Jesse Camp (born Josiah A. Camp III, November 4, 1979) was the winner of the first Wanna Be a VJ contest on MTV. He won over Dave Holmes for a Veejay job on the popular music video show Total Request Live (TRL) and the short-lived Lunch with Jesse.

Jesse attended the prestigious Loomis Chaffee prep school in Connecticut. He had an offbeat, scratchy voice and wore intentionally distressed clothing. Due to his gangly frame, many viewers speculated that he fit the image of one who frequently abuses drugs. Perhaps he was meant to remind people of rock stars such as Keith Richards and Iggy Pop.
Controversy
During the course of Wanna Be a VJ, he led many viewers to believe that he was currently homeless, in order to garner sympathy. Later on, news of his prep school past exposed him as a privileged fraud. More on [ Jesse Camp ]
