T.J. Holmes Biography

T.J. Holmes is an award-winning journalist and co-anchor of "America This Morning" and "World News Now." He joined ABC News as an anchor/correspondent in September 2014, and contributes daily to "Good Morning America," the most-watched network morning program.

Holmes first gained national prominence during his time at CNN, where he spent 5 years as anchor of "CNN Saturday/Sunday Morning" and covered numerous breaking news events. He reported on major incidents such as Saddam Hussein’s execution in 2006, the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India in 2008, and at Glasgow Airport in 2007. Holmes also reported from the scene of several impactful stories including the devastating Joplin, Missouri tornadoes, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in New Orleans, and the tragic shootings at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. His extensive coverage includes the crisis of US Airways Flight 1549 that crash-landed in New York’s Hudson River in January 2009. He contributed to CNN's coverage of the Gulf Oil Spill and the 2008 Presidential primary campaigns, which helped CNN secure Peabody Awards.

Holmes has also ventured into other broadcasting roles, hosting the late-night hybrid talk show "DON'T SLEEP!," which garnered him an NAACP Image Award Nomination. Beyond journalism, he is actively involved in academia and community service. He serves on the chancellor's board of advisors at the University of Arkansas and on the board of visitors at Emory University in Atlanta.

Behind the Story with T.J. Holmes
Choices Matter

When the Big Story Happens

T.J. Holmes has covered major breaking news stories: Saddam Hussein’s execution, the rescue of the Chilean miners, the Mumbai terror attacks, and countless other major events of national and international interest. Holmes shares stories of being on the scene when the big story happens.

Crisis

One out of every two black boys is not graduating from high school in the United States. T.J. Holmes questions why the nation is allowing the loss of an entire generation of black boys who, by their 18th birthdays, are doomed to a life of poverty, crime, prison, and death. He discusses why this isn’t being treated as the national crisis that it is and the impact it will have on the black community and this country for years to come.

You Left CNN to Go Where?!?!

Through his own personal and recent experience, Holmes discusses how people have to make difficult decisions, take chances, and learn the lesson of failure when things don't work out as planned. He shares why it's important for people to sacrifice personal comfort for something greater. Audiences will learn they can't always play it safe and what steps they need to take to make things change.

Representing Something Greater Than Yourself

Holmes takes pride in being a native of Arkansas, and knows the importance of everyone remembering that they are always representing something greater than themselves. It's important for everyone to do this, not just people in public life. Whether it's your neighborhood, city, state, parents, university, or employer, how you carry yourself leaves an impression. Holmes teaches audiences on how being an advocate and a representative of things that are vital to them will lead them down a path towards success.
