David Ellison's Skydance Taking Over Paramount In $8 Billion Deal
deadline.com
David Ellison's Skydance Media has announced an $8 billion deal to take over Paramount Global, capping a seven-month quest.

Looks like it’s a done deal (serious this time), though there’s technically a 45-day window for someone to make a better offer.

      Reminds me of a joke in Bojack Horseman:

      Diane: "did you hear AOL-Time-Warner-PepsiCo-Viacom-Haliburton-Toyota-Skynet-Trader-Joes got bought out?

      Guy: “Oh really? So how many companies are there in America now? Eight?”
