Photoshopping BW: We are so going to get in trouble for doing it better. But seriously this is the Businessweek cover story we would love to see

Published: Tuesday, August 22, 2006

When Jeff Zucker was appointed to the newly created roll of CEO of NBC Universal Television many in the industry were shocked. Yeah Jeff was the boy wonder at NBC, making shows like "Today" major hits in its time slot. But Jeff started to lose his mojo after he got pulled into the corporate ranks taking the roll as president of television. We all thought that the boy wonder lost the wonder and was on his way out by way of an order from way up at the top of all tops, Jeff Immelt, CEO of NBC Universal parent General Electric. An order did come from the top of all tops, but it was to approve the upping of the boy wonder who lost his wonder.

Now many who worked alongside Jeff Zucker is now reporting to him and he sits in good with Immelt. Is this NBC Universal CEO Bob Wright's way of indirectly naming his successor? Is this GE's way of picking Wright's replacement for him? During a conference call a few days after the announcement, Bob Wright allegedly joked around calling Jeff his heir apparent. Other execs like Zucker number two Randy Falco President & COO of the television group chuckled nervously. But like us, the industry is convinced that Zucker is indeed Bob Wright's heir apparent. However we would love to hear from Jeff himself, how he pulled it off, who's ego he stroked or who he sold his soul to. This would make for a great Businessweek cover story.
