Congrats to Jeff Zucker, who managed to attend the Super Bowl with his son last weekend in L.A. and go largely unnoticed by the media tracking his every move these days. A few people have asked if I think the former CNN president might sue to clear his name after WarnerMedia C.E.O. Jason Kilar announced Wednesday (without factual details, of course) that Zucker—along with his partner and ousted marketing chief Allison Gollust, and fired anchor Chris Cuomo—violated “company policies, including CNN’s News Standards and Practices.” 

Those are fighting words, given that Zucker had become a martyr to his CNN staff after exiting over what was supposedly just an employee romance that everyone seemed to know (and not care) about. Zucker has been represented in the CNN split by the tenacious L.A. litigators Patty Glaser and Kerry Garvis Wright at the Glaser Weil law firm, as well as his usual deal lawyer Craig Jacobson. (Glaser, ironically, repped Conan O’Brien in his NBC exit after Zucker put in motion the infamous Leno-O’Brien Tonight Show succession plan when running NBC Universal.) And while Team Zucker isn’t talking, I doubt he will poke the WarnerMedia bear, given his desire to move on and find a new gig. He’s especially eager for potential opportunities in the sports world, I’m told.
