David Holmes is an
American sportscaster and was also the winner of
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.
