NBC's onetime wunderkind took on the challenge of making CNN great again — and hit ratings gold. Jeff Zucker was recognized as part of 2018's Variety500 presented by VZMediaPlatform

The CNN boss honed his nose for news as the youngest executive producer in the history of NBC’s “Today,” which he guided to juggernaut status. That launched his meteoric rise at the network, culminating in him being named Peacock president and CEO in 2007. Zucker’s willingness to make game-changing tough decisions was exactly what CNN needed when he came aboard in 2013.

In the 2016 election season, the cabler saw some of its highest ratings, buoyed by an electrifying but controversial presidential race during which Zucker was something of a lightning rod. And it has stayed that way well into the Trump presidency, as the commander in chief continues to slam the network and rip it for being “fake news.” Zucker is under contract through 2020, and as of March 2019 has been promoted to Chairman of News & Sports at WarnerMedia; he will still lead CNN.

Solemn Jeff Bezos Realizes He Could End Up Like Homeless Man If Just Few Hundred Thousand Things Go WrongSEATTLE—Beginning to accept just how close to financial hardship he truly was, a solemn Jeff Bezos realized Thursday that he could end up like a homeless man living on the street if just a few hundred thousand things went wrong. “Christ, if only 100,000 to 200,000 things don’t go my way, that could be me,” said the world’s richest man, adding that a total collapse of the world economy, a severe psychotic break, and a devastating environmental catastrophe could lead to the CEO falling through society’s cracks and sleeping each night in a cardboard box. “I could suddenly lose my job, my health insurance, my mansions, my planes, become addicted to every drug, break every bone in my body, be arrested for arson, and deal with the fallout of a mass amnesia where nobody knows me, and then I’m left completely penniless with nowhere to go. It really is only by the grace of God that none of those things plus a few million others have not yet happened to me.” At press time, just to be safe, Bezos was meeting with Amazon’s board of directors to discuss further cuts to employee benefits. I'm homeless too ...just in case, he already dresses like one, wearing the same exact clothing for days at a time... just wait till he gets those overdue book fees
