NBCU-Sheridan Executive Guessing Game: Writer Wins $60K on ‘The Floor’

Welcome to the second installment of my new Friday column, where I’ll give you the scoop on the big stories of the week in the streaming entertainment world. Today, we’ve got some interesting updates on Taylor Sheridan’s move to NBCUniversal, including speculation about who will be working with him on his upcoming projects.

It looks like former Paramount co-CEO Chris McCarthy is in talks to team up with Sheridan at NBCU. McCarthy, known for his marketing prowess, helped turn Sheridan into a household name with a slew of successful shows on Paramount+ and CBS. While this news is exciting, it still leaves us wondering who will ultimately be managing Sheridan’s new deal at NBCUniversal.

In other news, I recently had the pleasure of interviewing TV writer Jonathan Braylock, who made a splash as a contestant on Fox’s game show, The Floor. It’s always fun to see familiar faces from the industry in unexpected places!

Lastly, we want to take a moment to remember Robert Pietranton, a beloved figure in the TV industry who passed away too soon. Our thoughts are with his friends and family during this difficult time.

That’s all for today’s roundup of streaming entertainment news. Be sure to stay tuned for more updates and insider info in the coming weeks.
