Entertainment Weekly’s Dave Karger, who earned the Oscar night “official red carpet greeter” nod from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, has jumped to Fandango, the online movie ticket seller that is bent on evolving into a full-blown entertainment programming site.
Karger, 39, takes on the chief correspondent position at Fandango, which is owned by Comcast’s NBCUniversal unit.
He reports to Hilary Smith, senior VP/digital communications and integrated marketing at NBCU, which houses the iVillage, Daily Candy, Hulu, Fandango and Television Without Pity sites.
Karger worked at Time Inc.’s EW, online and print, for more than 15 years.
