This Eisner guy has already been on network and cable TV last year.

Michael Ovitz(ex-president of Disney) on the "Gay Mafia"
From Tuesday's LA Times (7/2/02): In a town where corporate brutality is suavely masked behind a smile, onetime mogul Michael Ovitz has shattered protocol and stunned hard-to-shock Hollywood by lashing out at what he calls the industry's "gay mafia" in a forthcoming Vanity Fair article.See also hereOvitz told the magazine he was convinced he was the victim of a well-orchestrated strategy led, in part, by DreamWorks SKG founder David Geffen and Ovitz's founding partner at Creative Artists Agency, Ron Meyer, who now runs Universal Studios.

FROM New York Post: "Although several of the "members" of the "gay Mafia" aren't gay, Ovitz said they include Walt Disney Chairman Michael Eisner and Ron Meyer - Ovitz's onetime business partner and currently the COO of Universal Studios. Others in the cabal, Ovitz said, are former Ovitz protégés Bryan Lourd, Kevin Huvane and Richard Lovett, as well as talent manager Bernie Brillstein. Ovitz says the group is still after him. "And they still hate me. Everyone. "David [Geffen] has always hated me. He got Ronnie [Meyer] to turn on me, and then Bryan Lourd and everyone else," said Ovitz."

5/14/95 Toronto SunMINNIE KNOWS: Is there a corporation anywhere on our corrupt planet more obsessed with fostering and maintaining a straight-arrow, family-values image than Disney? Of course not. But Buzz, a lively monthly out of Los Angeles - it's sort of like Toronto Life but more fun - says in its cover story that a lot of people who push the squeaky-clean, mom-dad-two-kids-plus-dog, relentlessly upbeat Disney image are more than just cheerful, gang: they're gladly, joyously gay. Yes, kiddies, as many as 40 per cent of Disney's 63,000 troops are gay. Yeah? Who says so, I can hear you asking. Well, how about Disney chairman Michael Eisner, who gave this estimate to a gay-rights activist. Working for the far-flung Disney kingdom is "magic," says one gay employee. Recently, a gay and lesbian pride day was held at Walt Disney World and 12,000 showed up, walking down the streets of the Magic Kingdom "holding hands, embracing, and kissing." And in yet another example of synchronicity, Spy has a story on Hollywood's 'Gay Mafia,' a group that packs a tremendous punch in the movie industry's boardrooms
