Fallen HBO head, Chris Albrecht lands a new gig at Hollywood talent agency

Compared to his old gig as head of big shot cable network HBO, former CEO Chris Albrecht will take a new job a step down the ladder as head of talent agency IMG's media business.

In recent months it had become a bit of a parlor game in the television industry about where (and perhaps whether) he would land. “It’s a town of second, third and fourth chances,” said Sarah Jessica Parker, who starred in “Sex in the City” and now has a production deal with HBO. “I would never be reluctant to work with him again. Maybe I’m being Pollyanna-ish, but people want to work with people who have been successful.” After Scandal, HBO’s Former Leader Lands at IMG [NYT]
