T.J. Holmes is hosting BET Networks’ Don’t Sleep, an original series that will deliver “smart, biting social commentary on significant issues important to African-Americans,” according to the network. BET will debut the half-hour show on October 1, 2012 at 11:00pm ET/PT.
The show promises to dissect and discuss current headlines as well as lesser publicized stories that mainstream media may not be covering.
Holmes was an anchor for the weekend edition of CNN and covered the first Presidential debate between then-Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain, the terrorist attacks on September 11th, and the shootings at the Virginia Tech campus. The award-winning journalist will work with executive producers Madeleine Smithberg and Sarah North of Mad Cow Productions on Don’t Sleep, with Mad Cow produced the series for the network.
Smithberg’s credits include being the co-creator and former showrunner of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
