Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has his commencement address as Boston University interrupted by a chant supporting the WGA strike.
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav was jeered at a recent event. He is one of many prominent figures involved in the current Writers Guild of America strike. The strike, which is impacting series and films across the industry, came about because negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached a standstill on issues involving proper writer compensation and the use of artificial intelligence.
Today, Zaslav gave a commencement address at the graduation ceremony for Boston University in a video that has been circulating the Internet, posted by many striking writers including Late Night with Seth Myers' Mike Scollins. How David Zaslav Became a Lightning Rod of Controversy Before last year, Zaslav was hardly a household name. Before his current position, he was an executive and board member with various companies including NBCUniversal and Sirius XM. However, it wasn't until he spearheaded the Warner Bros. Discovery merger and became CEO of the new company that he became more widely known, largely due to his controversial decision-making.
