It didn’t take long for John Kasich to land a new gig.
United Talent Agency announced Monday that it signed Mr. Kasich and will represent him in speaking engagements and media appearances — which the former governor makes frequently.
“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 news release. “We’re thrilled to work with Governor Kasich as he looks to the future by bringing his unique experience, wisdom and perspective to an even wider array of audiences.”
UTA represents news anchors and hosts like Jim Acosta, Anderson Cooper, Jake Tapper and Chuck Todd. Mr. Kasich is often a guest on Mr. Todd’s Meet the Press.
Mr. Kasich hosted a show on Fox News, Heartland with John Kasich, for seven years before running for governor. He’s also written four books, including two New York Times bestsellers, Every Other Monday and Courage is Contagious.
In his post-gubernatorial life, Mr. Kasich is also considering a third run for the presidency, either as a Republican or independent.
“No one knows what the next six months will hold,” Kasich ally and former state GOP chairman Matt Borges previously told The Blade for a profile about Mr. Kasich. “Anyone who tells you they do is not telling the truth.”
Mr. Kasich was on television Monday, but the appearance wasn’t all about him. He attended the inauguration ceremony for his successor, Gov. Mike DeWine.
“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,” Mr. Kasich said in a news release.
