Televisionation—Talk Back to Television: Deadline Hollywood’s Dade Hayes on AI and More

October 2, 2025

Talk Back to Television welcomes Dade Hayes, Business Editor at Deadline Hollywood. I reached out to Dade after he picked up some comments from my Friday Fireside interview with fellow ex-Viacommie Doug Herzog. Dade has a broad journalist perspective on the entertainment business, having booked time with The NY Times, Variety, TV Guide, Boston Globe, L.A. Times, The Globe and Mail, Forbes and Fierce Cable. Shedding his reporter “shackles,” Dade has a lot to say about the future of Artificial Intelligence and the entertainment business.
