About Jesse Camp

Jesse Camp (born Josiah Jesse Holden Camp III, November 4, 1979; has also gone by "Josh" and "Jason") was the winner of the first Wanna Be a VJ contest on MTV. He beat out Dave Holmes for a VJ job on the popular music video show Total Request Live (TRL), and also hosted the short-lived Lunch with Jesse, which was canceled in 2000. Camp held his position as an occasional TRL host for one year. Upon leaving he attempted to parlay his MTV fame into a music career, announcing the debut album of his band Jesse & the 8th Street Kidz on the Hollywood Records label. The album failed to chart on the Billboard 200, only reaching number 50 on the Heatseekers Chart for new and developing artists. After lackluster sales Camp's band was dropped from the label. In late 2006, he was reportedly working at a Los Angeles-area pet supply store. In 2008 he began working for a non-profit organization called "Telefund" as a caller, raising money for non-profit liberal and progressive organizations.
