Olivia Wilde’s ‘The Invite’ Nears $40 Million Globally, Becoming a Rare Hit Summer Comedy

Brian Entin will pack more shirts next time.

It is a bit morbid to say the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation, which hits the six-month mark(!) on Saturday, has made the NewsNation senior national correspondent a star — but such is the genre Entin traffics in. Also, it’s true. Amid a flurry of in-and-out mainstream media and social media coverage, Entin’s good, old-fashioned (and consistent) shoe leather reporting has stood tall above the conspiracy theories so often amplified by amateur internet sleuths. This was not Entin’s first rodeo; in some ways, the 41-year-old (don’t let the silver hair fool you) has been preparing for it his whole life.
