- David Zaslav posted a farewell video memo to Warner Bros. Discovery's internal portal on Monday, telling staff 'It's been a great honor to be alongside all of you' as his CEO tenure winds down
- Zaslav filmed the message seated in a director's chair, addressing employees directly to camera rather than issuing a written statement
- The Skydance merger closing is the trigger — Variety's coverage frames the farewell as landing on the 'eve' of the deal's close, matching the source's 'for a few more hours' timing on Zaslav's role
Why it matters: Zaslav's on-camera goodbye confirms his exit is now hours away, tied to the Skydance merger close. The video format — rather than a written memo — signals he wanted a personal sign-off with employees as WBD's ownership changes hands.
