Hotline Feature – Kristyn Burtt: Macy’s Parade Surge, Diddy Doc Fallout, and Zootopia 2’s Box Office Pop
Entertainment reporter Kristyn Burtt joins Dave Weekley on Hotline to break down a huge holiday media weekend. She explains why the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade posted another year of major ratings growth, propelled by live-event demand and viral anticipation for the K-Pop Demon Hunters. Kristyn also previews Netflix’s explosive new Diddy documentary, outlines the legal fight brewing over allegedly stolen footage, and digs into the long-running feud between 50 Cent and Sean Combs. At the box office, she covers the surprise surge for Zootopia 2, the ongoing success of Wicked: For Good, and raises a provocative question about whether Glen Powell is truly Hollywood’s next leading man. The segment closes with 2026 TV trends driven by Gen Z and Gen Alpha’s push for longer streaming seasons.
