Fading Golden Boy Turns 40...We Think
Before reading this snippet from today's Page Six, glance at the picture at the left, then ask yourself, "Is that what 40 looks like?"
JEFF Zucker has been a TV titan for so long, it came as a shock to some that he was only celebrating his 40th birthday at Hiro Ballroom Friday night. Zucker, the president of NBC Universal Television Group [was] executive producer of the "Today" show and "NBC Nightly News" at age 26...
Zucker's true genius would've been having the foresight to go bald when he was 15, or to shave 10 years off his age 14 years ago, establishing a public record for people who think he might be a little older...eh, whatever. We're sure he's whatever age he says he is, just like Catherine Zeta Jones, right? He's put a lot of miles on that face, smiling his way through unpleasant business like handing over huge raises to the Friends cast, knowing that he was paying Matt LeBlanc a million an episode to act slightly retarded, and then finding out he's the only one that would stick around for a spin-off. That alone probably aged him eight years.
