The current political landscape also played into the night\u2019s festivities. Also at the top of the program, Hoberman noted how President Donald Trump and his administration have rolled back healthcare policies and cut programs like Medicaid, making it harder for vulnerable populations to get care. \u201cIf you want change, please vote,\u201d said Hoberman, a philanthropist and longtime Saban advocate who is married to prominent entertainment attorney Tom Hoberman. \u201cWe must vote for leaders who will protect healthcare.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tJimmy Smits and Wanda De Jesus also shared the podium to praise Saban\u2019s work in the Los Angeles area and introduce an emotional video featuring a woman named Heidy and her family, a clip that detailed their personal story of challenges and triumph under the clinic\u2019s care. Smits also flagged that the current administration has removed longstanding protections against immigration enforcement at clinics, at hospitals, schools and places of worship, a decision he noted that \u201chas left families afraid to seek care and forcing doctors and nurses to take on the added burden of trying to protect patients from fear and intimidation instead of what they\u2019re trained to do, care for others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFollowing their remarks, Hoberman\u2019s two children, Eric and Sarah, took the stage in a surprise moment that was not on the program as they honored their mother\u2019s tireless work on behalf of Saban for more than four decades. They offered a heartfelt tribute as their mother looked on in shock before she took to the stage to accept a glass trophy.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tSarah said she sends invitations by hand, assembles centerpieces, convinces musicians and comedians to donate their time and even dyes towels black to meet performer\u2019s backstage riders. \u201cNo task is too big, no detail is too small, and there is absolutely nothing that she won\u2019t do for the clinic. She, along with the doctors and the staff, are quite simply the heartbeat of this organization,\u201d Sarah Hoberman said.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tDavid Hoberman added: \u201cTo everyone in this room who\u2019s ever seen Ellen Hoberman\u2019s name pop up on their phone and thought, \u2018Oh God, what does she want now?\u2019 Just remember, she\u2019s not calling for herself.

What an interesting time for this gala. The entertainment industry obviously is going through some really tough changes, and if you\u2019d like an example, look no further than this podium. A dinner that was hosted by [Conan O\u2019Brien] two years ago and Jimmy Kimmel last year is now being presided over by the seventh lead on Peacock\u2019s <em>The Office<\/em> spin-off, <em>The Paper<\/em>, a show that some of you are hearing about for the very first time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThen came the political quip with a dig at Trump. \u201cThere are so many incredible people in this room, philanthropists, talents, pioneers, previous honorees, like Bela, Pearlena and [Orly Adelson], board members like Dan Fogelman. Dan created <em>Paradise<\/em>, a show set in the future about an assassinated president, which is both sci-fi and aspirational,\u201d he said as he crossed his fingers with a smirk. \u201cEllen told me I could do that joke.

David was with Imagine at that time and very much in the keeping of all of our experiences on that show, David had a passion and a commitment that far exceeded what his job as an executive producer might have required. Right away, David became part of the fabric of the show,\u201d Britton explained. \u201cHe popped up in Austin so often I assumed he had relocated. He would go out for dinner and drinks with all of us after a day of shooting during which he could be usually spotted behind the monitor in tears. We loved when David was around. He was one of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tNevins became such a close collaborator that he even helped Britton lug boxes out of her apartment at the end of the first season. \u201cI think he was wearing a suit jacket. My comforter dragged on the ground as he shoved it into the car.

His relentless commitment reminds us of the profound difference that one person can make,\u201d she continued. \u201cI\u2019m so proud to call you my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tIn accepting, Nevins noted how his research into the award\u2019s namesake revealed that Somberg had been killed 50 years ago this week in a botched robbery at the clinic office. \u201cThe free clinic that Lenny volunteered in the late \u201960s and he eventually ran until his murder was created as a place for people had nowhere else to turn. It was short of money and resources, but it had very clear conviction that people who were poor were undocumented, which wasn\u2019t such an issue in the 1960s, but it\u2019s a huge issue today. People struggling with addiction or living outside the boundaries of what we call respectable society still deserve thoughtful medical care,\u201d he detailed. \u201cAnd Lenny Somberg was first among those who helped turn that conviction into a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tHe then thanked the staff, volunteers, doctors and donors who refuse to let the clinic\u2019s mission disappear. \u201cYou turned a small struggling free clinic into a bedrock institution in this city, a city that, by the way, just so happens to have the largest concentration of uninsured patients in the country,\u201d said Nevins, who saved a few charming words for fellow honoree Friedlander. \u201cEven though you\u2019ve only been on the job for a year [at Amazon], you are now the steward of the most stable company in all of Hollywood. So listen, all of us in the Hollywood creative community are rooting hard for you, my friend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThose in the room cheering him on included Amazon\u2019s Albert Cheng and Sue Kroll, NBCUniversal\u2019s Pearlena Igbokwe, Skydance TV\u2019s George Cheeks, CBS Entertainment President Amy Reisenbach, Sony Pictures Entertainment\u2019s Keith Le Goy, Katherine Pope and Jay Levine, Netflix\u2019s Jinny Howe, Warner Bros.

But not before a video tribute from some famous faces like Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Amanda Seyfried, Uzo Aduba, Noah Centineo, Tom Hanks, Gary Goetzman and Callum Turner.<\/p>\n<p>\n\tGoggins opened his tribute by detailing how he first met Friedlander 14 years ago when he bought his dream home in a \u201cvery, very cool neighborhood,\u201d and it just so happened to be a few doors down from the executive who, at the time, worked at Netflix. <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cNow, for the actors in this room, you know exactly what that means. My brain was on fire. I\u2019m living two doors down from a studio executive, Peter Friedlander from Netflix,\u201d he recalled. \u201cI just thought, \u2018Man, Peter Friedlander, a studio executive from Netflix is going to get every single idea I\u2019ve ever had.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThose pitch meetings never came to fruition, but what filled the void was a lasting friendship. \u201cMost executives, nothing wrong with this, but they learn the business from behind a desk. But Peter learned it standing on a set at five o\u2019clock in the morning in the rain and figuring out finally how to get the thing made,\u201d said Goggins, who now works on an Amazon Prime show in <em>Fallout<\/em>. \u201cAnd when you\u2019ve done the work, you never forget the people who do the work. Peter loves talent. He believes in talent, actors, writers, directors. When Peter looks at a set, he doesn\u2019t just see a production. I know this firsthand. He sees every single person who\u2019s pouring themselves into it and he\u2019s got their back. I know because in the last year, he\u2019s had my back.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/S102626A-2252.jpg?w=3000\" alt srcset data-lazy-sizes height=\"2000\" width=\"3000\" decoding=\"async\"><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span>Goggins honors Friedlander<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Credit: Tyler Curtis\/ABImages<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tFriedlander, who started his career as a driver for actor Gary Sinise before going on to work for Hanks and Goetzman at Playtone, took a quick walk down memory lane. He recalled how he moved to Los Angeles not to chase Hollywood dreams but to \u201cfulfill my childhood dream and every child\u2019s dream of becoming a career bureaucrat for the city of Los Angeles.\u201d A career in city planning didn\u2019t come to be, but he learned enough about how an urban sprawl functions to know the crucial role of a place like Saban Community Clinic. <\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cTo be here tonight accepting this honor at the Saban Community Clinic Gala, it genuinely feels like a full circle moment because you cannot have a thriving city without a thriving community, and you cannot have a thriving community without accessible healthcare. It is fundamental. It is infrastructure as essential as any road, as any railway or any crosswalk. And that\u2019s why the Saban Community Clinic plays such a vital role in the life of this city,\u201d he said. \u201cOur neighbors, our fellow Los Angelenos, our friends rely on this free and affordable care this clinic provides. That care is part of what makes Los Angeles a better place for all of us to live. And while I\u2019ve spent nearly three decades in the business of storytelling, connecting people around the world, alongside so many of the colleagues I\u2019m honored to share this room with tonight, my heart has always been split between that global work and the work we do right here at home, making our city a more humane, a more civilized, and a more functional place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tFriedlander also name-checked a few power players, including Hanks and Goetzman, \u201cthe impressive trio\u201d of Cindy Holland, Channing Dungey and Bela at Netflix, and \u201cthe formidable\u201d Mike Hopkins at Amazon. It is worth nothing that Friedlander has been in his post at Amazon MGM Studios for a little more than a year overseeing the company\u2019s original TV portfolio in the U.S., global tentpoles and MGM Television and MGM Alternative projects, among other duties. He joined for the chief role after exiting Netflix under Bajaria and Ted Sarandos following a long 14-year tenure.<\/p>\n<div>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/S102626A-0187.jpg?w=2000\" alt srcset data-lazy-sizes height=\"3000\" width=\"2000\" decoding=\"async\"><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t<span>Sue Kroll and Friedlander <\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite>Credit: Tyler Curtis\/ABImages<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n\tIn closing, Friedlander thanked his parents, including his mother who was in the room, and his father who was recuperating at home after falling and undergoing an emergency hip replacement. \u201cI keep thinking about how lucky he was to be able to begin his recovery that quickly, that safely, and that\u2019s not something everyone gets. That\u2019s exactly the point of tonight. Whatever we can do to guarantee that all the people around us, all of them have that same right to that same immediate dignified care, that is what would make tonight a real success.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\tThe night felt like a success for Bajaria, too. After all the awards had been handed out and the event concluded, <em>The Hollywood Reporter <\/em>asked the veteran executive what it felt like to be making some high-profile rounds so soon after exiting Netflix, and she was direct in keeping her comments focused solely on Saban. But she did say that she\u2019s felt the love since news of her exit broke, and there was never a chance that she would skip attending such a special gathering of friends, colleagues, Saban supporters and industry heavyweights. \u201cIt\u2019s just one of those nights,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s such a warm room.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\u201cI have been part of the Saban Community Clinic for many, many years. I\u2019ve been on the board and I\u2019m a previous honoree. What I love about this event and being here today is it has always been the coming together of the TV community \u2014 always. This room is so warm and generous and we support each other,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd I will say the outpouring that I\u2019ve received in the last couple of weeks has been so beautiful and amazing. I\u2019ve been in television for 30 years, and at this point I have worked with what feels like nearly every single person from agents and producers to writers and actors. I love it.
