Iger Produces His Own Disney Drama
- Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs, former Disney heir apparents, have returned as advisers to CEO Bob Iger.
- They have been brought on board to help figure out what to do with ESPN and Disney's other television properties.
- Speculation has arisen that their return is also an audition for Iger's job as he looks for a permanent successor.
- Mayer and Staggs have impressive resumes and are currently working together at their investment firm, Candle Media.
- If they end up competing against each other for the CEO job or if Iger passes over them, it will be a moment of high drama.
