When you're pushing 90 years old you have to start at least pretending that you won't be around forever. That's probably why Viacom and CBS chairman Sumner Redstone named a successor this weekend: Viacom CEO Philippe Daumann.
Although, if I could give a word of warning to Philippe. You aren't the first successor that Sumner has named. Take a quick look at what has happened to everyone else he has named in the past.
Just sayin.
