He's probably in a wheelchair by now.

Still releasing films, with an action one released last year with him doing some stunts. Age hadn't quite caught up yet.

Kenneth R. Weinstein, former president and CEO of Hudson Institute, will serve as CBS News ombudsman, Paramount, a Skydance Corporation, announced Monday. As ombudsman, Weinstein will review editorial concerns raised by employees and viewers.

Weinstein served as president and CEO of the Washington, D.C.-based public policy think tank from 2011 until 2020 and is currently its Japan chair. He has served on multiple federal advisory boards spanning the last four U.S. administrations. Weinstein was chairman of the Broadcasting Board of Governors, now the United States Agency for Global Media, from 2017 until 2020.

Weinstein earned a PhD in government from Harvard University. He has written for publications domestically and abroad, and he taught political theory at both Georgetown University and Claremont McKenna College.

Hmmm. I wonder if there is any relation to a certain disgraced-and-currently-incarcerated Hollywood producer.

How CBS Studios & Paramount TV Studios Are Divvying Up Streaming Series Slate: From ‘Reacher’ & ‘Cross’ To ‘Murderbot’ & ‘Clueless’

Here is how CBS Studios and Paramount TV Studios are divvying up their streaming series slates, including 'Reacher', 'Murderbot', 'Cross', 'Clueless'.

deadline.com

Two streaming series originally developed by the former PTVS that CBS Studios took over after the former’s demise — Apple TV+’s Murderbot, renewed for Season 2, and the upcoming Little House On the Prairie for Netflix — will remain at CBS Studios, as will CBS Studios’ homegrown streaming projects including the Star Trek universe on Paramount+.

There is also a general agreement on the development of the now-defunct PTVS, which had moved to CBS Studios. The majority of the slate, dominated by Paramount Pictures IP, will revert back to PTVS, which will develop series based on Paramount film titles moving forward, along with shows based on IP from the library of Miramax, 49% owned by Paramount.

There are a handful of exceptions; projects in active development to which CBS Studios has attached talent including Galaxy Quest and Flashdance, will stay put.

CBS Studios also is keeping the Clueless sequel series with Alicia Silverstone, which is in the works at Peacock. While Clueless is a Paramount movie title, CBS Studios had been working on cracking the IP for TV over the past seven years or so, going through multiple incarnations.

The Galaxy Quest adaptation is still moving forwards.
