Bob Iger picks ‘Daddy Josh’ D’Amaro as his Disney CEO replacement

Stop us if you’ve heard this one before. Disney CEO Bob Iger has picked his successor, naming the chairman of Disney Experiences, the segment of the company that runs its theme parks. While that didn’t pan out too well last time, with Bob Chapek taking over for two years from 2020 to 2022 before Iger returned to relieve him of his duties, the second try just might be the charm. This time around, Chapek’s successor in the parks division is being handed the keys to the Magic Kingdom. If you’re a Disney adult, however, you already know all about Josh D’Amaro. You might even know him by his other name: Daddy Josh.
