax rebate mirage; Eriq Gardner 
sized up the antitrust arms race around the Paramount–Warner Bros. deal; 
Dylan Byers plumbed the existential crisis at The Daily Wire and broke down 
Bari Weiss’s latest personnel surprise; Ian unpacked Mallory McMorrow’s A.I. 
platform; John Ourand refereed the Sankey–Petitti playoff feud; Bill Cohan 
profiled the hedge funder who predicted the SaaSpocalypse; Lauren Sherman 
got into the Everlane unwind with founder Michael Preysman; Rachel Strugatz 
dug up what really sank the Estée Lauder–Puig megadeal; Malique Morris 
interrogated Jerry Lorenzo’s higher calling; and Marion Maneker surveyed 
Sotheby’s middle-market resurgence, while Glenn Adamson spotlighted the 
rubber sculptures of Patrick Bongoy.

Meanwhile, down in D.C., Julia Ioffe war-gamed the never-ending Iran 
ceasefire; Leigh Ann Caldwell peeped the G.O.P.’s congressional 
mini-rebellion; Peter Hamby scrutinized Xavier Becerra’s underwhelming 
California coronation; and Abby Livingston gauged James Talarico’s Texas 
longshot after John Cornyn’s runoff rout.

60 Minutes of Separation



On Thursday, just after noon, I was sitting in the podcast studio in Puck’s 
airy lower Tribeca headquarters. We’ve recently begun pivoting our flagship 
audio show, The Powers That Be, to YouTube. So Peter Hamby, my longtime 
partner and the show’s inimitable host, was tucking into his home studio 
while I was setting up my shot in the office. Gaby Grossman, Puck’s 
delightfully merciless director of editorial operations, was sitting across 
from me, politely bossing me around as usual with her patented Beverly Hills 
militarism—reminding me where to look, how to adjust my lighting, when to 
wrap it up, etcetera.

After all, Peter and I have been climbing the greasy pole from middle-aged 
media veterans to aspiring vlog stars. In fact, the previous week’s episode 
was retweeted by controversial L.A. mayoral candidate and former reality 
star dimwit Spencer Pratt, who juxtaposed my narrative overlay on the city’s 
homeless crisis with a colorful video of a man defecating on the sidewalk. 
Growing pains, I suppose.

As we entered the second segment, I noticed an unusual flurry of text 
messages, Slacks, emails, and phone calls, all descending at once. And, 
perhaps most notably, they arrived from partners, former colleagues, 
friends, and family members, including my wife, Rebecca. Indeed, as I stole 
a look at my phone during the commercial break, I realized that this 
emerging piece of news hit the center of a complex Venn diagram merging my 
personal and professional lives: my longtime buddy and former collaborator 
Nick Bilton had just been named the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

I’ve known Nick for about the last 15 years. We were colleagues at the 
Times, where I helped turn his reporting on Twitter into a memorable cover 
story, back when that used to be a thing. (All Is Fair in Love and Twitter 
was an inflection point in my journey as a headline writer…) Years later, he 
was the signature hire at The Hive, a business I built for Vanity Fair and 
Condé Nast. We weren’t just colleagues, though. We were legit friends: I 
knew his wife and kids and could credibly and affectionately make fun of his 
middle-aged pastimes, like breadmaking. When I began building Puck, five 
years ago, my partners and I hoped to lure him here. By that point, though, 
he’d started a new career as a screenwriter. Admittedly, we’d been distant 
in the intervening years as life and busy careers had taken hold.

In many ways, Nick’s hire was reflective of a number of truths at both Puck 
and his new mothership: Bari Weiss’s CBS News, a source of deep interest 
inside David Ellison and Gerry Cardinale’s Paramount Skydance… which is 
about to become PSKY-WBD after it presumably closes its $110 billion deal 
for David Zaslav’s company. At Puck, we use our proximity to power and 
influence to create a patented product that combines all the best elements 
of traditional journalism, equity research, and real networking. Within 
minutes after the news hit the transom, my partner Dylan Byers already 
planned to report on the aftershocks of Nick’s hiring in In the Room, his 
industry-leading private email. Nick and Dylan have known each other for 
years, too, of course. (Meanwhile, Cardinale’s RedBird is a small minority 
investor in Puck through a transaction, and Zaz is a de minimis investor via 
the same deal. We’re adults, and we can keep it all straight.)

Meanwhile, Nick’s emergence at 60 represented the latest untraditional hire 
in Ellison’s brief ownership. It’s the most recent sign that the family and 
RedBird are dead set about taking a fully disruptive approach to the 
business. In Big Nick Energy, Dylan’s excellent piece, Bilton was 
circumspect about his new gig. “You can’t necessarily have an insider change 
an institution from the inside, because they don’t know how to look at it 
from a different perspective,” he told Dylan. “Sometimes you need an 
outsider.”

There’s validity in that perspective, and yet his growth curve will also be 
estimable. Creating television is a skill, even as the medium must be 
extended towards other platforms. Indeed, much of the haranguing over Nick’s 
hiring came from from green rooms and talent agency offices, and other pit 
stops on a gravy train that no longer runs on time. But in a world where 
OpenAI pays a couple hundred million bucks for TBPN, you can be sure that 
the next generation of TV executives won’t look like the last ones. Good or 
bad, that’s one of the great stories of our time, and something you can 
always expect to learn about at Puck. “There was no part of me that wanted 
to come back to journalism,” he confided to Dylan. “But when Bari approached 
me about it, I couldn’t get it out of my head.”





Have a great weekend,
Jon
