Rick and Morty took a turn for the meta in this week's episode when the animated show took a shot at Warner Bros. CEO David Zaslav.

The chief executive of CNN’s parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, David Zaslav, is expected to get hit with a major pay cut, three years into a disastrous merger of Warner Brothers and Discovery, which was accompanied by a disastrous drop in ratings and revenue for CNN, once considered the crown jewel of the now vanished Time Warner company..

The annual pay package for Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) chief David Zaslav could drop as much as 50% after the company split deal expected in mid-2026, due to a strong shareholder rebuke at the company’s 2025 annual meeting.
