Derek Penslar, head of Harvard's anti-Semitism task force, backed out of a panel on anti-Semitism, citing an unwillingness to publicly discuss "goings on at Harvard" due to his role in the task force, which is still being formed. His selection to the task force has elicited widespread criticism, including from prominent Harvard alumni, and his previous actions, such as signing an "apartheid" letter, have sparked controversy. Panel participants expressed concerns about the chilling effect of words being twisted and exploited for political purposes in the fight against anti-Semitism at Harvard.

The main cast members and executive producers of the hit show Yellowstone, including Kevin Costner and Taylor Sheridan, were no-shows at PaleyFest in Los Angeles due to "scheduling conflicts." The panel lineup was changed to include actors Mo Brings Plenty, Dawn Olivieri, Josh Lucas, and Wendy Moniz. The absence of Costner and Sheridan comes at a contentious time on the show, with reports of a possible new direction without Costner. However, Keith Cox, President of Scripted at MTV Entertainment Studios, expressed confidence that Costner will continue with the show.
