As New York’s Attorney General from 1999 to 2006, Spitzer made a name for himself for bringing huge cases against Wall Street, which earned him the nickname “The Sheriff of Wall Street.”

Spitzer became Governor of New York in 2007.

A year later, he stepped down in disgrace after he got exposed for enjoying the services of prostitutes.

He followed that by entering media as a columnist for Slate.com.  His TV experience includes the short-lived CNN program Parker/Spitzer and his current gig Viewpoint with Eliot Spitzer on Current TV.

According to NY1, Spitzer’s first day on the job is Tuesday, July 10.
