TV Lit Agent Laura Gordon Leaving ICM for CAA Amid Coronavirus Shutdown

Hollywood’s talent agencies may be significantly impacted by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but agents are still making moves in a bizarre and unprecedented crisis.

Television literary agent Laura Gordon, who has risen from the assistant level at ICM Partners nearly a decade ago to senior agent, left the shop amicably this week after the expiration of her contract, sources said. CAA is in the process of finalizing her deal, added another insider.

Gordon will join an institution that has just instituted across-the-board salary reductions, not to mention one of the majors currently in a contentious battle with the Writers Guild of America over packaging fees.

At ICM, Gordon represented directors including Nisha Ganatra (“Late Night:”), Tig Notaro (“One Mississippi”), Tracy Oliver (“Girls Trip”), Sarah-Violet Bliss & Charles Rogers (“Search Party”), Tiffany Johnson (“Black Monday”), and Lisa Taddeo (“Three Women”), among others.

While at ICM, she co-lead the agency’s Agent Trainee program. She was selected to Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in 2017.
