Longstanding comedy purveyor Funny Or Die has been acquired by prominent business and political figure Henry R. Muñoz III.
Muñoz is a business leader, architect, philanthropist, and Democratic fundraiser, Variety reports. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, but the acquisition includes the Funny Or Die brand, content library, original production slate, and its social media properties (which have amassed roughly 40 million followers).
Funny Or Die was founded 14 years ago by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and Judd Apatow. Muñoz purchased the brand from its stakeholders: AMC Networks, Turner, and Sequoia Capital.
Ferrell will continue to serve as an advisor to the company, and Funny Or Die's existing executive team will remain onboard, including CEO Mike Farah, CFO and COO Michele Rosette, and chief creative officer Joe Farrell (who has been promoted from EVP of long-form development and programming).
