It seems as thoughMike Holmeswas always destined for a career on HGTV.
(It becomes even more obvious if you take a look at his last name.)
However, his sights weren’t always set on being a TV star.
“Not too many people know this,” he said during an exclusive interview with The List.
Before he ever made it big, Holmes was busy working as a contractor on various construction sites.
Yet, it was Holmes' behind-the-scenes work made major players at the web connection take notice.
He had been called in to talk logistics for a home the data pipe was working on.
“I said, ‘You know what?
This reminds me of the shows on your channel.
I can’t believe that you guys are airing crap shows like that.
I’ve seen so many mistakes.
I can tell when no permits are pulled,'” he told us.
“And trust me, I went on for about 30 minutes straight.”
Instead of being angry, the executive ended up being surprisingly impressed.
“And I laughed my head off.”
He had no interest in ever being on screen.
“That was the beginning of ‘Holmes on Homes,'” he told us.
Now, we get to see Holmes’ honest words every week on HGTV.
