IN THE NEWS

Country music star Jason Aldean appeared on NBC’s Saturday Night Live in a surprise cold open that paid tribute to the victims of the Las Vegas shooting, and the late rock star Tom Petty. Less than a week after performing at the outdoor concert where the mass murders occurred, Aldean took to the SNL stage to say, “You can be sure that we’re going to walk through these tough times together, every step of the way. Because when America is at its best, our bond and our spirit is unbreakable.” Aldean then launched into a rendition “I Won’t Back Down” by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Petty died October 2 at age 66.

American Horror Story: Cult creator Ryan Murphy explained at the New Yorker Festival why Tuesday’s episode of the FX drama, which includes a mass shooting, would be recut in the wake of tragedy in Las Vegas. “I believe we have the right to air it,” said Murphy, “but I also believe in victim’s rights.”

Also heard at the New Yorker Festival: Jon Hamm said that in some ways, working on Mad Men wasn’t much of stretch. “I was a fan of commercials as a kid,” Hamm shared. “I watched a lot of TV. I could do jingles and I could do slogans.”…Jerry Seinfeld said he was “disappointed” to hear that Jerry Lewis, who died in August at 91, had left his children out of his will, but noted, “If you knew everything about everyone, you wouldn’t like anyone.”

Odd Mom Out is really out now – Bravo is not renewing the comedy, created by and starring Jill Kargman, for a fourth season. “Alas, all good things must come to an end, including this wacky gang ruining takes with peals of laughter,” said Kargman on Instagram. Season 3, which wrapped September 13, averaged 517,000 viewers and a .19 rating among A18-49.

PBS topped the winners list at the 38^th annual News & Documentary Emmy Awards with 12 awards, followed by 9 for CBS. Other multiple winners included HBO and ABC with 5 Emmys each, CNN and Univision with 3 and Discovery and MSNBC with 2. The 2017 International Emmy for News went to UK’s Inside Aleppo - Battle for Aleppo, while the award for Current Affairs was presented to UK’s Exposure: Saudi Arabia Uncovered. “I can’t think of a time in our recent history when the need for clear and factual reporting was more paramount,” said NATAS President & CEO Bob Mauro.

Bob Weinstein and COO David Glasser will run Weinstein Co. in the wake of Harvey Weinstein’s being placed on “indefinite leave.” The move came after a blistering New York Times article last week reporting on decades of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior on the part of Harvey Weinstein. “Next steps will depend on Harvey’s therapeutic progress, the outcome of the Board’s independent investigation, and Harvey’s own personal decisions,” read a statement from the company’s board. TV projects at Weinstein include MTV’s Scream and Paramount Network’s upcoming Yellowstone.

Tara Palmeri has joined ABC News as White House Correspondent. Palmeri had been breaking stories about the Trump administration for Politico.

Although the deadline for Sinclair to reveal its “specific plans” for complying with ownership limits in its pending merger with Tribune Media was October 5, Sinclair said in a filing it would be premature to identify which stations it would spin off. The company is waiting to hear from the Department of Justice, also reviewing the deal, in the hopes the FCC will relax rules prohibiting a reach of 39% of households. The proposed merger would extend that reach to 45.5%.

Music Choice inked a distribution agreement with San Francisco based EMPIRE, the independent distribution company and record label for urban music, for the rights to distribute its entire catalog of 8,000 music videos in the US and International markets. The independent distributor brings access to recent music videos from Fat Joe, D.R.A.M., Anderson .Paak, Tyga, XXXTENTACION, Snoop Dogg, and T.I., among others.

NBC’s 12^th annual Writers on the Verge program, for aspiring writers of diverse backgrounds, named comedy writers Nick Bouier, Octavia Bray, Eugene Garcia-Cross and Felicia Pride, as well as drama writers Celena Cipriaso, William Garroutte, Amy Lambert and Eileen Shim as its 2017-18 class. Those names might not ring a bell now, but graduates of past years are now on staff at Trial & Error, Damnation and The Mayor.

Deadline is this month!

COMIC-CON

Making the scene at NY Comic-Con: The final season of HBO’s Game of Thrones doesn’t have a premiere date yet, but the first table read was Sunday, shared cast member Liam Cunnignham….Doctor Who’s Peter Capaldi, leaving the show after 4 years, said of the end of his run, “I don’t know where the time went, time ran away with me.” Capaldi had no concerns about the casting of Jodie Whitaker in the role, praising, “She is great, it’s in really good hands.”…AMC’s monster hits The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead will collide in a crossover next year, though details were scant. “There is one character that is going to go from one show that I will not name, to another show that I will not name,” comics creator Robert Kirkman teased the Comic-Con crowd.

The final 6 episodes of season 1 of superhero series The Tick will launch February 23, announced Amazon. Creator Ben Edlund promised “some really weird stuff.”…Freeform announced an additional 10-episode pickup of Shadowhunters to air next summer….USA’s Psych: The Movie, reviving the long-running comedy, now has a debut date of December 7 at 8p.

Syfy’s Happy! and The Magicians had back-to-back panels. Happy!’s first episode got a screening (arrival date: Wednesday, December 6 at 10p), followed by a panel discussion about the gritty, subversive holiday story. After a sneak peek at season 3 of The Magicians (back in January), cast, creators and producers got personal about life on the set with a game of “Never Have I Ever.”…Amazon premiered a teaser trailer for spy thriller Jack Ryan, the first TV series to feature author Tom Clancy’s CIA analyst. John Krasinski (The Office), who takes on the role played on the big screen by Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford, Ben Affleck and Chris Pine, said of his prep visits to CIA headquarters, “They were completely open and honest.” Check out the trailer here: http://www.cynopsis.com.

During the panel for CBS All Access streamer Star Trek: Discovery, exec producer Aaron Harberts noted the importance of gender representation. “It’s not just in front of the camera but behind the camera that you have to make changes,” said Harberts….”They get kissin’ close,” promised The X-Files creator Chris Carter of Dana Scully and Fox Mulder during season 11 of the revived Fox drama. As for any unproduced X-Files scripts of Carter’s that could surface, “There’s the one you wrote about that bankrupt real estate guy becoming president,” joked series star David Duchovny.

Banijay Rights has added Survivor and The Crystal Maze to its formats calatogue. The shows will travel to MIPCOM along with Street Food Battle and Celebrity School.

ADVERTISING & BRANDS

Many brands aren’t growing, and the problem comes from the top of the marketing chain, suggested Association of National Advertisers CEO Bob Liodice at the ANA’s Masters of Marketing conference in Orlando last week. “There has been substantial technological progress. But is that progress getting us anywhere?” asked Liodice. “The answer is a decided no.” The problem boils down to a lack of effective marketer leadership, said Liodice. “As leaders, we, as an industry, have refused to make the tough calls – calls that would take us out of the cesspool of suboptimum growth. For example, we as leaders should not accept this byzantine, non-transparent, super complex digital media supply chain.” To improve matters, the ANA’s CMO Masters Circle created a 12-point guide of actions to help foster growth in areas like brand and creative excellence, talent, transparency and brand safety.

Speaking of, the ad tech industry is expanding, with employee headcount in the “brand safety” category in the lead, according to Pivotal Research Group analyst Brian Wieser. “Once again the fastest growing group of companies we have tracked are the companies with tools related to ad quality and brand safety, which in this grouping includes IAS and DoubleVerify,” says Wieser the report. Social media management providers like Hootsuite and location-based analytics firms were next in growth.

Another speaker at the ANA gathering took a poke at a rival. Walmart CMO Tony Rogers said the retailer is now offering free 2-day shipping on purchases of $35 or more – no membership fee, like Amazon Prime’s, necessary. “We just don’t think you should have to pay $99 a year for that privilege,” said Rogers.

CASTING

Fortune Feimster reunites with The Mindy Project’s Mindy Kaling and exec producer Charlie Grandy as a cast member of upcoming NBC comedy Champions…Ella Purnell (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children) landed the lead in upcoming Starz drama Sweetbitter….Jay Hayden (The Catch) has been cast in ABC’s upcoming Grey’s Anatomy firefighters spin-off….Javier Munoz (Hamilton) and Anna Hopkins (Arrow) will guest star on season 3 of Freeform’s Shadowhunters – and they won’t be playing nice….Alyla Marzoff (Grandfathered) and Sedale Threatt Jr. (Hap and Leonard) have been added to the cast of upcoming Freeform’s Siren in recurring roles.
