MTV True Life - I Wanna Be An MTV VJ | Jesse Camp [Partial]

[@LivingwithPerks]

This was the first time on national TV when people decided to troll and vote for this guy.

[@tomd6704]

Jesse still rocks.

[@BigWillyWeese1701]

I just remember Carson Daly being so annoyed every time he had to be on TV with Camp. It was hilarious.

[@MrCleena]

Jesse is way more likeable than Carson Daly. I would way rather hang out with Jesse any day. Carson seems uptight and bitchy😂

[@dr3wtube144]

I used to look up to this man when I was a kid so much. Long live Jesse!

[@DirtyFrankDahmer]

And you’re still alive??

[@relicman]

Wow, the lack of views on this says how old we 90's kids are lol!

[@miriam.6304]

Right 😂

[@DrMurdercock]

Was 30 years ago man. I know...I know....I feel it too...

[@UncleBabyBillisBibleBonkers]

Thank you to the This is Important podcast for bringing me here xx

[@oo0itsria]

This hurts my 90’s heart 🥺❤

[@LeoKrayola]

I still remember watching this live

[@kcg8162]

Aww he was so cute n has such a positive outlook on life

[@Anthonybchannel]

Dude! I've been LOOKING for this forever! Thank you! Wish you had the whole thing but it's fine. He's my idol and the reason I keep going with life

[@dfpg10]

Dude set your sights a little higher.

[@rastadpl]

@@dfpg10 Lol for real

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

Serious question, why is he your idol??

[@rowlandbuck2703]

He disappeared. Probably dead.

[@SGobuck]

So Jesse was basically the beta version of Russell Brand

[@RosesOfSaturn]

I'm just watching the commercials lol

[@kristoffersevillena7657]

Not many people can say that (1) they sat on a couch with Tori Amos, (2) sang with Tori Amos, (3) had Tori Amos's hand on their leg, (4) had Tori Amos hug them, and (5) all of the above.

[@MrBeetsGaming]

MGK could play this guy in a movie lol

[@NeinFeline]

This IS MGK

[@SirBuzz]

Holy crap, I was just thinking that he looks like someone else and that's who it was!😂

[@miriam.6304]

He was actually really good and innocent but did a lot of drugs so it messed with his head but you can feel his great fullness he really was thankful that mtv picked him and changed his life 😢 and thanks for leaving up the 90s commercials 7:57 awesomeness 😊

[@907Prism]

Wow, this came to me ❤ miss the 90s

[@kristianhansen2022]

Jesse is machine gun Kelly's father

[@johng.3740]

He was one hell of an actor His father was a college professor, mother was an elementary school principal.....he went to A BOARDING SCHOOL, not public, not private.....boarding school.....a scholarship to UCLA drama department..... Often, the most creative artists have parents who were professors and sometimes, in the northeast USA, go to boarding schools. Back then I didn't know much, he seemed real and interesting, I thought he lived on the streets of New York, in a one bedroom shack, mattress on the floor, peeling paint, dilapidated stinky building, possibly with a drug addiction, and hanging out with his friends on the streets, possibly running from police, maybe got kicked out of his apartment, sleeping on the streets, tries to stay with his "girlfriend" who sleeps during the day and disappears at night for hours after receiving a phone call......but no. He made a comment about apes and bananas standing next to a black person which I found a bit odd.

[@avamelia7410]

Interesting lol never knew any of this

[@johng.3740]

@@avamelia7410 Yeah, it was a big surprise to me as well, I thought he was just a street kid.

[@DirtyFrankDahmer]

@@johng.3740You’re both goofy for thinking he was actually homeless and/or poor.

[@rastadpl]

Dave Holmes totally should have won that contest and we all knew it. Shit was rigged. But Dave had the last laugh and actually made it.

[@davidmckesey7119]

He's the most famous of them lol

[@sydandtaytum]

it wasn't rigged. a fan actually hacked the contest and made jesse the winner. when asked why, he said that he liked that jesse seemed different/unique and he liked that. it's one of the earliest examples of an online voting sweepstakes getting hacked.

[@supernothing77]

@@sydandtaytum how did he hack the contest?

[@gremlinfinger5964]

@@sydandtaytum I remember when TRL got rigged and everyone voted for ice ice baby to be #1 and it actually worked. I don't even remember how it started but everyone was like "vote for vanilla ice on this day so we can see if it actually works". And it did! 🤣

[@husker22chad63]

@@sydandtaytum that’s ridiculous

[@NerdLifts]

Lol. He pretends that he can barely read. I'm reality he went to a high end boarding school with a scholarship, and was offered a full ride at college too.

[@valkor73]

I saw him in time square on school trip

[@EvilEves1]

What a sweet soul

[@Xstation20]

Why doesn't mtv make these old trl shows available to steam

[@Wheeloffortunefan999]

i've always wondered whether carson played an instrument, thanks man! (the only reason i have is because i am a trivia buff.)

[@rigo62982]

No one will ever care about Carson daly

[@musicandpoetry_8]

Miss this guy lol

[@flamingbabygames]

Seeing MTV go from playing actual music to reality shows with this punk poser version of Pauley Shore was awful. This is the exact moment when MTV sucked, and it never recovered.

[@kevin2400]

His album isn’t that bad…. I still have it.

[@DirtyFrankDahmer]

You should burn me a copy.

[@dub4148]

Dave had a longer career. Losing this bullshit contest was the best thing that ever happened to him

[@DirtyFrankDahmer]

Yup

[@erich1070]

This man is a LEGEND❕

[@vanimaladventures]

"The album sold 2,600 copies in its opening week."

[@K3rbyProduction]

MGK was wild back in the day

[@arrescue]

Wow just wow lmao

[@mr.flipstv]

Signed me up

[@Dj-Ch33f]

He talks like a younger, skinny version of Bigfoot from the Howard Stern show lol

[@bakedbake]

I forgot all about Jesse. I wiki'd him and apparently all that stuff about him being homeless was made up and he comes from a wealthy family and went to private school. Didn't even know when I was younger.

[@Equint77]

Like they say.. takes a lot of money to look poor.

[@swampdonkey4919]

​@@Equint77 Dolly Parton said the same thing about looking cheap, lol

Such an act. Not that great a reader... yet got a scholarship to Loomis Chaffe prep school in ct. LOL

[@NealDamiano]

Yup!

[@DashingPunkSamurai]

Wasn’t homeless either. All BS. He was an MTV creation for the contest

[@tupecktherappingparrot4345]

I should review this next on my channel. Some of MTV’s best work. This just resonated with kids at the time. This kids talent was astounding and I’ve only ever said that about my childhood friends & babysitters Skinny Puppy (but it’s not cool, despite huge talent), & 16Volt. Both of whom there’s some stories about up too. Check out my growing up in rock n roll playlist, then go check out my music.

[@nicholasalbino7813]

OxyContin is a hell of a drug

[@jRabbit76]

Does anyone have the clip where Eminem is making fun of him.

[@benkistler2405]

I was 8 years old when he was on tv and even at that age I thought he was a complete tool

[@Anthonybchannel]

He's one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. SO far from a tool. He did a birthday video for me which he ABSOLUTELY did not have to do. He's a beautiful soul.

[@benkistler2405]

@@Anthonybchannel that probably is the case. What I'm saying is that the way MTV marketed him made him look like a complete tool. The ridiculous slurred speech and mannerisms, it was annoying

I watched every second of this contest and was yelling at my screen to stop his nonsense. I was pissed when he won because Dave was the true music fanatic and deserved to win. I'm glad Dave went on to better things and we never had to hear from Jesse again

[@AllboroLCD]

Hated this guy back then, BUT after recently catching some what are they doin now vid on em, I see hes the same loveable village idiot true to his roots. Camp is alright in my book now.

[@Anthonybchannel]

He's a good guy for sure. He's always been cool with me

[@SomethingSomethingg]

Other than animal rights, everything was better in the '90s

[@stancoffey3984]

A reason to switch channels he was a clown

[@amandapetersen4595]

The original hipster or homeless?

[@NealDamiano]

This was such a disgrace to the art of broadcasting and being a VJ. It was just a testament to how superficial MTV became. And a seasoned real journalist Kurt Loder must of been puking in his mouth every time he had to do a segment with this kid🤷‍♂️. And btw could hardly read , talk about a fake act this kid attended an elite prep school in CT.

[@jessejackson7445]

Yeah! It’s been years but I knew who the fuck Kurt Loder was. He’s top tier.

[@kevin2400]

[@janethough2798]

You dont get it.

[@swampdonkey4919]

Not gonna hate on the guy for having an on-screen persona that doesn't match his true self. That would be like saying Steve from Blues Clues is fake.

[@davidmckesey7119]

Yet Dave was had a bigger host lol

[@davidkruse4030]

Jesse was a Clownshow.

[@swampdonkey4919]

Annoying in a funny way. 90s stoner humor?
