Seth Meyers roasted David Ellison and Paramount during NBCU's annual presentation to advertisers

"The "Late Night with Seth Meyers" host noted that Paramount plans to combine its streamer with HBO Max as part of its planned WBD acquisition. "Now you'll get all your favorites in one place, plus Paramount+," Meyers joked. Paramount has invested heavily in its namesake streamer, which has nearly 80 million subscribers."

Seth Meyers made jokes about Paramount Skydance and its media holdings during NBCUniversal’s annual advertiser presentation. He referenced Paramount’s relationship with CBS and the Ellison family, including Larry Ellison’s role in backing Paramount’s Warner Bros. Discovery deal. Meyers also targeted Paramount-owned CBS with remarks about political alignment and joked about “Survivor” being set in the Strait of Hormuz. He criticized the lack of a traditional upfront advertising event, linking the term to payments connected to a lawsuit settlement. Paramount paid $16 million to settle a CBS “60 Minutes” lawsuit brought by Donald Trump. Meyers also mocked plans to combine Paramount+ with HBO Max, while noting Paramount+ has nearly 80 million subscribers and is adding short-form video and shopping features.
