JEFF ZUCKER
Aerin Lauder, Estée Lauder’s granddaughter and senior vice president of the current-day company, plans to break away in favor of beginning her own fashion and lifestyle brand. She has stated her hopes to be “the next Tory Burch”, and she has already begun to recruit a superstar team to assist her.
Anna Wintour will be her advisor and NBC’s Jeff Zucker will be her assistant. She’s also recruited Ebs Burnough, the now-former White House deputy social secretary. He told his colleagues via email Friday that it would be his “last day at the White House.”
The last week has seen the continuation of the controversy surrounding the future of "The Tonight Show."
So what's actually changed? Not that much. Conan O'Brien will still be leaving "The Tonight Show," but presumably substantially richer after settlement talks are over. Meanwhile, NBC honcho Jeff Zucker has admitted that he made a "mistake," but quickly backtracked. After being seared by Jimmy Kimmel on his own show, Leno finally spoke up for himself, saying that he knew better than NBC and that the network was treating them both unfairly. While this likely did not change many minds among Team Conan or the I'm With Coco crowd, who came out in droves Monday at rallies across the country, it did serve to highlight the business aspect of the whole shebang.
