Kasich signs with top Hollywood talent agency as he leaves Ohio governor's mansion

Outgoing Ohio Gov. John Kasich is signing with a top Hollywood talent agency.

United Talent Agency (UTA) announced it had signed Kasich as one of its clients on Monday — the same day that the Republican governor, who’s considering a 2020 White House bid, was poised to leave office. Ohio Gov.-elect Mike DeWine (R) will replace him.

UTA said in a statement that it “will help [Kasich] navigate the next phase of his public and private life.”

“I’m excited to work with UTA to keep my voice active across the world and share my experiences and observations to help improve the lives of others,” Kasich, 66, said. The agency will represent Kasich across its speakers, news and broadcast, and media rights divisions, it said.

Kasich joins a star-studded lineup of celebrities, journalists and political figures repped by the top talent agency, including CNN’s Dana Bash, Jake Tapper, Anderson Cooper, Don Lemon and Jim Acosta, “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd, “The View” co-host Meghan McCain, Fox News’s Bill Hemmer and Brian Kilmeade, and Norah O’Donnell and Margaret Brennan of CBS News.

UTA’s speakers division lists clients such as rapper Pitbull, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas), former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and actor Terry Crews.

“It is an incredible honor to represent one of the nation’s most unifying and inspiring political voices,” UTA co-president Jay Sures said in a statement.

“We’re thrilled to work with Gov. Kasich as he looks to the future by bringing his unique experience, wisdom and perspective to an even wider array of audiences,” Sures said.

UTA has been increasing its footprint in Washington in recent years. For the past three years, it’s hosted a much-buzzed-about White House Correspondents’ Association party tied to the annual dinner in the nation’s capital.

In 2017, UTA made headlines when it canceled its annual Academy Awards party, instead opting to donate money to the American Civil Liberties Union and the International Rescue Committee. The move, which UTA’s CEO said at the time was to “express the creative community’s growing concern with anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States,” came after President Trump had signed an executive order temporarily barring citizens and refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States.

I could be his talent agent for half what he’s being charged. It’s going to be easy.

Hello CNN? I have a potential on air talent you just can’t pass up. The best thing about it is you can pass him off as one of your conservative commentators.

Going for that soft-porn acting career he always wanted?

He’ll do film noir about the murder of several pizzas found stabbed to death with forks.

Being a back stabbing a-hole to the GOP didn’t hurt either.

I think all standup comedians should have a good agency booking them.

who’s considering a 2020 White House bid

Of course he is going to primary against an incumbent with a 90% approval rating within his party.

He's going to form an "exploratory committee" so he can scam a pile of money out of Democrats and dumb establishment Republicans. CNN and MSNBC will give him all the airtime he wants to talk them into writing checks, then he will decline to run "after speaking with his family."

"He’ll do film noir"

Maybe he can co-host with Eddie Muller on TCM's Noir Alley

My Hollywood contacts tell me that Kasich has already landed a deal. He'll play the supportive father in a new TV series, 'The Further Adventures of Pajama Boy'.

So his time in public office was ultimately about enriching himself. Typical of a leftist.
