Ben Stiller watches Game Three of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden in New York on June 8, 2026. AFP via Getty Images Knicks superfan Ben Stiller has been getting attention for the cool videos he’s been shooting on his iPhone from celebrity row and behind-the-scenes at the team’s games.
But sources tell Page Six Hollywood there’s more to those mini-shoots than collecting footage for social media posts. “Ben is filming a documentary for HBO,” said a showbiz source last night during the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden. “He’s filming it on his phone.” (We’ve reached out reps for Stiller and HBO.)
NBAE via Getty Images Stiller recently directed a doc on his famous parents, “Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost” for Apple TV+, and exec produced “Born to Bowl” for HBO.
Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor were sitting in their usual floor seats last night, along with diehard fans Spike Lee, Timothee Chalamet, Jay-Z, Tracy Morgan, Tina Fey, Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni.
But in Hollywood, any execs watching the game on TV in LA were, of course, more interested in which of their bosses, colleagues and competitors were at the game instead of them, and how much the tickets might’ve cost.
Many moguls sat in their own season seats. Jealous sources told us that WME and TKO exec Mark Shapiro was spotted sitting on the floor with former White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel in WME’s seats. Next to them were Warner Bros. Discovery seats occupied by CEO David Zaslav, “Curb Your Enthusiasm” star Larry David, Ari Emanuel andPatriots owner Robert Kraft, spies said.

Another spy also told us that Casey Wasserman was at the game.
Also seen at the home game the Knicks lost were billionaire Jets owner Woody Johnson, “Marty Supreme” director Josh Safdie, Woody Allen, President Trump, Fat Joe, Mayor Mamdani, Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez Eli Manning, Rick Pitino, Francisco Lindor, Patrick Ewing, Walt “Clyde” Frazier, Allan Houston, John Franco, Juan Soto, Todd Zeile and hockey stars Jonathan Quick, Adam Fox and Vincent Trocheck.
