When you're pulled out of an video editing room to audition for a new job - because Kurt Loder is going on vacation and his normal substitute, John Norris, just became a VJ. Good thing I was wearing such TV camera friendly attire. 🙄 #changeofplans @changeofplans @drmayashankar 🩷 #mtvnews @mtv #vintage #90s @kurtloder ❤️ #tvready #ginger #auditiontape #archive @johnnorris 🧡
And became one of the voices of my generation.
Your MTV News visit to Central High (Manchester, NH) in the lead up to '92 is a story I often tell. But two follow-ups. Thankfully, there was no social media to capture how 17 year old me fanboyed you. And I better make sure my mom still has that Rock the Vote poster! "MTV News. You hear it first." ❤
But I can remember those MTV News Updates like they were yesterday.
Oh wow. You were great. Watched all the time. Ultimately ended up working there. Hope all is well!
I still remember you being in the Beastie Boys video
You were a natural on camera -- but you're correct, that top was as distractingly intrusive as an acid flashback.
So good. Love it. I remember those days. :)
I loved MTV News! I thought you guys did a great job of focusing on relevant policies and people and encouraging younger voters to form their points of view!
Dave said there was going to be "someome new on MTV News" I think that was you!

2moI'm pretty sure I remember the edit when this happened. Can't remember what we were cutting though. Do you?
