Disney has debuted a suite of tools and offerings for advertisers designed to unify its linear networks and streaming platforms into a streamlined home for sponsored messages. At a tech showcase for media buyers, an online prelude to the traditional mid-May upfront, executives emphasized the versatility of Disney, especially since the company took full control of Hulu in 2019. At the time of that transaction, Hulu was generating more than $1 billion in ad revenue, with eMarketer estimating it will reach $2.7 billion this year as dollars continue to migrate to streaming. The new lineup includes Disney Select, a way for marketers to select desired audiences from the company’s portfolio based on buyer behavior, household characteristics and psychographics.

A new podcast, Lost Hills , will explore a series of strange shootings at a state park in Malibu, California, one of which ended with the murder of a 35-year-old father in front of his two kids. The eight-part series , hosted by journalist Dana Goodyear and produced by Western Sound and Pushkin Industries, will premiere March 16th.

Welcome to Too Long; Didn’t Watch , a TV podcast produced by Rolling Stone and OBB Sound, presented by Google Assistant, and hosted by yours truly. In each episode, we attempt a new method of scaling Peak TV, by pairing a celebrity guest with a series they’ve never seen and showing them only the very first and very last episodes, to see if they can figure out what in the world happened in between. We decided to try something a little different this week, by matching our latest guest star with a show where she had not only seen the pilot already, she was in the pilot. In the same pilot season where Gillian Jacobs booked the role of Britta on Community , she was also hired for what was meant to be a recurring role on The Good Wife as Sonia, an assistant to both Alicia Florrick (Juliana Margulies) and Cary Agos (Matt Czurchy) as they competed for what was meant to be a single associate position at the law firm. It’s not uncommon for actors to take multiple roles in the … [Read more...] about ‘Too Long; Didn’t Watch’ Recap: Gillian Jacobs Cross-Examines ‘The Good Wife’
