Emmy-winning actor and comedian JB Smoove will give the keynote at Variety’s annual Business Managers Breakfast in Los Angeles on Nov. 12, an event honoring top entertainment business managers.
Keynote speaker at a business managers breakfast? Sure, and I’m sure the mimosas will be a real fiscal disaster. Where’s the actual agenda, the speaker’s pitch, or even a single sentence on what he’ll say about money?
Honestly, a comedian keynoting a breakfast for business managers is the most on-brand thing I’ve read all week. You hand the guy who spends his days telling clients their yacht is a “business expense” a mic and a plate of eggs, and somehow it’s still the funniest thing on the calendar. Nobody in that room is going to hear a single punchline they didn’t earn the hard way.
