Who is Cory Ellison in The Morning Show?
The network president who loves chaos like weather · UBA Executives
Cory Ellison (The network president who loves chaos like weather) is a character in The Morning Show, part of UBA Executives. Cory Ellison runs UBA's news division like a man surfing an avalanche on purpose: grinning, quoting musicals, betting the network on instability because stability was never going to promote him. He sees Bradley Jackson's chaos as programming, Alex's crisis as content, and the Me Too earthquake as a market correction he can trade. The performance hides the series' strangest heart — Cory's devotion to Bradley is the one position he refuses to hedge, and it costs him more than any quarter's earnings.
