Jesse Camp

Who is Jesse Camp?

Jesse Camp was the winner of the first Wanna Be a VJ contest on MTV beating over 5000 other contestants including Dave Holmes for a VJ job on the network. During his year and a half on Mtv, Camp was a cohost of music video show Total Request Live, and also hosted the summer series "Lunch With Jesse" as well as "MTV Rocks Off". Although the original contest rules were to let the winner be a VJ for a period of two weeks, Camp became so popular on the channel that the network immediately extended his contract for a full year. Although his eccentric style and behavior were polarizing to some, there was no denying Camp's charisma and utter originality. Jesse was voted one of VH1's Twenty Greatest Mtv Moments in 2010.
