Geoff Bennett:
Barry Diller has been a major force in American entertainment and business for more than half-a-century. He helped reshape television decades ago by creating ABC’s groundbreaking “Movie of the Week,” went on to lead Paramount Pictures during a golden era of blockbuster filmmaking, and later launched the FOX Broadcasting Company, disrupting the TV landscape yet again.
Today, his digital empire spans travel, home services, and online dating with companies you know, like Expedia, Angi, and Match under his umbrella. He’s also known for his longtime marriage to fashion icon Diane Von Furstenberg.
I recently spoke with Diller about his remarkable journey and the surprising personal revelations in his candid new memoir, “Who Knew.”
Barry Diller, welcome to the “News Hour.”
Barry Diller, Author, “Who Knew”: Thank you.
