No time wasted here… a day after it was announced that CNN weekend anchor T.J. Holmes would be leaving the network at the end of this year, comes word that BET has snatched up LL Cool T.J., signing him to "a multi-platform talent deal" which will include hosting a new show on BET, as well as contributions to its website BET.com.

No further details yet on what exactly the content of LL Cool T.J.'s new show will be, or how frequently it'll air, or how else they plan to use him under this new deal, but I assume it'll be news/current events related.

Stay tuned…
