What is a talent booker?

A talent booker is similar to a booking agent. In this role, your primary responsibilities are to find the appropriate talent to appear in a production and then negotiate a contract for the talent’s appearance. For example, you may work for a late night program where you are in charge of finding celebrities who are currently popular to appear on your show. Once you've selected a celebrity, you negotiate with the talent or agent to get the person to appear on the show.
