Dream Job is an American reality televisionseries made by ESPN, which premieredon February 22, 2004.

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

The premise of Dream Job was to find a new anchor for ESPN's popular sports news program, SportsCenter.

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.

In September 2003, the show's producers went on a nationwide talent search to find those who wanted a chance to be an ESPN anchor.

These ranged from an analysis of the NCAA men's basketball tournament to the "Al Jaffe Sports Quiz", which is given to every on-air personality who applies for a job at ESPN.

For the "My SportsCenter" segment in week 4, on March 14, 2004, all the eight remaining contestants were sent to Florida to do reports on Major League Baseball teams in Spring Training.

In week 5, on March 21, 2004, "My SportsCenter" again became a solo segment, with each contestant reading two highlight packages, both on the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Two days earlier, on March 19, 2004, the entertainment section of the New York Post ran a brief paragraph that stated that Hall and Haskins had been dating for some time.

Haskins and Selwyn, arguably the most popular contestants on the show, were cut, leaving Levine and Hall in the championship round.

As for Selwyn, he became a color commentator on the Game Show Network series, Extreme Dodgeball, which began on June 15, 2004.

All five judges from Season 2 returned: The Denver Post columnist, Cold Pizza contributor, and Around the Horn panelist Woody Page; former Cold Pizza co-host Kit Hoover (who actually made her final appearance on Cold Pizza during this Dream Job season); The Philadelphia Inquirer writer and ESPN NBA analyst who was judging possible colleagues, Stephen A. Smith; and ESPN executive vice-president of talent, Al Jaffe.

That left Bullard and Brown in the last showdown for the Dream Job of ESPN NBA analyst.
