How-many-agents-does-it-take dept.: William Morris/Endeavor will have three co-chief executives
Two of Hollywood's leading talent agencies agreed today to merge, forming a new agency to be called William Morris Endeavor (WME) Entertainment.
The new agency would be headed by William Morris Agency's Jim Wiatt as chairman and a triumvirate of co-chief executives: Endeavor's founder, Ari Emanuel; Endeavor managing partner Patrick Whitesell; and William Morris President Dave Wirtschafter.
Wiatt, Emanuel, Whitesell and Wirtschafter join company directors John Fogelman, Peter Grosslight, Rick Rosen, Jennifer Rudolph Walsh and Adam Venit on the nine-member board that will guide the agency.
