Now you know his political career is over.
Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer has a new TV job, joining two of New York’s most visible, and very much retired, pols, Ed Koch and Al D’Amato, as he becomes NY1’s newest “Wise Guy” next week.
The hooker-happy former chief exec is scheduled to debut on the 24-hour news channel’s weekly “Inside City Hall” show at 7 p.m. Tuesday alongside the former Democratic mayor and retired Republican senator.
Spitzer went from New York’s internationally acclaimed two-term attorney general to a political pariah after he resigned as governor in 2008 when he was caught in a humiliating hooker scandal.
Since leaving Albany, Spitzer has written for Slate.com and hosted political TV shows on CNN and Current TV’s “Viewpoint.” He was fired by CNN after posting abysmal ratings.
Koch called the Princeton University and Harvard Law School grad “one of the smartest people I know,” while D’Amato predicted, “Eliot will certainly add some spark to the Wise Guys. Look for more fireworks!”
