It was the network's second reality show, with two editions of '' Beg, Borrow & Deal'' having previously aired.

The winner of ''Dream Job'' would get a one-year contract with the network, and would play a trivia quiz on ''SportsCenter'' to determine her or his annual salary. The winner would also receive a new Mazda 3.

Dave Holmes (sportscaster)
David Holmes is an American sportscaster and was also the winner of Dream Job (Season 2), the second season of ''Dream Job'', the ESPN reality television talent search show that looks for new on-air talent for the all-sports television network. A 22-year-old student at Kent State University who comes from Uniontown, Ohio, Holmes got onto the show by being one of the two Wendy's Wild Card Winners (the other being K.C. James). It took Holmes a while to find his rhythm, but once he picked it up, he was nearly flawless, though he did stumble on occasions throughout the season. He came close to being cut in both episodes three and nine, but survived to take a not-so-easy win in the season's tenth and final episode over Grant Thompson, who was almost as, if not more, solid than Holmes most of the time, but Thompson's major stumbles in episode ten aided Holmes in his win. Along with his one-year ESPN contract, Holmes made U.S. dollars, $70,000 in his first year, and was awarded with a brand ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
