TV executive Corie Henson is leaving Warner Bros. Discovery amid the company’s general restructuring under CEO David Zaslav, which stems from the completion of the Discovery-WarnerMedia merger.
Henson’s post was executive vice president, head of unscripted programming for TBS, TNT and truTV. In the role, she oversaw and spearheaded unscripted creative development and production for all three cable brands. Prior to joining WarnerMedia in December 2019, Henson was the EVP of Alternative Entertainment at Fox Broadcasting Company, where she shepherded all development and franchises such as “The Masked Singer,” “MasterChef,” “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Hell’s Kitchen,” in addition to the Teen Choice Awards, Fox’s New Year’s Eve with Steve Harvey and all live event specials.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Todd Weiser is also departing the company. Weiser led Food Network and Cooking Channel’s programming and development departments beginning in 2019. He joined the network in 2013 as vice president of programming and development, launching several franchises “Holiday Baking Championship” and subsequent spinoffs. Before his tenure at Food Network, Weiser was the director of program development at Animal Planet.
