CollegeHumorLogo.jpgIs former NBC Entertainment chairman Ben Silverman going back to college? Probably not, but CollegeHumor may be going to Silverman, AdAge.com reports.

According to AdAge.com, IAC is in talks to fold Connected Ventures into Silverman’s Electus entertainment company. Connected Ventures is the parent of CollegeHumor and TV-production arm Notional.

CollegeHumor president and co-founder Josh Abramson told AdAge.com:

We are certainly going to be working with Ben, and we are focused on trying to blow up CollegeHumor. How that’s going to pan out is still up in the air.

Former YouTube head of content Jordan Hoffner recently joined Electus, and AdAge.com believes IAC chairman Barry Diller is trying to mine Silverman’s connections in the TV industry.
