As the media industry has evolved, so has the guest list for this event. This year, there were a large number of content creators in the room, from fashion commentator Nicky Campbell to Recess Therapy<\/em>\u2019s Julian Shapiro-Barnum. Hot Ones<\/em> host Sean Evans was featured on the Most Powerful People in Media list and contemplated who his next dream guest would be. \u201cTom Cruise,\u201d he said. \u201cI just know I could crush that interview.\u201d<\/p>\n Writer, professor, and opinionist Roxane Gay was on hand to weigh in on the most important news story of the past month: The Summer House<\/em> scandal playing out on Bravo. \u201cIt\u2019s gotten a little ridiculous and overblown,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it\u2019s the best thing to happen to the show.\u201d She admitted to not being a Summer House<\/em> fanatic; however, she is all-in on Real Housewives of Rhode Island.<\/em> Cohen, who was close by, would be happy to hear the news of a fan.<\/p>\n Print media was alive and well represented at the party, with W<\/em>\u2019s Sara Moonves in attendance alongside New York Magazine<\/em>\u2019s David Haskell and Vogue<\/em>\u2019s Chloe Malle with Vanity Fair<\/em>\u2019s own Mark Guiducci. With so many stories about traditional media\u2019s gloomy forecast, the night provided a respite from the usual negativity and instead offered a reason to celebrate. \u201cI\u2019m optimistic always,\u201d Gayle King shouted as she made her way from the carpet into the dining room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
