Chris Licht's exit as CEO of CNN gives Warner Bros. Jeff Zucker, whose title was president, led CNN successfully — if not without controversy — for nine years. The CEO title didn't empower Licht, who was seen as executing Zaslav's vision, not his own. Without a CEO title. If Zaslav anoints a Licht replacement without the CEO title, even if the functions of the job don't change much, media observers will see it as a less lofty role.

Not everyone can wake up to good news on Tony nominations morning. Then again, with a panel of voters often un-wowed by celebrity, the roster typically turns up left-field choices and anoints young talent. But the Tony committee gave the show’s team something to laugh about, lavishing six nominations, including two for Cooper himself: best play and best featured actor in a play.
