☀️ FOX-ROKU C-Suite Shuffle: Collier, Sud Out

Evenin! Here’s the Hollywood + Media news to know on SUNDAY, Nov. 8, 2026.

Where it’s always great when your first introduction to something turns out to be spot-on.

Fare thee well, CYBERTRUCK! Alas, your sales peaked in 2024 and never got anywhere near annual projections for 250k (nor did your price ever get within even 50% of being $39k).

So, America — you’ll now have to find something new to drive around in that instantly signals your personality to everyone before you even get out at the valet.

PLUS: SNL also looked at the state of Elon last night.

OH: No Girls revival for Adam Driver at HBO, but he wishes them “the best of luck.”

YEAH: Hollywood isn’t the only business feeling pinched by competitors these days — DRAFTKINGS just initiated its 3rd layoff this year, while lowering its FY26 financial guidance.

PLUS: F1 had a good Q3, helped by having 1 more race in the quarter vs. a year ago.

• Q3 Revenue: $1.1B (+28% YoY)
  • Total 2026 revenue through 9 months is $2.5B — roughly flat YoY (although that is despite having 2 fewer races thanks to Middle East war disruptions).
• Q3 Payments to teams: $422M (+24% YoY)

HMM: So, a tale of 2 sides is emerging in NETFLIX’s planned purchase of the Radford Studio Center in Hollywood, depending on which PENSKE trade spin you prefer:

BASICALLY: Radford’s owner (and current NETFLIX L.A. office space landlord) HUDSON PACIFIC said NETFLIX is “not deciding to close it until sometime maybe later in the year . . . Or not.”

• Meanwhile, a “source close to NETFLIX” gave the same exact quote to both trades 😱 that the deal is “progressing on the agreed upon timetable and with the agreed upon sets of milestone dates.” So, take that as ya like.
