Watch Former MTV VJ Jesse Camp and Some Stuffed Animals Vlog the VMAs

Fans of ‘90s MTV surely remember Jesse Camp from the classic Total Request Live era. He’s the haystack-haired rocker dude/St. Mark’s street urchin who won MTV’s “Wanna Be a VJ” contest and was catapulted to instant cable-TV fame back in 1998. (For more on his stranger-than-fiction backstory, check out Yahoo Music’s interview here.)

Sadly, Jesse and his fellow TRL VJs aren’t on MTV anymore, and haven’t been for some time. But Jesse still watches the MTV Video Music Awards, and this year, he vlogged Sunday’s wild, Miley Cyrus-hosted VMAs spectacle just for Yahoo… with the help of some furry friends (aka “Jesse’s Gang”) that, frankly, are much more interesting than most of MTV’s current crop of VJs.

So, yeah… we’re just going to leave this video here. Enjoy!
